Jay,

how "cruel" our white ancestors were
to "drive them off their land."


Nobody said anything about the nobility of Native Americans. But there
simply can be no debate that they were subjected to systematic genocide
by people who greedily wanted the land they lived on. People whose
descendants now comprise the majority of the people living in the US.
And no matter the details of ownership - it destroyed their life style
and thus their society and subsequently their excistence. To claim that
"the Indians are still well and alive among us" is utterly cynical at
best.
