![]() Jay Honeck wrote: How do you steal something neither owned, nor possessed? You're claiming the land now called the US was not "owned or possessed"? You claim Native Americans somehow "don't count" because they didn't have any ownership contracts to show? Jeeze! Well, I don't want to put words in his mouth, but he may be coming at this from this angle: Native Americans, by their own beliefs, made no claim on the land, in fact denying that it *could* be owned. It's hard to imagine "stealing" land from people who make no claim on it. The Indians were in a near constant state of war with each other over land and other issues. Read Lewis and Clarks account of their trip. The white man comes in and is better at war and outright deception. That's life. To which I would add this: Native Americans are still here, and are a welcome part of American society. To say that they were all killed is, in fact, wrong. Now if the Indians would wake up and get rid of those stupid reservations they could be as successful as the rest of us. |
