Conservationist? Indians routinely burned prairies and forest and slaughtered fleeing animals, many which were not used. They ran bison off of cliffs killing thousands, taking what they could, and left the rest to rot in the hot miday sun
Not being of Native American descent from your country (prarie indians) I can only go by what I've read in books about their culture , as I assume your basing your opinions on (by book) , I'd be very interested in reading the books which describe how they "routinely burned praries and forest and slaughtered fleeing animals , which were not used".
Running bison off cliffs (which I have read) was done on rare occasion , but I find it pretty ingenious myself , and I might add that they used everything from the meat , the hides , and the horns , to the hoofs , and the bones. Very unlike the white man who slaughtered thousands upon thousands for the hide and some meat but left most to rot and is the very reason the bison were approaching extinction.
Not one person able to answer anything in a resonable fashion. You can answer my questions first bowfanatic, then you can bring it. I'm not going to argue with idealist and such, facts only.
Was there one reasonable "question" that was awaiting an answer?
"Idealist"?
I've been called many things , but that one my friend goes with me like oil mixes with water!
I have a double major from the U of M, B. S. Resource Conservation & Political Science, minor in Native American Studies. Doesn't make me an expert at all, but it doesn't mean I'm shooting from the hip either
With the replies you made above , "shooting from the hip" is exactly what I would call it! All that education and you still have an apparent hatred towards the American Indian.
Actually, perhaps this thread should be transferred to the politics section?
Sorry , been there , done that! Thats the very reason I dont participate in the politics section. I know you have your brotherhood over there.
