The exact argument that European descendants have used for centuries excuse their own horrific crimes. Yes there were brutal attacks among indigenous tribes but it pales in comparison to the massive scale of genocide committed by European colonizers in Africa and the Americas. The wholesale slaughter of indigenous peoples that killed many millions of people and robbed them of their resources is in no way comparable to the intertribal warfare between tribes AND ignores the many peaceful tribes that were wiped out also . Yours is a racist, white supremacist view of history and it is an attempt to whitewash (pun intended) the massive scale of the atrocities committed by Europeans all over the world. So gtfoh with this settler/colonizer 🐂💩.
Also fact; the Pawnee because of their dwindling numbers , ceded much of their territory to the U.S. in return for promised protection just another of the many treaties broken by the colonizers
Thanks for missing the entire point. American myth making tries to cover up a myriad of sins, not just the genocide of the indigenous people. What kind of asshole thinks that this is a “fun” fact and is that supposed to excuse the genocide against the native peoples of the Americas?
It is you who missed the point Mr. Doogan. No one is unaware of the brutal campaign against Native Americans and Mt. Rushmore is not covering that up. But you are apparently unaware that that this is not unique to European colonists or American settlers. The native people who lost their land were no less brutal against their neighbors than colonists were against them. This is part of the human condition and is found throughout the entirety of human history. Nearly every piece of land on this planet was claimed, stolen, reclaimed for another and so forth. To chastise white Europeans and Americans while ignoring the brutality of nearly every single society that exists or had existed is absolutely absurd. But seeing as though you already degraded yourself by resorting name calling and personal attacks, I'll leave you to your own self-hatred and misery. Be well.
Fun Fact: The Sioux (Lakota) people were brutally violent against Pawnee people, particularly during the the battle of Massacre Canyon in 1873 when "a large Sioux war party of over 1,500 Oglala, Brulé, and Sihasapa warriors, led by Two Strike, Little Wound, and Spotted Tail attacked a band of Pawnee during their summer buffalo hunt. In the ensuing rout, many Pawnees were killed with estimates of casualties ranging widely from around 50 to over 150. The victims, who were mostly women and children, suffered mutilation and sexual assault."
This was nothing new to the Pawnee people, who had been brutalized by the Lakota for centuries. They were absolutely ruthless people.
Fact : up until the 1830s the Pawnee were the most numerous and powerful tribe in the area. . Smallpox, introduced by Europeans, reduced their numbers by half and forced migration led to increased competition and hostility between tribes that normally would not come into contact with each other!
