Prior to the American invasion, we know that the horse was not in America. Ergo, native Americans must have travelled, hunted on foot. We have recorded history going back to 5000BC. But I cannot find anything on the Native American (other than Incas and Mayas) that tells me how they lived, their tribal relationships, that is diplomacy with other tribes. Was there internal strife? Especially as most European countries have had at least one civil war. I suspect that most of the "records" would have been handed down by Tradition, verbally. To let such a rich culture, and history, diminish and possibly vanish, would be as great a crime, in one sense, as those perpetrated against the Native Americans, by "invaders". I do not apologize for holding strong views. I find it hard to understand a history that only begins in 1492AD, when the American peoples were there for centuries, possibly millenia, before then.
