I remember...... It was taught to me, by my elders & the white mans boarding school teachers. I remember both sides of the story. Which do you think that I believe? The so called "invasion" was not "illegal" in any sense of the word, it was a conquest of an indigenous peoples homeland for colonization & exploitation of the lands riches & resources. The fact that the Natives would fight and die rather than become like white men is a sad part of American history. As far as assimilation is concerned, Many Whites did assimilate into Native cultures, marrying native women and becoming like the Natives who they admired,& respected. Many White women were kidnapped and forcibly made to assimilate in order to produce children who were neither white or native, those ones were hated by both sides, accepted by neither. I remember many things about that of which you speak. You only have a small part of the story, which you twisted to try to create something you can never have until you become righteous. You do not have the truth. I suggest you go find the truth and begin teaching the truth to your people so they will know what the truth sounds like.

Well Geeze Cochise, I don't know. Maybe because 500 years ago it seemed like a good idea. I mean why didn't the indians do a better job fighting back? Why? because they were savages! They were too busy fighting their little wars amongst themselves. Do you think Cortez could have defeated the Aztecs without the help of the are natives who saw the Spaniards as saviors from the oppressive and cruel Aztecs? The Iroquois League was a brilliant concept. But they gave in too much to the English. Why? Because they liked the Enlish firearms and other junk. Instead of staying united and throwing the English back into the sea they accomodated them. The indians cut their own throats. Our ancestors just gave them the knives to do it with.

You are right some of this racist need to remember at one time they were so illegals, as the illegals now, however now we Mexicans invite you to celebrate 5 de mayo, we do not force the culture we share our culture, in the past the invaders that came here try to force the cultures and religious to the native Americans when this didn't work the put them in concentration camps sorry they call reservations or kill them o Yeah! in that time there was no laws about immigrations there was not props. or nothing like that so it make it OK to invade and kill if necessary after all the just want the American dream

Does anyone not remember that Indians killed off all the saber-toothed tigers, and ate every last mammoth in North America?
As to assimilating into Indian culture, yes, sure, like anyone would give up 1) Irish linen shirts, 2) timepieces, 3) hard-soled boots, 4) copper pots for cooking, 5) steel blades, 6) brass candlesticks to hold 7) candles for 8) reading and 9) writing, perhaps while wearing 10) spectacles... this list could go on for some time, you know.
Incidentally, my great-grandmother's family was friendly with the local Indians (this was in Virgina in the early 1700s); one particularly hard winter, they deliberately set out sacks of flour, a side of a deer and some molasses for the Indians. The following spring, when my great-grandmother was obviously pregnant, she found on her doorstep a tiny pair of moccasins, trimmed with porcupine quills.

No, I don't recall that. I recall they wanted to trade with us and other things. But, they didn't understand that when you sell land, that's forever, they thought we were just renting, so they got mad and we fought back and now here we are.
Where did illegal entry come into that?
And how does that not make America a soverign country? Would you have like it if we turned our heads at Hitler, let him take over the USA and then Mexico right on down? Boy winning world war two which also saved your country turned out to be a bummer for you too, huh?
Give me a break, stop reading comic books. As I recall, when your people came to Mexico alot of people were killed and wiped out also...or is your bigotry on directed at America?
Face it. You just want to steal what we have any way you can do it. Otherwise, why would you want here? If you did succeed and turn it in another Mexico, where does all that America support go, and what kind of life do you think you'd have?
Your a contradicition only unto yourself, and leave America out of your problems. Go fix Mexico.

quite a lot of heat here, not much light
if you are looking for thieves, you should look at people with a lot - people with the most
a thief is someone who succeeds in taking things that dont belong to him [or her] - ie, a thief has a lot of money - the biggest thieves have the most money
a poor person cannot be a thief - or can only be a very tiny thief
you let wealth concentrate in america, now they have most of the money, and most of the power
so they do exactly what they want - no one is powerful enough to enforce the law on them - plus they make the laws
and what they like doing is allowing illegal immigrants in to america, so labour costs are smaller and profits are higher, and so the poor of america will fight the immigrants instead of noticing the big thieves - so they cut back the budgets of the immigration department, and pass the word not to enforce the immigration laws much
the founding fathers said that the land of the free would last only as long as wealth didnt concentrate - so you did nothing for 200 years while wealth concentrated - now you are getting poorer [or getting richer much more slowly than the rich are, which comes to the same thing] and therefore less and less powerful, more and more enslaved -
the superrich have sucked the poor, now they are sucking the middle class like a milkshake - they know this will cause violence, and so they are building massive prisons to lock up all the people who object to the final sucking of america, before the superrich move on to suck japan and china
when a person has a million times as much money, they have a million times as much power - it is like they are going around in a tank a million times the size of ordinary people's tanks - it's really hard to care about these tiny little tanks one millionth the size - people are just ants to the superrich
but the people have always been able to overthrouw the superrich and powerful - that is why it is so important to the superpowerful to turn the people against one another
'the rich rob the poor and the poor rob each other'
[the rich rob the rich and the poor rob the rich too, but the poor are easier to rob, so the poor rob the poor more often]
why cant you see any robbery in someone having heaps more money than you? - when you are working fulltime? - when no one can work much harder than fulltime?
thieves always have money - bigger thieves always have more money - the biggest thieves always have the most money - that is what thieving is: taking money - if a person has little or no money, it means he can not have stolen much
but police vigilance is all on the small thieves - why? because the police are in the pay of the big thieves, and the big thieves do not want to be stolen from
the poorer a person is, the more likely it is that he has been stolen from, by legal or illegal means
[the biggest thieves are in a position to make laws to suit themselves - wealth concentrated in america a long time ago - the biggest thieves have been making the laws for a long time now - why do you think the mafia is above the law, why the mafia havent been caught?]
all the people have to do is to combine to limit fortunes to the just maximum [$US2 million] and spread the overfortunes back around among all the robbed - equally into all bank accounts [one account per person of course] - the people, the 99% who are underpaid, and who will get more of their earnings if they do limit fortunes, can easily prevail against the will of the 1% - 99 against 1
if they will absorb the point that: thieves are rich, poor people are robbed, underpaid
you cant enormously overpay some people without enormously underpaying a lot of others
and 1% take 90% of world income - pay is up to a million times the average pay per hour
if you graph the average pay at one metre, you have to go up 1000 KILOMETRES to graph the highest hourly pay
meanwhile the hardest worker cannot work more than about 50% harder than the average - the average homemaker works 70-90 hours a week
why dont you believe in justice for yourselves? why are you working to give heaps of money to complete strangers? do you like worrying about paying bills?
do you like attacking people poorer and more robbed than yourselves?
can you wake up? can you wake up in time?
you havent woken up in 200 years

Land was acquired through war back then, as the Native Americans forced each other from their respective territories, as the Spanish conquered the natives in Mexico.
The Native Americans weren't forced to share their schools and pay for health care, school and food stamps for the Europeans' children, either.

What are you lying about now. You are jealous that you have no culture, aren't you. Is that the best you can do. Being a bigot and racist because you lack the knowledge of debate? Why not answer the blood shed of illegal immigrants by their own ppl(coyotes). There is too many that are found in my desert. I wish you would rant about true facts. Like slave wages, corporation and employers abuse of illegal immigrants. I know you a probably getting a taste of that 2 billion inhumane smuggling operation, that is why you are without facts, isn't it? Be honest for once you slave driver.

Illegal? Under which law? What sovereign nation was invaded? The Native Americans weren't unified aside from regional alliances. No offense, I don't agree with the genocide of the Native Americans but this argument isn't valid as the word "illegal" is not feasible.

Disease wiped most out. And the tribes were not united-they fought among themselves. Without many tribes-many would not have survived the first winter. History is interesting.
This hate you promote is off base. Many here on posts have Indian blood somewhere in them. and visa-versa.
Many were invited-not by illegally standards-by many tribes. Some disagreed and those were fought with by the other tribes and the newcomer. (See Texas history-New Mexico). They lost probably by a lack of numbers because they had good reasoning and a good minds.
So-please read some good history books and not just brief, it is very interesting. And you would see your question is wrong.
