What a great question!!! I'm right in a dilemma with a native American tribe ( Casino ) I'm not thinking too highly of their ethics or morals at this point and I'm finding it hard to come up with anything substantial that they have contributed to the people, however I think they have allowed themselves to be taken in by this casino craze that our government has laid in their lap. aside from the WWII wind-talkers I can't pull anything else out of my hat.
OH, and Georgina....You know anything about the illuminati ?, We didn't take anybodies land, the powers that be...do all the taking, I bought mine from the government that you say stole it. Just like Brits' buy their's from the government that origionally stole IT!
I was Born here, so that makes me an Native American. Do you know how many non "Native American" Tribes are in the U.S. ? read up then spew.

The land we live on.
The three sisters... corn, squash, and beans.
A medicine of the Native Americans that has become a sweet revenge ... tobacco.
Many herbs.
Some natural medicines.
Many stories, look for a Canadian series of books about Native American stories, Nanabosho.

I never really studied it much, but they did name a lot of places and we borrowed words from them. And lots of their culture is integrated in South America and states like Louisianna.
And to Georgina, I'm pretty sure almost every country the British tried to conquer was scarred for a while.

I agree with Georgina. We destroyed Native Americans culture and we have the nerve to say what their contributions were? Their contribution was their culture itself, obviously, it's gone.
There was this saying: "You think your race/culture had it bad? Well, at least you're not the Indians, they're all dead." (MOST of them anyway.)

They were very skilled at tanning leather, also at growing crops (like corn).

None, you took there land, their lives and everything they created... You have become the most hated country on earth due to your arrogance, stupidity and lack of culture.... Most countries preserve there ancestry and respect what people have done. You kill and blow up .......How very sad..
