They didnt own the land. What court gave them title to it? Did god give them the right to it? They didnt believe in the white man's god. If they had converted, they may have been able to own the land they had previously roamed on.

They were killed for tresspassing on the land that the settlers had claimed and had title to. God gave the white man the right to the land.

If you're upset, be so at God.

This is another thing that pisses me off. It should probably be another thread, but since this has been high-jacked anyway...

The NA get money for the fact that whitey drove them off their lands. They say how horrible whitey was for coming over, "taking their lands" and then kicking their ass.

Well let's look at what happened before whitey came over:

NA wandered around dragging their tents behind them, kicking eachothers asses. End of story.

They didn't have wheels, they didn't have horses. They didn't even build anything permenant. (Yes, there is a small exception to this; a few of the eastern tribes actually built lodges.)

But all in all, the Apache, Comanche, etc etc all wandered around killing eachother.

It's fine for them to kill eachother. That's "heritage". But when whitey does it more effectively, it's evil.

So now whitey pays them money to live on their lands that whitey gave them.

Sure, don't get me wrong, lots of people died. But don't even act like the NA were some peaceful happy-go-lucky group of people that were all innocent and fun. They weren't. They slaughtered eachother. They raided eachothers tribes. They raped eachothers womens. They kidnapped eachothers young. They were not a friendly people en masse.

Yes, there were some friendly tribes. But as a whole, they were not. They were a war-like people. That's what they did. They killed eachother and stole "eachother's land".

Quzah.
