You know, Jabba every time the Native American Indians open a Non Tax paying Casino, it makes my day. It was their country first. Glad they are getting a little back. You robbed & murdered them, then made history books that lied. Remember Col Custer. Big Hero.

Nothing against Native American Indians.

I do believe that prior to their emmigration over the land bridge Celtic people were living in North America and apparently the new immigrants ate them all. They don't put that one in the history books....

The history books are a joke - but I'm sure that is true for many countries other than the US.

Ask the average American who Sam Huntingdon was or what the Articles of the Confederation are....

Well from the books I have read, it was the Cowboys & settlers who scalped the Native American Indians. Ditto they cut off of woman’s breasts & made Tobacco pouches. Ditto, cut the unborn babies out of the mother’s wombs & stuck them on spikes.

Sad thing those westerns always show us the other way around.

The Indians did scalp people BUT only after the French put them up to it. The Indians were basically acting as mercenaries for the French who were paying them for each English Colonist they murdered during the French & Indian War.

The French said they wanted proof of each "kill" in the form of the "pelt" of each person before they would pay.
