Amazing....
Post stated:
"Sinnerss all just have thanksgiving that we survived!"
Simply put- native americans were sinners like all of us
as in ordinary imperfect human beings
they did everything those who came after them did just at a different level of magnitude and technology
they beat up on other tribes constantly displacing them and taking their land- political activity just like today no different
The point is that some would like to hold the Native Americans unaccountable or somehow more perfect.
That is simply wrong- Those who came after them also had wonderful philosophical thoughts. All peoples have made contributions bad and good.
So lets just give thanks that we all somehow survived our human imperfections.
To try again....to do better
