Top 10: Kick-Ass Native Americans

[sharpies]

Oh, I'm an Aussie but we still have our own problems. Our Human Rights record is nothing to be proud of... in fact it is something to be ashamed of...

Actually Pete it was the English, French & Americans... but there are many countries around today with abysmal Human Rights records. Shall we start in the Middles East, or Africa, or Asia, far too many to name.

The genocide of the Native Americans is almost exclusively a USA matter I'm afraid. Events such as Wounded Knee spring straight to mind. Discounting of course the Spanish in South America.

Yes the French and English wared with many different tribes, but that was due to alligiances that different tribes made with either the French or the English. The French-Indo war, for example, was not a European Vs Native conflict, but rather a pan-American European war, sort of like a proxy war in the loosest sense of the term.

To say of course that the Europeans are completely without guilt is a fallacy of course. Apart from perhaps the Dutch or Portugese; who only ever desired trade and conflict was always born out of defence.

This is educational. I just learned some american history. The title "Kick-Ass" is misleading. I salute the warriors.

In the past, the main thrust of the Holocaust/Genocide Project's magazine, An End To Intolerance, has been the genocides that occurred in history and outside of the United States. Still, what we mustn't forget is that mass killing of Native Americans occurred in our own country. As a result, bigotry and racial discrimination still exist.
"In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue" . . . and made the first contact with the "Indians." For Native Americans, the world after 1492 would never be the same. This date marked the beginning of the long road of persecution and genocide of Native Americans, our indigenous people. Genocide was an important cause of the decline for many tribes.
