(54,820 posts)Do you mean the Christians who converted indigenous peoples who agreed with them and slaughtered the rest? The ones who separated indigenous children from their parents and shipped them off to learn American values at boarding schools? The ones who made treaties and failed to deliver on what they promised? You think these guys would try to erase culture in the name of not erasing culture? Who could believe that?

(8,224 posts)Trump has well known animosity towards NA's Jealous of their casinos
We all know he is a "punch down" guy. And he loves to insult anyone he can
Perhaps he will turn the exhibits into "to the victors go the spoils" brag fest. Like celebrating all the massacres and filling the place up with plunder and stolen artifacts, skeletons etc. Ginned-up portrayals of Natives as savages, etc Old saying: history is written by the winners

(20,837 posts)I tours those grounds in late February of 2005.
I saw the markers that noted where Col. George Custer and others fell to their deaths , even the horses, over 3 hot days in June of 1876. At the battlefield sight is a monument to the brave Sioux warriors under Sitting Bull. Nothing that the Battle at Little Big Horn was over the discovery of Gold in the Black Hills and Deadwood in South Dakota. The US Government at the time, reneged on the treaty set with the Lakota Sioux about territorial lands. The rest is history.
