Actually there were great civilizations here such as the Maya and the Inca. The tribes didn't wage war on each other any more than the Europeans. The Revolution was a war between Euro's as was the Civil War (for the most part). The First Nation peoples lived here for tens of thousands of without poisoning the land, water, and air like the paleface tribes did in just a couple hundred years. Nations and tribes are like individuals doing good and bad to one degree or another. I'm Lakota and Viking so which race should I side with? I identify as American mongrel patriot and that's all that matters to me. Are Patriot or not. Nothing else matters right now.
