  • This show loses credibility when they bring up the Lakota but refuse to report on the Russian decimation of the Circassian people.

  • long live native america

  • @Hanniboom -- What part of 'The Land is not for Sale' does this poster not understand? Like most Native Indian Tribes, their nations were democratic in practice, not just principle as it is with the anglos who conquered and plundered them -- the Tribe did not cede to the proferred terms of the enforced 'sale' of their Homeland. Why would they barter for livestock instead? Besides, their tradition wasn't as herders but hunter/gatherers.

  • @veltpak6 Over 200? We've been fighting since the Spanish came. LAKOTAH YELO!

  • You can't group all Americans together. I am ashamed of some of the things the founders of this country have done, but the fact that I call myself American is no reason to believe that I am evil and mean harm to anything or anyone.

  • MOROCCO WAS THE FIRST NATION TO RECOGNIZE THE USA. I AM A MOROCCAN AND I RECOGNIZE THE REPUBLIQUE OF LAKOTO. LIVE POOR BUT FREEEEEEEEE. IT IS A MIRACLE THAT BUFALOS STILL EXIST IN THERE. BECAUSE IN THE FIRST 100 YEAS OF ARRIVAL OF THE EUROPEANS (THE WHITE EVIL MAN) TO THAT BIG BIG LAND.THE BUFFALOS WERE NOWHERE TO BE FOUND YOU CAN READ THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS

  • @trisgilmour Are you taking the piss? It's nothing got to do with whether they were moderate or not, but rather how they treated others in the process. Yes the British Empire was very advanced but many indigenous populations had to suffer in order for this to happen, e.g. the slave trade on plantations. Also putting your comment in caps doesn't make it any more valid and frankly makes you look stupid.

  • @GaeilgeSpraoi IF YOU STUDY THE HISTORY THE BRITISH WERE THE MOST MODERATE AND THE AMERICANS AND THE SPANISH WERE THE WORST

  • @GaeilgeSpraoi

    You forget what the Irish did to the native Americans. As for what the "British" did to you I have no opinion.
