INDIANS AND BUFFALOS | 2004-11-09
Before the white man brought the horse to America, more Indians were killed by buffalos than buffalos were killed by Indians.
That Noble Native American you see on television had nothing to do with real pre-white America. They lived on corn and, like the Peruvians today, were horribly sick from worms and malnutrition. Their teeth fell out, they had all the horrible diseases like pelagra that malnutrition brings.
Those were the Great Native American Civilizations and the wildly sophisticated Mound People.
Once Indians got horses, they started slaughtering buffalo, cutting off only the hump for meat. You know, that thing that only the Evil White Man did.
If Indians killed a LOT of buffalo, they would just eat the humps. If they killed only a few, they ate every bit of the buffalo. So historians decided that Indians used every bit of Beloved Brother Buffalo, while whites were callous and cruel and killed them for fun.
Indians had nothing else, so used all of the buffalo for their needs. Political Correctness has declared this True Morality.
Professional historians are not just "mistaken." They are silly asses.
