Druydess, the only thing I'm trying to point out to herdbound is that all Native Americans weren't and aren't the great and kind people she's trying to make the whole race out to be..There are all levels of good and even evil in ALL humans. No one person is perfect and only does all the right things all of the time...We all make mistakes, bad decisions, and bad choices...Herdbound is trying to make a point and in the process of trying to make all Native Americans seem like great and kid people, she's contradicting herself and taking it off the deep end...This WHOLE argument started with her saying only Native Americans have a special bond with their horses.

This is
FALSE. Not all NativeAmericans even LIKE horses, much less have a special bond with them..You are trying to fit all of one race into one group and it's not so..

Really? Well I have witnessed the lower level of humanity..Once you've been in those situations, you can preach to me about how I should react to someone saying that MY ancestors are all kind and great people..I know for a fact that they all weren't..and that not all Native Americans have this huge heart of gold and live by those "morals" herdbound posted..
How can you both argue with people who are DIRECTLY involved, like Cherie and FlyGap, and tell them that they aren't right in what they say? They are directly involved in those NA lifestyles..You and herdbound are making false assumptions then wanting to argue about it.

As far as the indians of old I think you would consider them cruel in thier application of horsemanship. The indians you're talking about that have the magical connection to all horses only exist in Hollywood. |
Completely true statement..

You even said it here yourself...All of the Native American cultures are vastly different.

I'm sorry, were you there? Did you speak with those wives? The ones who were considered as the only ones who worked and made the tribe work? The guys were just hunters or warriors...The NA women had the hardest lives of all.

What about the other tribes that do not feel that way? That murder for fun? Scalp women and children? So on and so forth..

I think that is why I was offended by the posts referring to NA's earlier...I don't like when they are portrayed like that if you have any idea of the fundamentals of their spirituality and their respect for Great Spirit or Wankan Tanka and all the creation they feel are a gift...you wouldn't say those things... |
I forgot, she got in her time machine and traveled there to ask the artists what they thought of their scene..This is also coming from the same girl who worships the Great Spirit and Wankan Tanka but has an Islamic quote as her signature..

You two are the members who bought Native Americans into the whole thread to begin with.
