Fluffy56,

Saw that no one brought up this important piece of info, so here we go. According to the law of the land established by all the natives who lived on the land before the settlers came (the same natives who also wiped out neighboring tribes and inslaved them as to work the land the invading tribe took) Anyone who killed the people holding a piece of land before they arrived were then the rightful owners of that same land until someone else came to kill them or the laws changed. If anything the settlers did something no other group did during their time. They came to a land that wasn’t their own, and followed the laws of that land in such a way to incorporate themselves into the group living on it. Don’t really care who does what with this, but this thread wouldn’t be complete without this info.

FormerlyChucks,

Yeah sorry but conquest was the standard at the time.

cyclohexane,

If more than one entity massacred people, it means massacre is okay? Very strange logic. Do bad things have to be done by only one entity to be considered bad?

Anonymousllama,

So the same as literally every other country in existence yeah?

Bayz0r,

Nah, not even close. Educate yourself on the history of other countries before you try calling them out.

Omega_Haxors,

The whole “oh everyone is doing it” take is fascist as fuck as well. I hear it all the time from neoliberal monsters.

Omega_Haxors,

Technically the Bri’ins (living in Bri’in) are indigenous.

“Oi Bruv, i’m indigginus.”

cyclohexane,

Yeah uhh… Not at all, actually.

dodgy_bagel,

Not really, actually.

That’s usually just an empire thing.

Fades,

Canada too

rockSlayer,

That’s ok, this map of native American lands is definitely outdated. The Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) lands are much smaller than it should be. As that’s the only tribal name I can actually read, I imagine it’s a similar story for the other tribes.

Duranie,

Pretty sure this is saved from an attachment from a forwarded email of a scan of a photo copy of a mimeograph.

Definelty at the very least a copy of a printout of an email attachment that was scanned from a fax…

Agent641,

Im gonna fax this to my group chat

tdawg,

Unironcally it looks like a picture from a fifth grade social studies book

lightnsfw,

That the teacher photocopied 47 times and handed out as homework.

oldGregg,

The bottom picture isn’t accurate, I live on a reservation that isn’t listed.

If there’s one mistake I notice immediately there’s definitely more.

BingoBangoBongo,

There’s a ton missing. The point still stands, but the bottom map is more like “places that are 70%+” indigenous people, rather than a comprehensive list. Is mislabeled to make a point, which is a stupid thing to do.

ArgentRaven,

Additionally, most of Oklahoma is still various reservation lands. That was a recent court ruling, so I suspect this is a few years old.

    Let’s do a slavery.

    Steve,

    How many centuries, please tell me.

    Hint: less than one.

    TigrisMorte,

    And in many cases, is present reality and not past History at all.

    nautilus,

    Your comment is equal measures funny and absurd to be honest. Please do explain how looking back on events, decisions made, etc to better frame modern happenings is so ridiculous.
