Chief Burning Face - acquired his name during the sand creek massacre. originally known as “Big Wolf,” he was 27 years old when he defended his village from the US army during an attack. Amid the smoke and fire of the massacre, he appeared to be on fire. he miraculously survived, became a chief, and lived to 80 years old.

Paul V - I assume that your words were written with a bit of mirth in them.
ReplyDeleteFrom my fairly extensive reading about Native American and their culture of endless raiding other tribes, killing, raping, kidnapping, stealing horses and cattle and causing massive death and destruction, it went on for centuries before the European settlers showed up.
And with regard to "defending his village" during the Sand Creek incident... the Indians were caught with their pants down and they put up a paltry fight.
Oh, I thought taking scalps, raiding parties, war paint, tomahawks were invented post-Colombian. /sarc.
ReplyDeleteI get your sarcasm. The truth be told, the Asian people crossed the Bering Straits between 15,000 and 30,000 years ago. They were practicing savage "tribal warfare" from that point until Columbus showed up in 1492. If any limp wrist libtard want to believe that from 1500 to 1864 (when Sand Creek occurred), that was when the "savages" were savage, that is a shame.
ReplyDeleteToday is a banner day for idiotic comments, I see. Glad to participate.
ReplyDeleteThe Mandans were rumoured to be Welsh speaking. Blue eyes, pale skin, etc. Yet they were exterminated somewhere on the "Frontier". Whodunnit? What of that Columbus guinea?
