try reading “Surviving Genocide” by Professor Jeffrey Ostler – he’s on youtube also. The first part of a sweeping two-volume history of the devastation brought to bear on Indian nations by U.S. expansion
“An elegant, organized narrative of the United States’ dispossession of Native lands east of the Mississippi. . . . A remarkable book in its breadth and scope.”—Ashley Riley Sousa, Canadian Journal of History
“Intense and well-researched, . . . ambitious, . . . magisterial. . . . Surviving Genocide sets a bar from which subsequent scholarship and teaching cannot retreat.”—Peter Nabokov, New York Review of Books
In this book, the first part of a sweeping two-volume history, Jeffrey Ostler investigates how American democracy relied on Indian dispossession and the federally sanctioned use of force to remove or slaughter Indians in the way of U.S. expansion. He charts the losses that Indians suffered from relentless violence and upheaval and the attendant effects of disease, deprivation, and exposure. This volume centers on the eastern United States from the 1750s to the start of the Civil War.
An authoritative contribution to the history of the United States’ violent path toward building a continental empire, this ambitious and well-researched book deepens our understanding of the seizure of Indigenous lands, including the use of treaties to create the appearance of Native consent to dispossession. Ostler also documents the resilience of Native people, showing how they survived genocide by creating alliances, defending their towns, and rebuilding their communities.

Are they really doing a good deed or are they just doing it for themselves?
People have a perceived oppression instead of a real oppression. It’s like the ‘Oppression Olympics.’ We’re constantly competing for oppression because we believe victimhood is a virtue. Some believe that if their ancestors were suppressed and oppressed in the past, they are still experiencing extreme suppression and oppression today, as if an evil empire continues to hold them down. They feel that the world owes them an apology, which is a classic example of victimhood narcissism and playing the blame game. Live in the present rather than dwell on the past.
Second, presentism: Judging the past by the standards of the present.
Third, the original meaning of woke: It began appearing in the 1940s and was first used by African Americans to “literally mean becoming woken up or sensitized to issues of justice”, says linguist and lexicographer Tony Thorne.
But today: A term used to describe individuals who are excessively self-righteous, morally superior, and intolerant of differing opinions. These individuals often engage in performative activism, virtue signaling, and cancel culture, using any opportunity to shame and silence those who do not conform to their rigid and narrow worldview. Woke individuals tend to prioritize their own feelings and personal experiences over facts and rationality, leading to the suppression of free speech and the erosion of intellectual discourse. Their extreme ideology promotes division, animosity, and a dangerous echo chamber mentality, inhibiting genuine progress and understanding in society.

Claiming all tribes were at war is just unproven by any historical record. Some were extremely violent, most were just trying to feed themselves. They lived off the land mostly white people decided was now theirs, so yeah, some of them fought for resources largely due to the English/French.

Good talk but parts are definitely talked to through a certain lens.
These tribal groups and communities, not nations by today standards, were prinative nomadic groups with no writtrn language, metal work, masonry, agriculture, farming, permanent civilization building that was all brought to them. When you take peoples hubdreds of years forward in all ways it can be a bit painful, as it was, but the benfits are they live in the most advanced, prosperous, and powerful country in the history of our civilization. Ask yourself who built the country and builds it forward.
The actual stories and history should definitely be documented and shared, at the local level for their communities.
Again, at most, these groups are native communities, villages, and at mlst towns by all standards and build up that way with the history and stories there, same as other places.
Theres more to this but at a high level the points are made.
Did I miss anything? At the highlevel details above.

This sort of misinformation is very harmful not only to our nation as a whole, but especially to those of us with mixed ancestry. The so-called “Native Americans” are not indigenous to this continent and are not even the first inhabitants. The FIRST inhabitants were the European Solutreans and they were here millennia before the Johnny-come-lately Asiatic invaders came walking across what is now the Bering Strait. The European Solutrean culture, the “Pre-Clovis” people, had been terribly weakened by the events at the start of the Younger Dryas and were gradually pushed south and east by the Asians, with their last territory being the Florida site of Windover about 5000BC.
Do not claim that the Europeans took the land of the Native Americans. Europeans were here first and only retook their ancestral lands. The influx of Europeans starting in the 16th Century was just the return of the same people whose ancestors had owned the land before it was taken by the Asian migrants, the colonizers who now call themselves “Native Americans”.
European descendants! Don’t be brainwashed with a false sense of guilt! Follow the science, follow the facts!

Why are tourist sites already owned by some tribes so expensive?

I hope that won’t happen in any new national park if national park breaks its rule and allows it to be managed by some local tribes.
