1) hahahhahahahhahahahahah. You think them Romans just walked into empty Europe? Oh man don’t even get me started on European history.

2) I’m surprised you picked Neutral and not larger nations in that same war, like, for example, the Huron? Your google-fu has failed you.

Beaver wars were a recruiting war (very common with natives) to try to increase Iroquois numbers after several particularly bad waves of smallpox. The idea was “join us or we’ll eat you” literally. They got as many POWs as they could and had this “join us or we’ll respectfully eat you” ceremony.

There are still a surprising number of “Iroquois” who spoke Huron hundreds of years after the massacre so I’m guessing which which option most people went with.

Man it’s wrong to assume the tribes had fixed territories or any concept of territory. Territory changed constantly, except in the agricultural areas near the coasts, and in new mexico, but those guys were the minority.

Natives went to war constantly, but the buffalo-hide shield was pretty effective against the bow and arrow so you mostly got stand-offs and raids. Till the guns started being traded around and then it was bloody massacre.

Don’t know if entire tribes were killed before the beothuk but humans are fucked up anywhere so maybe.

Ron Cobb was the editorial cartoonest for the Los Angeles Free Press (among others) during the mid sixties. The cartoon above was published in a collection of his works called “My Fellow Americans”. An additional collection was titled “Raw Sewage”. All his books are out of print, although his work remains largely pertinant to this very day. He has gone on to a variety of film related work (ref. Wikipedia).

This isn’t like my house – I have a basement not a pussy crawlspace!

In all fairness… The USA pays them monthly for each child… and the casinos, and the reservation where they have their own laws.

-My European descent says… Sorry.

-My American Indian descent says… Who got the last laugh; White man!!!
