  Literally cave people who hadn’t even invented metal or the wheel because they were too busy slaughtering, enslaving, eating and mass human sacrificing each other when Europeans came. There is zero wisdom that wasn’t given to them.

  If you’re so smart why don’t you still own this country?

  @Uekwqo i think that is a gross oversimplification of the topic. Aboriginals in Australia for example had an idyllic lifestyle for the most part, casually harvesting and hunting a few hours a day, compared to the dusk til dawn toil of English settlers, and Tim Lowe covers this in his bush food books. Both native cultures also had a very rich culture, history and way of life, but lacked the technological means the Europeans possessed, and in nature a physically stronger species overcomes a weaker one. As we are seeing now, both cultures could learn a lot from each other, and the west needs a spiritual /ecological rebalancing.

  @Uekwqo @Nick_Kerr
  The europeans/americans are well described in,

  Rom 1:18-22

  18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

  19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

  20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

  21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

  22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

  Rom 1:30

  30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

  “inventors of evil things”

  If I had to choose between living with Indians or Christians, I’d choose Indians.
