Lol I was just trying to contribute to the discussion with what I posted. Saw no need for a separate thread.

BTW I'm half Puerto Rican with a Spanish surname, don't have any mainland family ties. My ancestors on my father's side were likely fucked over by the Spaniards. But yea, maybe I'll light one up later too lol.

I'm Apache and had no idea we were friends with Spaniards.. for some reason my people must have told me wrong and explained that Spanish and Mexicans were one of our most mortal enemies of which we raided and fought for generations...

They did fight with the Spanish alot. It was rather amusing as they would uproot each other back and forth over territory like a benny hill chase in a bid to see who was more stubborn but as noted some made peace with the spaniards

Don't give me that bullshit that the Sioux were "just" at war. The Sioux were out to wipe out other tribes, aka extermination. That's why they chased the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikira 3/4 of the way across the state. That's just in ND. There's some members in this forum whose tribes got slaughtered by the Sioux and pushed out of their home land.
Aren't you from the Fund Du Lack band?

Nah i'm Fort Sill Apache and Mississippi Choctaw, one of those tribes historically being (or having become tbh) an order of magnitude more warlike than the other.
But there's a distinction here I think you're missing, and that's ok. Now, take a few different "sioux" bands, any will do. Some of them, historically, were much much more conflict oriented than other tribes for a variety of reasons. It's not too far of a stretch imo to view that tribal grouping, generally speaking, as forming into an almost mini empire of its own prior to westward expansion by whites. This was accomplished through the introduction and extreme mastery of both guns and in particular horses, making them capable of driving out any and all other tribes that could possibly compete for resources (especially bison). But if you're convinced that the point was to wipe out other tribes simply because they existed, you'd be wrong- even if the conflicts were extremely violent and resulted in large loss of life, villages being razed, tribes diminishing or vanishing. Such behavior isn't 100% unknown on this continent prior to euro contact (even in that region) but broadly speaking, it was introduced. That kind of soup-to-nuts extermination was basically new for most tribes. For white society (again, broadly speaking) the very idea of an indian was often completely intolerable, and I do mean the idea itself. If physical extermination couldn't be accomplished, which was risky and harder to swallow morally, then culturally they had to be fundamentally eradicated in many cases.

My great great Grandmother was native american. Its weird, it's just not something that ever came up. I saw a picture of her when I was a kid, an old tin type, and she dressed as a white person would at the time but she was pretty clearly not white.

From what I understand, it was still sort of taboo to mix races at that time. Not that it didn't happen, it was just considered sort of unusual. Its just not something that was ever talked about in my family. I have no idea what tribal affiliation she had or if she had any at all.

We must be brothers or something except I'd never allow a Mayweather fan to be related to me.
 
Arent the Mexicans, Guatemalans, Hondurans, and El Salvadorians technically Native Americans?

They probably have more indigenous genes than white folks claiming descent so they can get money from casinos.

Puerto Ricans can be considered that too.

This is one of my favorite all-time books. If you haven't already, you might also check out "The Captured" which is first hand accounts of people taken captive by Comanches. Also, Larry McMurtry's "Lonesome Dove" tetralogy is a great historical fiction saga with a lot of Comanche lore worked into it--including the legendary Comanche leader, Buffalo Hump. "Dead Man's Walk", the first chronological book in the series, is essentially about Texas rangers being hunted by Comanches while traversing the Llano Estecado. That book turned me on to Comanche culture and sent me down a rabbit whole of a lot books on the topic.

And man, were they a cruel bunch! They did things that would have ISIS saying, "Okay, that's a little extreme." lol

Facts is what this "half breed" deals in, hommie. Perhaps provide some that falsify what I posted, otherwise accept it.
 
Went to college in northern WI near a few reservations (Ojibwa) but have always been fascinated by the culture. Took an awesome native amerrican history course in college and our prof (Ojibwa) brought in his gun stock war club and a bunch of other artifacts that were really fascinating.
