Who is this impostor and what did they do with the real @Wadtucket
Hey I was wondering, having noticed the difference in tribe names in places like Oklahoma compared to Canada and the North. Do you have anything I can read about where tribes got their name and it's basic geographically?


Nothing too early to eat, I’d be nauseous.
You going to leggo the preggo or are you keeping it?

I don't study language, but there are tons of resources for that kind of thing. I will say, though, that you're dealing with at least 2 immediate and separate issues: what tribes call themselves, and what other people (French, American, etc) named them. The Nez Perce, for example, are actually the Niimiipu (my spelling might be off there).
I can hook you up with resources that track tribal language grouping, but my knowledge of the subject is very limited.

We learned some of it in school but mostly about the "five civilized tribes". I'm just curious as to how each nations language developed. I remember reading that when Anglo colonists came to the US the Natives were basically living a post apocalyptic lifestyle in comparison to the pre-spanish influence.

That's something I wish was taught more in American history because I'm woefully uninformed on the history of America before Plymouth Rock.

So any literature you can forward over I'd love to read it. Btw you going to drop some knowledge in the Columbus thread or nah?

Naaaah. I specifically avoid dropping knowledge in threads like that lol. Well, most of the time. Tbh there's nowhere for me to go in there but down into the filthy slime with all the ignorant rabble. And I'm secure enough in my own understanding of indigenous history, which is immense compared to most people, that I don't need to flex. Just a recipe for pissing myself off. The mascot thread is way worse for me, though, just because that issue boils my fucking blood.

I'm about to pass out at the moment, but i'll hook you up with some reading later today.
 
He's referring to Seano's defense of the prick who fired a shotgun at a black kid who merely asked him for directions after missing the bus and getting lost while walking to school (it was not a straightforward route). It was completely indefensible, but Seano reasoned both that the homeowner should conclude that the kid is trying to rob him, and that it's okay to try to murder him by shooting him in the back as he runs off.

Could've said it much differently to make that point.

I’d never get an abortion.
