  1. There are no indigenous people in the Americas, nor in Europe, Asia, or even Australia. All humans found on these continents are an invasive species from Africa. What you refer to as indigenous peoples are merely technologically unsophisticated invaders. Your continual failure to admit the truth regarding human populations is just more spin. And your news, though better than the cable channels, is saturated with spin, and impoverished as far as hard facts about such matters are concerned.

  2.  The Loner Millionaire  Quite right: they never recognize or mention the fact that the peoples they refer to as indgenious were, in precolumbian times, continually at war with each other. And thier methods were totally politically incorrect and brutal. So brutal that the entire idea of surrendering to a victor was not even considered an option. Nobody seemed to want to be tortured as public entertainment for days on end, and handed over to the women and children to have sport with the last of you. If one was lucky they didn't eat you. Of course now they are peaceful environmentalists. Right -- They were such great environmentalist that one of the major extinction events just happened to coincide with their prenetration of the Americas. Just like everywhere else on earth. Gone also are the early European horse tribes. So gone: that they are generally not even known. What really makes me laugh is the way that self-proclaimed sophisticalted intellectuals, take claims of sacred mountains and special sacred lands seriously. Either you see the Buddha in a stick of dung (which is to say that everything is sacred if you are) or your are just spiniing bullshit.
