Can we please not entertain this "noble savage" nonsense. You know what natives were before 1942? Salves, victims of endemic rape, ethnic cleansing, and the like. Native Americans aren't any different than people anywhere else on the globe. Their society was just as fucked up (probably more so at that time) as were the societies of Europe, the near east, the subcontinent, Northern Africa, western Africa, subsaharan Africa, Asia, etc. Women had zero rites, were married off and expected to make babies as soon as their period started, basically every shitty thing you can think of existed.

And natives haven't been homeless since 1492 either.
@2 haha. yeah some editing would be nice.
"Natives Were Never Homeless Before 1492"
Cool story bro.
@6 Garbled Garbage
@1 If there's one thing Native American women probably had plenty of, it was rites.
@1 - Yes, let's commit systematic genocide on anyone who's ever fought. Totally reasonable.
