Who are the American Indians?
The tragedy of the Indians, probably, now known to everyone – this is the autochthonous inhabitants of the Americas, which were almost driven from their homes, and long had to fight the “white”. American Indians who lived on the local territory, were considered wild, and the conquerors treated them as mentally underdeveloped people, or as to the children cruelly deceiving them and destroying. There were many transactions, for some American Indians gave up their land for beads, knives and stuff, and were forced to leave their territory.
American Indians for a long time did not trust the white, even those who do good to him, and could easily kill for the slightest infraction. Of course, this whole story is very sad, because we, or rather, our ancestors – civilized and highly developed, allowed this massacre, in which external goods has become an attempt to civilize the free tribes.
Interesting fact: why American Indians were called “Indians” because their skin color, though dark, but not red? This served as their love for the coloring of the skin, often in the red staggers, which in the whole animal world is a symbol of danger.
