American Indians were less accomplished because they didn't build anything as well as didn't invent nothing because before the arrival of the Europeans to America, this land was nothing along with other lands in various parts of the world. They as well as other peoples didn't have a respect for human rights and didn't understand it because it wasn't a part of their world view.

Do you have any idea what you are saying, do you know any Native Americans? Do you know Native American culture, or the advancement of Native American culture. White societ discribes the Native American as a unruley savage that was in the way of John Wayne as he fought to push the United States foward. Of course this is all fantasy, but mainly people believe this view of the savage indian in the way of American progress. Let's take a closer look at Native American's shall we, or am I just wasting my time, because as a Native American, both from the United States and Mexico, I feel I should educate the uneducated so that they can understand my culture, and background more. But I feel that my words will fall on deaf ears, or blind eyes, or however you like it.

you ain't 100% native american M-dogg....if you were you wouldn't be calling yourself native to america and mexico....you try to belittle someone else for being ignorant but your ignorant yourself....if you were a true Native american you would have no mexican roots....if you were a true native mexican you'd be living in southern/central mexico right now and you'd look alot different ....you have ZEREO resemblences to TRUE BLUE native americans and their characteristics....you're just a watered down spanish/aztec mexican llike almost every other hispanic living in america.
now back to the topic at hand.....
i believe in what trauma said ....no not every culture is equal....that is so fucking retarded to think that all cultures are equal (culture meaning way of life and here's the key .....dominance to others)
however all people are equal , i'm no more special in theory than some zulu african
tommyilromano:
OK, you like Native American culture, great, but just because you like it doesn't mean it is equal to Western culture. The Indians in the Americas never stood a chance against the Europeans because there ways were inferior. Western man advanced while the Indians did not. I mean Cortez conquered the entire Aztec empire with like 200 people! Every culture has good qualities but no civilization put everything together like the West. This was due to the highly competitive nature of Europe and the fact that no one nation dominated. Yes, there were countries stronger than others but there was always balance in Europe where most other places there was only one game in town. I am not saying Europeans as individuals are superior but the culture is. What happened to the Indians is sad but La vita non e tutta rosa.
