In respect for Jim, Bob and all the rest, maybe you could add some venison
to your dinners.

Have a good one.

Our Thanksgiving was last month ;)

And the origin of Thanksgiving was to celebrate the killing of native
Indians
so why is it a happy day?

That's Native Americans. Indians are from India. I was aware of this.
Your point? Eat up my friend.

Enjoy The dinner. When are people gonna stop blaming people for

I've asked that very question many times, and always get the race card
pulled. Which is quite humorous, considering I'm 25% American Indian.

Hey Steve I just learned that the term "Indian" originated from
Columbus when he landed here. Originally he thought he was in India
which is why he thought Native Americans were Indians which they are
not. In other word Columbus was lost and didn't know the difference
between an Indian and a Native American. So actually you are 25%
native American. Indians are in India. Nice to be married to a
Historian.

Mike, please do inform her that they could not have been "Native Americans"
when Columbus landed, because "America" did not exist(in name).... she ,
being a Historian, should be aware of this....

Thats what you get when people are ripped off.....they tend not to
forget and pass that hatred down the generations.

I'd be grumbling to the grandkids if I was kicked off my land and others
moved onto it.......

Just curious..... are the indigenous people in NZ cool with the European
occupation or were there any there when the Europeans found it?

The original inhabitants were the 'Mori Ori', but when the Maori arrived
from Hawaii, they killed and ate them.

The early Europeans were whalers and lived with the Maori, mainly up
North. The phrase 'Hell Hole of the pacific', was used to describe
'Russell' in the bay of islands.(Where my ancestors arrived in the 1830's)

As more settlers arrived, so did 'The NZ company' who brought up land
and on-sold it to the settlers. The only problem was that a lot of the
best land (that the Maori weren't selling) was in high demand, so the
company would do dodgey deals and pay a distant relative for land he
didn't own,to gain title, then kick off the Maori living there.
The reaction to this underhand dealing was the first of the land
wars....The 'Treaty of Waitangi' was signed and the war stopped.....but
the govt. confiscated a lot more 'prime' land from the tribes who fought
against the govt.....This led to (you guessed it) the second 'land war'.
As the Maori weren't one big happy tribe (they ate each other), the
govt. had tribe vs. tribe fighting going on.

Fast forward to now, the govt. is still paying lump sum (millions of
dollars) payouts to cover 'land confiscation' claims....a real gravey
train for the greivance industry, but their land was stolen, and the
govt. is doing it's best to right the wrongs. We have a few 'radicals'
who go with the 'whitey go home' slogans, but the majority of Maori are
just ordinary people. They still hold their tribal status, but work as
one now.

I went up to the Maori Queens funeral a few months back.....an
impressive display with three 'waka' (war canoes holding up to 50
people) bring the casket down the river. They were greeted by hundreds
of 'warriors' doing a haka (war dance) that sent shivers down my spine.

I'm quite certain land ownership by deed of her majestry the queen was an
entirely foreign concept. (Har har.) Imagine the folks who "sold" Manhattan
for a few trinkets. "You want to *pay* *me* to camp here for a few nights,
or seasons? Sure, why not." And the rest is history. Now, taking it by force
of arms over a mountain of scalps is something they understand. Which raises
the question, what's all the fuss out west?

Exactly my point. The fact is Americas traditions are under attack.
From the Holidays to marriage\family values. It seems certain people
always have to bring up some lame excuse to rain on our parade.  The
way i look at it is if these people don't like what is happening in
America they can just get the heck out. They sound like whining
Europeans.

Many years ago i traveled extensively in Asia. I thoroughly enjoyed
my experience, the people that i met, all of the cool things that i saw and
was able to do. Upon returning to the US only then did i realize that
this country really is a great place. This country just gives you that edge,
the ability to accomplish things-to succeed like no other.

No other country can touch the US.

And i agree- quit trying to change my countries values and traditions
to suit someone else ideology-I like it just the way it is.

I like it the way it is but in reality I like it the way it was.  I am
45 years old. It is a different world today versus say 30 years ago.
That all said the US is still the best place on the planet to live and
I feel very fortunate to be an American.
