You're being pretty selective in what you respond to.
Well, you're selective in what you claim. Big, broad brush strokes.

If any tribe should be painted that way it's the Comanche. They embodied everything bad about humans.
You and reality mix like oil and water.
"Little victim"? Maybe you should read back through the thread.
My entire point is, the indigenous peoples were NOT "one culture". There were many, many cultures.
And I used the comanches to point out that they in fact, did NOT kill their horses, as you had claimed in your broad brush/no actual factual details post.
I know on the internet everyone expects people to just sing one note, one song, and not express things from different perspectives. If you don't like reading people who post things from different, often opposing, perspectives in a conversation then skip my posts please.

Yet again, I did not say the Comanche killed their horses. You're really struggling with your comprehension here.
The horse species I'm referring to pre-date the Comanche tribe entirely. Go back and read what I typed.
They are NOT indigenous peoples.
We are well aware there were many different tribes who lived here over a very long period and underwent many changes throughout their history.
What am I saying that's not factual? I'm trying to help you get a realistic look at history. History doesn't care if you find facts offensive.
I don't have rose colored glasses at ALL. I've been maintaining in this thread, that there were warrior tribes, and peaceful tribes.
The Comanches were about as "warrior" as you can get, but they didn't murder their horses.
They dang sure ate them. And still do. lol.
Killing all your enemies horses, except a very few that caught someone's eye, was a very effective way to hobble one's enemy. In my area I could show you where whole herds of an enemy's horses were run off cliffs.
But I won't because I'm offended by those who de-humanize native Americans.

Clara is responding to something that was never said. I can only correct her so many times.
