Im not disputing one Indian nation warring against another. The Lakota & The Crow were traditional enemies. The Lakota drove the Cheyenne out of the black Hills. The Lakota were always at odds against the Pawnee. In the South the Apache, Comanche & Kiowa were always fighting each other. No doubt the Europeans were superior in their knowledge of commerce, free enterprise, etc., but what followed were countless atrocities. Indians were bribed with liquor & you still associate Indians being liquored up. Don't judge Phillips by his appearance alone. What do you expect a person to look like when they are subjected poor housing, no access to health care , limited income, limited education, etc., All they have left are their spiritual beliefs & what Nathan Phillips did proves what spiritual beliefs can accomplish. He didn't use a gun, didn't use the court system, had no documents, didn't even have to fire a warning shot.
