Just land? What about horses? Their Native American females?
Are you implying that people can be owned?

That would only have to be derived from land ownership - which the Natives claim they have no concept of. A loan implies ownership .... :roll:

Who was the person made famous by the phrase "I will fight no more forever" ?

Yep.
Yep.
Traditions of Native American slavery
Many Native American tribes did practice some form of slavery before the European introduction of African slavery into North America; but none exploited slave labor on a large scale.[1]
Native American groups frequently enslaved war captives whom they primarily used for small-scale labor.[1] Some, however, were used in ritual sacrifice.[1] Although not much is known about them, there is little evidence that these slaves were considered racially inferior to the Native Americans who held power over them.[1] Nor did Native Americans buy and sell captives in the pre-colonial era, although they sometimes exchanged enslaved individuals with other tribes in peace gestures or in exchange for their own members.[1] In fact, the word "slave" may not even accurately apply to these captive people.[1] Most of these so-called Native American slaves tended to live on the fringes of Native American society and were slowly integrated into the tribe.[1]
People have been owned.. People today are being owned even in USA. People will always be owned till end of time..
Is it wrong? Yes!
Do people always do right thing??? what's your answer to that??
Chief Joseph. And?
Someone just doesn't get it. Native Americans revered the land, particularly because it contained the bones of their ancestors. They saw the encroachment of white people onto it as a sign of disrespect. So, it was tit for tat: they showed disrespect to the white people by having some of them as slaves.
Did he learn the hard way not to try and invade the colonies?
And on the flip side, someone does not get that the colonists were protecting their way of life.
And on the flip side, someone does not get that the colonists were protecting their way of life. Like the expression goes "All is fair in love and war". And .. "to the victor go the spoils". Do you honestly believe that if the Native Americans had won, that there would be no slavery today?
Plymouth Rock was not an act of war - initially, the colonists were friendly with the Native Americans. It became a conflict in culture erupting into a full scale war. And, in war, you fight to win or get out.
The colonists sure had an overblown sense of entitlement, wouldn't you say?
Remind you of anything today??
"Protecting" - give me a break. They invaded.
Native American Clashes with European Settlers
Nope - the original intent was to trade - and they did so peacefully until the formation of the 6 nations (who wanted to dominate the trade by force). :roll:

There is the issue of "legal immigration" you are purposefully (?) not addressing. There is a "legal" way for foreigners to become citizens of the U.S.
Those that cross into our border without doing it "legally" are criminals. Criminals break into people's houses and take things that do not belong to them and think it is their "right".
That is exactly what illegals are doing to our country.
