Thank you Whitefeather. That was a shameful time in our history. We can only hope and pray that mankind will never repeat such cruel mistakes against each other.

The Europeans called the American aborigines redskins or “peaux-rouges†because of the reddish ochre (crushed hematite) paint they wore. It had nothing to do with their skin color. If you look at excavations of most Eastern aboriginal villages you will find that hematite was collected and ground down for pigments.

Hi Glassman Yep they did, the Native were very extreme too, it was a brutal time my understanding the red color was from the "bloodly' red skin hence "redskins". But even if it is not what is some Native tell this story, that is true and it does have an effect on people.There are many words that are not nice in origin, many and many do not know this either.Again I was writing this to share info.You don't have to believe what I write! Does not mean it is not true.[] You all enjoy the weekend, I am.

AMAZING WHAT WE DO TO EACH OTHER ,BECAUSE "THEY ARE NOT LIKE US"! JAMIE

 

[GuntherHess]

The majority of people then and now were neither really good or really bad, they were just like us trying to live and make a better life for thier families.
Unfortunately almost every time there has been a clash of cultures in the Earth's history someone ends up losing out. I'm not sure that problem will ever be resolved. It seems to be part of human nature.

Sirs

What you say is so true, It is something to speak of with care, love and kindness. I see both of these here on the forum.

Hello Everyone, Now that we have read the serious side of the Redskin posts; now the amusing part. As a child we all watched the cowboy and Indians (Redskins), About 5 years ago I found out that I had been sleeping with a squaw for the past 40 years. My wife's great-grandmother was a full blooded Cherokee and now my wife and boys are registered with the Cherokee Indian Nation. I couldn't have asked nor gotten a better one Thanks, Dean
