    Why are there no documentaries regarding the how destructive native americans were to each other, they are presented in such a politically correct way, as peace loving people who were immune to violence against other Indians?

      Yeah too bad we can’t call them savages and take their children away anymore. Oh, the good old days…It is interesting that their violence against each other, that lasted hundreds of years, was not able to decimate their population in the way that Europeans were able to do over a generation. But the issue here is the film makers deception. Not genocide. Let’s make sure to get that priority perfectly clear.
