The Left loves to lump tribes from North, Central, and South America (both the ones still around and the ones that no longer exist) into one category regardless of their differences.
LEFTISTS; NATIVE AMERICANS OWNED SLAVES; INDIGENOUS PEOPLES WERE INNOCENT VICTIMS OF COLONIZERS; GERM THEORY WASN'T INVENTED UNTIL LONG AFTER COLUMBUS WAS DEAD, SO THE EUROPEANS COULD NOT HAVE KNOWN THAT BLANKETS WOULD GIVE THE NATIVES SMALLPOX; THE POWHATANS, AZTECS, MAYANS, AND INCAS PRACTICED HUMAN SACRIFICE; TRIBES BARTERED FOR GUNS SO THAT THEY COULD KILL OTHER NATIVES MORE EFFICIENTLY; NATIVE AMERICAN TRIBES TOOK SCALPS FROM THEIR SLAIN ENEMIES AND ATTACKED SETTLERS; NATIVE AMERICAN LAND WAS TAKEN FROM THE TRIBES THAT HAD PREVIOUSLY OWNED IT
