When you say Indians, when referring to a land filled with many, many tribes, it would seem ignorant to suggest this is all Indians. You call me stereo-typing, yet you are accumulating all Native Americans as one when using the term "Indian".
Not all tribes were fighting, and yes, there were many blood-thirsty tribes, which even killed many of the first settlers. And we did win the fight against them, and there are still those peaceful tribes which obviously do not count in the war, so it would be ignorant of you to suggest they do.
You are part Native American, you say, so I can understand your ignorance, but I already told you I am part Native American. Seriously, use your common sense.

Um, I'm 1/16 Native American. Sitting Bull was the chief of the tribe, I never said I was his descendent, although it is possible. It's the Sioux tribe if you must know

For some reason I beleive you. At the same time I feel you are sadly misinformed about our ppl. I say our ppl because there was a time when the tribes were one, which is how it should be.
Oh, god I sound like my uncle!
