Not destroying your environment does make you morally superior.

And the is a lot of written stuff about their beliefs. Just not from themselves.

Because the European immigrants exterminated them for most parts very quickly obviously you can't read all about their beliefs but you can at least read something.

This presupposes you want to.

Not doing something you have no power to do is not a reflection of your character.

The environmental argument stands anyway.

They raped and destroyed the environment every time they got the chance. And why wouldn't they? Humans are a destructive force towards Mother Nature. They grow out of control, like a bacteria on a petri dish, until they consume all available food and then starve. Only reason that didn't happen to us is because of our amazing technology that keeps feeding us.

    They're not called "Indians", they are Native Americans. That's a racist term. Pretty much cements the idea that your idea of these stone age peoples is frozen half a century in the past or more.

    I get told by people it's racist to call them red, even though I first heard that term from a Native. Some of them aren't so emotionally weak to get upset over what white folks call them, unlike some other races.
