[MD] an attempt at sharing good idea

[MarshaV]

I recently watched PBS 'American Experience: 'We Shall Remain': 

"With depth, breadth and richness, Native American history is told 
through indigenous eyes in this revolutionary five-part docudrama. 
Exploring five pivotal periods, the series spans 300 years of Indian 
adversity, resilience and self-determination. Benjamin Bratt narrates 
the sweeping series as it reexamines a cornerstone of America's 
story and offers insight into how history's heartbreak and hope 
resonate with American Indians today."

It never was strictly whites against the native people.  When there
was an advantage it would be whites with some tribes against other 
tribes.  Or whites with some parts of a tribe against other parts of a
tribe.  But, of course, in all the what the whites did to the native 
people was genocide in the pursuit of property.  

It was a mess.  It's still a mess.
