Did the fool think that all the Native American tribes (native in the sense that they defeated whoever was on the land before them or claimed unconquered land themselves) were peaceful folk who lived off the land and got along will all others until those evil white people came and took over everything with the savageness that only unmelanated people can muster?
Not only that but they had no concept of land ownership (or so we are told) but today they think it was rightfully theirs. We like your white sense of ownership but not you whites.
They actually did have a concept of land ownership though, didn't they? After all, the tribes had territories even before the Europeans came, they went to war with each other and fought over access to territory. Even within some tribes individuals or families had rights to certain areas - a family might own a tree and the produce from that tree was theirs, or sections of land for a garden or part of a river was the property of a certain person or family. Not all tribes had the same setup, and it wasn't exactly the same as Europeans thought of as owning a piece of land, but they did understand having the rights to certain territory.
They've already scrubbed from history how some Native American tribes were cannibalistic. They now claim it was an old wives tale. But the fact is when whitey got here, they treated the natives like savages because they were indeed acting like savages.

They sang "The Colors Of The Wind" all day and ate Pow Wow Chow for supper
