Gateway Pundit has a bit on anti-Columbus Day protesters in Colorado. You know "the evil white man destroyed the noble Indians and we therefor wish to atone for the sins of our ancestors" types. Have I got news for them.
The Indians fought wars with each other all the time for territory.

In our modern times there are those that would wish to forget that warfare existed in the Americas before the second wave of Europeans. Not just written in stone and the remains of those cultures past, but also recorded by the first missionaries of wave two. That is how we learn of the horrific war practiced between the Iroquois and Huron. And as the Mohawks proved to be fierce over generations, so did that war have one end and one peoples gone. Not due to the white man was that genocide. We best not idolize a past red with blood all the way around, lest that blood creep up on us from unexpected quarter.
