International Proletariat 14

Jade Finn: the native Americans were so differently and humanly civilized as compared to inhumanly civilized, barbaric invaders that they detested the idea of slavery and unfreedom and cared for the dignity of even the captured enemy.I am reminded of some heart touching account in "Bury My Heart at Wounded knee" by Dee Brown.

In one incident couple of Sioux youth killed and scalped couple of invaders on the tree and captured 2 women. The elders Assembly rebuked them for showing disrespect to the dead and capturing the women. They replied that it were the invaders who started scalping the killed natives and capturing and violating their women. They were told that if some one eats shit, would you too follow them?  They were asked to reach back the women to their in habitation, which they did and were killed by the white invaders.
