Just how far back in the mists of time do we need to go to satisfy
everyone? European treatment of Amer-Indians and Africans was a horrid
moral abyss ... for which we *all* still pay the price. But Amer-Indian
treatment of each other was no picnic either. The point is that we can
only act morally in our *own* behavior.

Horrid it may have been, but it was not in any way unusual, save that they
were not always systematically exterminated or enslaved/absorbed, as was the
normal case. In that normal, we may include the Amerinds themselves, as
noted. Where are the Anasazi, the Mississippians or the Pueblo builders?
