If we are celebrating genocide, why don't we have turkey and parades on Wounded Knee Day or Fallen Timbers Day? Since Indian braves were warriors, and really good ones, they gave as good as they got in the struggle for the continent. It was a war, and they lost because the Europeans and then the Americans just kept on comin'. But there are still Native Americans living on soveriegn reservation lands, so they didn't lose everything. Virtually all Americans agree that the Indians got a rough deal, so they give them money in their casinos.
