Prior to European contact, the Native American population is estimated to have been in the millions. But 1880, the population had been severely impacted by genocide[citation needed], warfare and disease brought by the colonists.

:wut:

:germany-cool:

Question for people who are smarter than me: Can you reenact someone elses culture without it being cringe and under what circumstances?

I don’t think this is an exclusively German thing, or right wing thing oddly. I remember reading about left groups in Italy and France who’d name themselves after Indian tribes and dress up as them. They kind of put a left spin on it because they were LARPing as “primitive communists resisting imperialism” or some shit.

Still pretty fucking cringe.
