You know who also loved a bunch of idyllic myths about Native Americans? Inter-war and Nazi-era Germans. Wild stuff, right?

Two good books on indigenous history:

The Other Slavery: The Uncovered Story of Indian Enslavement in America by Andrés Reséndez

An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz

Indigenous people in what’s now the US were enslaved (and exported to the Caribbean) by the English. Let’s not forget this either. https://www.npr.org/2016/06/21/482874478/forgotten-history-how-the-new-england-colonists-embraced-the-slave-trade

Let’s also not forget the thousands upon thousands of indigenous people in Central and South America and the Caribbean who were enslaved by the Spanish. It wasn’t just “germs” that killed them. It was the process of colonial violence, dispossession, enslavement, and resource extraction, in conjunction with Eurasian diseases. This is a very good paper debunking the “virgin soils” theory that’s been promoted by people like Jared Diamond and Alfred Crosby. https://www.jstor.org/stable/3491697#metadata_info_tab_contents

The logical conclusion to this thread is that Elizabeth Warren is a slave owner.
