Let me think - that's a hard one - umm, umm, umm. I think every native
American was innocent until the white man came and began robbing them,
then
killing them. Do you suggest that when the American Indian began to fight
back they stopped being innocent and then as a whole became guilty and
worthy of extermination? Genocide in today's parlance.

The Indians were here first.

They had no effective weapons, and the new settlers out-numbered them 1000
to 1.

They lost the land. It's called "conquest."

They'll get over it. My people did.

Yours probably did, too.
