America a christian nation?

Native-americans were horribly treated... much as indigenous peoples everywhere were treated by conquering powers.

Agreed.

That said, I don't think their folklore is any more reliable than any other and oral or written does not matter. Such tales serve the needs of the authors.

All emotion and personal experience aside. I've personally read manuscripts from the past 1,100 years (13 generations) of my direct forefathers, and without exception the accounts are perfectly matched without fault or alteration. The same cannot be said for most other traditions, and especially Christianity.

I'm not looking for debate, nor do I ask for sympathy. My purpose here is a peaceful one, and if my presentation of what my people call history is offensive, then perhaps the dissidence lies deeper.

I'm saying that I trust my fathers more than I trust their arbiters, and for well documented historical reasons.

But..if you have incontrovertible proof that part of our history is being portrayed horribly inaccurately.. then you should publish or make that information public since it would help us get closer to a true representation of our country's history..
