Indian Chief, 'Two Eagles,' was asked by a white government official, 'You have observed the white man for 90 years. You've seen his wars and his technological advances. You've seen his progress, and the damage he's done.'
The Chief nodded in agreement.

The official continued, 'Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong?'

The Chief stared at the government official for over a minute and then calmly replied. 'When white man find land, Indians running it. No taxes, No debt, Plenty buffalo, Plenty beaver, Clean Water; Women did all the work, Medicine man free. Indian man spend all day hunting and fishing; All night having sex.'

Then the chief leaned back and smiled. 'Only white man dumb enough to think he can improve system like that.'

Sounds like "Plenty of Beaver" is the best part.

Chief's son ask his father one night while they were sitting around the campfire "Father, how do you pick our names?"

His Father answered "Son, when we had your older brother I saw a white buffalo while I was making love to your mother, so we named your older brother White Buffalo. When we had your older sister I saw a running doe while I was making love to your mother so we named her "Running Doe."

Last way I heard this one, the kid's name was "Two Dogs Fucking".

I laughed my ass off at that, for more than one reason. First of all, it is funny. Second, that fictional chief is absolutely right.

For all our complexities, we have only made the world a worse place for everyone to live in.

I detect a bit of clever, precision-launched sarcasm in this post. The chief part makes it even better.:rofl: Native American jokes being a part of the thread, and all that.

You know? That's something else. It doesn't bother me to call them Native Americans, or by their tribe if they prefer it. Not because they ARE Native Americans, but rather, because they AREN'T bloody Indians. I could go with red, but they aren't really red, in the end. Being identified by tribe would be choice, but tribe isn't going to be apparent enough to everyone else for it to be used as identification.

I'm not irritated at all by calling them Indians, but that's because we have been doing it for so long, it kind of caught, even with me. It's not really all that accurate, though, that's my point. Not very descriptive, either. Every time you say it, you have to qualify it with something like not the India Indians, but the Native American Indians. Terribly inefficient, that.

Cheers,

Kennith

I understand the gist of this joke but all you need to do is a little genealogical research to understand how much better off we are today. Epidemics took a large toll on families. There is a reason families were started early and were large. Same for Native Americans. Most, probably 99%+ of Native Americans, are much better off today.

How many have you asked? LOL. Being hunted down and rid of the land like the Jews of WWII is certainly "better off".

Next you are going to tell me Andrew Jackson was a good human being. The man was nothing short of a liar, murderer and thief and was very much part of destroying the Indian culture of the past.

I'd like what you're smoking.

The epidemics didn't select by race, tribe or heritage. The only factor was isolation and distance, which was not a constant even between Indian tribes.

Could be distance, say from Europe to the Americas. With no natural immunities smallpox is a bitch.

Ahh, but I tend to disagree even here. Life was shorter, and sure there was a higher chance that sickness would kill you. I understand your point. But I reject it, as nature kills for a good reason. There never should have been this many people in the first place.

Or perhaps there should have been, as humans are a natural process. In that case, nature made one hell of a mistake. Who here thinks we will ever make it to that golden Star Trek age of enlightenment?

-crickets-

I thought as much. What then, was the point?
