There's another book called Bury My Heart and Wounded Knee, a native history of the United States.

Yeah, that's if you just want to start at where basically the entirety of the pioneer frontier views natives as untrustworthy murderers, rapists and liars who now it was that fair and all. Of course not.

Very my heart of wounded knee is like these like really nice native tribes were just hanging out and we kept making treaties and stealing their land.

And there was yeah, well, I mean, the Comanche, as soon as they got weapons from the French traders, you know, guns and metal weapons, they tried to kill as many of their competitor tribes as they could as fast as they couldn't take their land.

Like one of my critiques of bury my heart at wounded knee is that it's just it's a recitation of 400 years of native military defeats.
