Tribes. Conflict. Conquered.
People might be conquered, but the life philosofy of those people live in modern freedom movementsI. I am not sure that a tribe is a right label for a non-hierarchical society consisting of millions of individuals.
Native Americans never consisted of millions of people. Tribes were relatively small and in frequent conflict. My point is that tribal societies eventually succumb to more organized ones and usually don’t have as peachy of a life as some imagine.
Take that into modern times with modern tech and you’d have an even tougher time staying around unless protected by some agreement with another nation state strong enough to defend you.
Well the antroplogical evidence that DG presents in his book suggest otherwise. Either read it or don't, no point arguing about something you don't know the content off.
Evidence of what? I need to read a book to know Native Americans didn’t number in millions? Huh?
Yes. You asked a question and I thought you geniunly wanted to find some evidence of that. It seems that is not the case. The book contains lots of interesting examples based on anthropological research. One of them is about the societal organisation of native Americans, and how what we have been thought in schools is mostly a misconception.
