Must-read links for the evening.

[livejournal.com profile] sanguinity has been posting an anvilicious series of lists of Things that American Indians have Contributed to the World: here, here, and with more presumably to come.

But seriously, read those posts. Just do it. Read them. Especially that second one.

And here, have a free whack upside the head with the Clue Bat - in musical form.

Yeah, I got nothing from American schools. The AP history I took was European, American wasn't offered.

I think mostly we were taught about treaties, and the schools where they tried to erase their cultural identity. A lot of emphasis was made on Cherokee Indians, due to their being local to NC, and the Trial of Tears.
