Yes.

But also, I never said helpless foragers. The messaging on Americas indigenous peoples is that they are "strong and have potential" but that they were "naturally dominated by superior culture and knowledge". That they were here doing mostly nothing with all this land, and so it's right that it was taken. The saying goes "kill the Indian, save the man."

Were you taught about continent spanning cultures and trade, heavy building, cities, intercontinental trade, farming, etc? Were you taught that the forests were purposefully grown, the herds intentionally tended, or just that it was an Eden and the strong people lived in it? Do you know anything of the languages or knowledge of the specific people who's land you are on?
