Jonah GoldbergHOST
And white Europeans are barbaric, horrible things.
Jonah GoldbergHOST
Look at the incredible harmony of indigenous people in the Americas, right? Look at the incredible harmony of the Iroquois or the Plains Indian and all that kind of thing.
Jonah GoldbergHOST
And this stuff, it's just Rousseauian noble savage stuff with a slight sort of identity politics anti-white tinge to it.
Jonah GoldbergHOST
But there is no evidence as far as I know that, I mean, maybe there's some specific tribe that had figured some, you know, modus vivendi that I am unaware of.
Willie GeorgeGUEST
This is funny to me.
Willie GeorgeGUEST
Out on the Bison Plains in Kansas, Nebraska, honeybees would show up in the teepees and of the Plains Indians.
Willie GeorgeGUEST
And they would laugh about it and they called the honeybee the white man's fly because they didn't have honeybees before the farmers came.
Willie GeorgeGUEST
But when the honeybees started showing up in the teepees, they know that 100 miles or so from here, there's some white farmer somewhere plowing up the ground and they're headed our way.
Denise LowGUEST
And then the second thing I'm working on is an extension of the research I did for House of Grace, House of Blood, which evolved into finding petroglyphs in the area where my family lived in New Jersey.
Denise LowGUEST
And because I have a background in Plains Indian art and a publication from the University of Nebraska Press of Northern Cheyenne ledger art from the Fort Robinson breakout, I'm able to understand those petroglyphs a little bit more.
Denise LowGUEST
And I really see them as an indigenous form of literacy.
Denise LowGUEST
It's not alphabetic.

He said, well, they told him the story was that she was some lady, like a pioneer type lady, that her family and her were like massacred by Plains Indians back in the day.
Robert O. BowersGUEST
And she like haunts that area.
Robert O. BowersGUEST
And on like still nights out in that area, you can hear her out there on the prairie moaning.

Even upstairs or in the lobby where it looks like a swastika that came from some middle American Indian tribe.

Tell a Plains Indian that he has failed to steal horses from the neighboring tribe or tell a man living in bourgeois society that he has failed to pay his bills at the neighboring grocer's and the results are the same.
