I don’t think the Europeans necessarily destroyed ALL of their cultures per se (I suppose I should have worded it better in my post), but I do think the European influence did destroy the, for lack of a better word, “purity” of their cultures, which is what I am most interested in learning about. The cultures before European influence. We hear so much about their cultures after European contact that I would like to hear more about their cultures before European contact. Not to say that their modern cultures today are not fascinating in their own right, I was just hoping to learn something I haven’t already heard before.

Do you really believe that the Europeans destroyed “ALL” of the Native American cultures? I think the Navajo, Hopi, Apache, and Gila Indians in my state would disagree with that.

Comments on: Contact is important, but what about the other tens of thousands of years?
