youtube.com/watch?v=S4gU2Tsv6h just saw this video about the Iroquois (aka Haudenosuanee) Confederacy and. Suddenly I really want to learn a lot more about the history of native north americans and their governments and all that stuff because this is all fascinating and why did we not learn this stuff in school

Follow

seriously, primary and secondary school education should have a LOT more information about native american culture and government and stuff because the impression people get coming out of it is that the native americans were some sort of wild people with no government to speak of and that's not even close to true
