British settlers and their descendants kill millions of native Americans - Not to worry, it's the natural order of things.
I don’t think it was so much the settlers as it was infectious disease and cheap whisky and rum.
In any case though I think the Natives tended to fair somewhat better under the French as overlords than any of the other European powers.

By the way, I think the holiday should be called ‘Columbus Meets Indigenous Peoples Day’. Historically accurate and everybody gets a shout out.
Except for Leif Erikson. Instead of the Native American brinksmanship and in-fighting or the European slave trade, all he wanted to do in North America was get wasted.
And still he gets left out. Our values suck.
Please love yourself.

Whenever I hear the name I always think people are talking about a Scandinavian heavy metal guitarist.
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

Just be thankful his name wasn’t Ywngie Malmsteen.

They weren’t colonizers, just undocumented migrants.

Were the OG Leif Wrikson around today that's entirely what he'd be doing.
