Hall of Famer
Native American "environmentalism" is one of the seemingly infinite cultural traits routinely venerated by modern history, modern media, modern cinema, etc. Their ability to "live with the land" as opposed to "living off the land" is trumpeted as "beautiful" and "harmonious"Â"¦and is always sharply contrasted against the supposedly greedy, unintelligent, wasteful, nefariously anti-environmental "white settlers."Â
This article reveals some tangible evidence suggesting that true Native American "environmentalism," like everything burned out of this Memory Hole society, was purged for a reason. American history ist die neue Lüge.
Some excerpts"¦
"The researchers' chemical analysis of the stalagmite pointed to a major change in the local ecosystem around 100 B.C., which piqued their interest because archaeologists had found evidence of a Native American community in the area about 2,000 years ago."Â
"Taken together, the researchers said, the evidence suggests that the Native Americans were clearing and burning the forest for agricultural purposes -- and pumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere all the while."Â
"They had achieved a pretty sophisticated level of living that I don't think people have fully appreciated," Gregory Springer, associate geology professor at Ohio University and lead author of the study, said in a press release. "They were very advanced, and they knew how to get the most out of the forests and landscapes they lived in."Â
"Native Americans may have changed the landscape in other ways that we tend not to imagine. For example, some suspect that the great roaming buffalo herds -- that symbol of the untamed West -- were largely a human creation. The inhabitants of the Great Plains would control the herds using fire, the theory goes, and stampede them off cliffs in order to harvest them."Â
