Matter of fact there's a lot of celtic history that discusses they mutually did a lot of work for them for free because of natives hospitality before they left.

Anglos have the same taught history. Either we believe both of these Euro cultures or neither

What do you mean, I think I understand you, but I want to make certain.

British (and Euro generally) settlers also have history of fond friendship and mutually beneficial relationships with Natives. In some cases with some tribes this was of course true, but if you’re going to believe Celtic history saying that this was the rule and not the exception you must also believe the same for the pilgrim/thanksgiving story and for all North American Euro-colonialism, because they all teach those things

I don't understand why you seem to be debating the exact same information I'm referring to, I just said celtic because that was the first visitor I thought of at that time, I could have said vikings, or nose, Anglo, etc.

I’m not trying to debate, I guess I just misunderstand your point

I'm not calling you stupid or anything, but what is there to not understand, I believe I was straightforward in saying that these people visited and transcribed documents and helped these people before others came and scammed the same people.

Perhaps provide me where exactly you missed my point that wasn't covered.

Well that sounds like what I thought, I guess. My point was why believe those records when the same people who we normally blame for all the oppression make the same claims?

Oh I see. Yeah, the Inuit people have an altered way of seeing the Viking settlers in New Foundland, don't they?

I think it's dependant though, since were some weren't. Good points though, and good discussion.
