Indians Fighting Indians

| Hello, I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance. | |
| If you ever get into a debate about immigration and say you want whites to remain a majority in the United States, someone will tell you that white people don't really have a right to America because we took it from the Indians. | |
| Let me explain just how stupid this argument is. | |
| First of all, does anyone think the Indians didn't take land away from each other or simply exterminate each other? | |
| There's a place in South Dakota In the mid-1300s, | |
| long before Columbus. | |
| When white people showed up, They found that Indian tribes were battling each other constantly. | |
| The French explorer Pierre Lavanderdry was one of the first Europeans to learn about the Assiniboine Cree and the Sioux. | |
| In 1743, he reported that, quote, from time immemorial they have been deadly enemies. | |
| A French priest wrote about a battle in 1742 in which the Assiniboine Cree killed or captured 270 Sioux. | |
| That would have been the population of an entire village. | |
| At about the same time, the Crow Indians drove the original Indian settlers out of the Yellowstone Valley. | |
| It's a pleasant place, as you can see. | |
| And they found themselves surrounded by hostile tribes. | |
| As the years went by, they would very likely have been exterminated, except that they had an alliance with, guess who? | |
| It was the U.S. cavalry who protected them from their enemies. | |
| The Muscogee and the Choctaw had a land dispute and in 1790 slaughtered nearly 500 of each other in a single battle. | |
| Also in the 18th century, the Blackfoot tribe took the land of the Kootenai and the Flathead Indians and part of the Shoshone lands at the foot of the Rockies. | |
| In arid parts of the southwest, the Hopi and the Zuni fought each other over arable land. | |
| As for the Comanche, After they got horses, they drove the Osage, the Cheyenne, and the Arapaho out of their hunting grounds. | |
| During the Civil War, the Comanche pushed white settlers in Texas 100 miles back to the east. | |
| They raided as far as 400 miles into Mexico, where they took thousands of slaves. | |
| Parts of northern Mexico were almost completely depopulated because of Comanche raids. | |
| But let's get back to the Sioux. | |
| They called themselves Lakota. | |
| which means allies. | |
| Other tribes called them Sioux, a name the Ojibwa first gave them, which means snakes or enemies. | |
| They were originally from the Great Lakes, but were pushed west by the Ojibwa and the Cree. | |
| Over a period of 200 years, they fought at least 28 different tribes and drove the following people off their land: the Pawnee, the Ponca, the Arikara, Iowa, Mandan, Hidatsa, | |
| Assiniboine, and the Crow. | |
| The Sioux lands recognized in an 1868 treaty with the U.S. government, which you can see in yellow, were all taken from other tribes who were there first. | |
| The biggest battles the Lakota Sioux fought against the U.S. Cavalry, including the Battle of the Little Bighorn, were over land that originally belonged to other Indians. | |
| Further west, in Montana, in 1866, the Pagan Indians killed more than 300 of their enemies, the Crow and the Grovantres, in just a single battle. | |
| This is more than the highest estimated casualty counts for Indians in any engagement with the U.S. Army. | |
| Did you know that after contact with whites in the 19th century, more Indians in the west died fighting each other than died fighting whites? | |

Indigenous Rights and Immigration

|
| I sure didn't until I started looking into this. | |
| So yes, we took the land from the Indians, and they fought like hell to keep it. | |
| But no one ever says the Indians didn't have the right to defend their land just because they took it from somebody else. | |
| No one says that. | |
| All around the world, people are living on land they took from other people. | |
| Does that mean they don't have rights to it? | |
| All of North Africa, for example, was conquered by the Arabs, who forced the locals to convert to Islam or die. | |
| Does that mean Morocco, for example, isn't allowed to have an immigration policy because the people living there now took the land from somebody else? | |
| European history is an endless story of conquest. | |
| Before the First World War, Hungary was three times bigger than it is today. | |
| It was officially carved up in 1920. | |
| So does that mean that the Slovaks, the Romanians, and the Croatians who helped themselves to huge chunks of Hungary can't have an immigration policy? | |
| And who's this guy? | |
| He's Augusto Piña Nieto, the president of Mexico. | |
| Take a good look. | |
| Does he look like this guy, for example? | |
| This is a real native Mexican. | |
| Here are more indigenous Mexicans. | |
| And here is the current Mexican cabinet. | |
| They don't look like native Mexicans either, do they? | |
| The guy who looks the most like a native Mexican is the one in the upper left-hand corner, Miguel... | |
| Chong. And the only reason he looks like an Aztec is because he's half Chinese. | |
| And here's President Peña Nieto with his wife, Angelica. | |
| Maybe I just can't see straight, but she doesn't look much like this lady, who is a Mexican Indian. | |
| Or these ladies, who are also indigenous. | |
| Could it possibly be that Mexico's rulers took Mexico from the Indians too? | |
| Oh, no, no, no. | |
| That would mean they couldn't have an immigration policy. | |
| But just see what happens to you if you try to immigrate illegally into Mexico. | |
| So you see, this idea that history disqualifies white Americans from deciding who lives here is baloney. | |
| It's an argument people use only against whites. | |
| It's just one more double standard intended to browbeat whites into thinking they have no right to survive as a people. | |
