Hmmmmm, sounds familiar. Welcome the new comers as friends and then the take over begins. I'm not sure you need to worry about any communicable disease wiping out your family and community or that later you'll be sold to some far off country as an indentured slave, however. In fact, you probably don't have to worry about anything at all except the fact that Trump is running for Prez or keeping tabs on when the next blood moon eclipse will occur. From: "awoelflebater@...

How about the resistance of Europeans to the invading Mongol hoards or the Indian resistance to the Mogals that threatened the destruction of the Vedic civilization? Hmmmmmm? If we don't learn from our mistakes, we are doomed to repeat them and history has a tendency to repeat it's self. But then you might invoke Karma. We get what we deserve. We screwed them, now it' our turn to get screwed. I then counter , are you ready to put that Burqa on? Here is a small excerpt about the early days between Native tribes and British immigrants: Wampanoag and the English: 1621-1676 When thePilgrim Fathers http://www.historyworld.net/wrldhis/PlainTextHistories.asp?gtrack=pthc&ParagraphID=itu#itu are struggling through their first winter on American soil, from December 1620, they see no sign of any Indians. The reason, they later discover, is that the local tribes have recently been wiped out by a European epidemic. This news reaches them in March 1621, when they are visited by Wampanoag Indians. Living some forty miles away, they are leaders of anotherAlgonquian http://www.historyworld.net/wrldhis/PlainTextHistories.asp?gtrack=pthc&ParagraphID=iud#iudconfederacy. The Wampanoag are friendly. Their territory is not threatened by this small English group. The Indians help the settlers with their agriculture, and join them in their celebration ofThanksgiving http://www.historyworld.net/wrldhis/PlainTextHistories.asp?historyid=155. The Wampanoag chieftain, Massasoit, makes a treaty of friendship which holds good for forty years, until his death in 1662. During that periodPlymouth http://www.historyworld.net/wrldhis/PlainTextHistories.asp?gtrack=pthc&ParagraphID=itu#itu and the later English colonies thrive. The main effect of Massasoit's peaceful policy is that his tribal lands are steadily whittled away in the face of ever-increasing demands from the newcomers. By the time Massasoit dies, there are some 40,000 English settlers in New England http://www.historyworld.net/wrldhis/PlainTextHistories.asp?gtrack=pthc&ParagraphID=itz#itz. They outnumber the Indian population by perhaps two to one. Indians find themselves working for the settlers as labourers or domestic servants. They are expected to behave according to Puritan standards, and are punished for following their own traditions. Massasoit's son, Metacom, decides that the only hope is a joint uprising by the Indian tribes of New England. It begins with devastating suddenness in 1675. Of ninety colonial settlements, fifty-two are attacked and many of them burned to the ground. The chaos spreads throughout New England, but eventually English fire-power proves too strong. By the summer of 1676 English deaths number about 600. The Indian figure is at least five times as large. And hundreds of Indians have been shipped to the West Indies for sale as slaves.
