I don't think we talk enough about how we shoved Native Americans off their land in the eastern United States. Many of the Midwest tribes we talk about were originally east coast tribes. I know we've all heard to joke that the Lenape sold Manhattan Island to the Dutch for $24, but really they sold it for around $1,150. Still not a great deal for the Lenape.
One thing I like is the mean, sneaky-pete looks on the white colonizer's faces. What I don't like is that is implies the sale only happened because a woman said to take it. This is some Adam & Eve Biblical bullshit.
I should look more at kid meals when I just want a little snack. I know a lot of old people who just order kid meals. These old people are definitely onto something.
Although I disagree with the toy. They suck now. Cardboard pieces of crap most of the time.
