EARLY AMERICAN HISTORY: WAS Re: Chief Illiniwek

Count Baldoni: Sweet Jesus have mercy on you Prods for the way you treated
those poor indians. Before you got past the mountains you were burning them
alive on the East Coast. You will not serve them liquer today.

BA: As an American familiar with early American history, having written some
myself, and well read in the subject matter, I have to say this sort of garbage
has no place on gen-medieval. The Indian story in America, past and present,
is no different than any other story: there is fact and there is this sort of absolute
gibberish.

A case could be made for for Native Americans being on-topic if you
are still within the medieval time period. In the case of Chief whats-
his-face, however, he is relatively recent & entirely fictitious - no
such "chief", no such person, no such nation.
