- goatlover 3y agoWhat if you told them that indigenous people pre-colonization sometimes built dams, dikes and aqueducts, and made use of irrigation?
- badpun 3y agoIndigenous people pre-colonization had in many cases pretty advanced civilizations going on, with decent-sized cities etc.
- glhaynes 3y agoA lot of those same people seem to treat indigenous people as outside of being touched by the "original sin" that the rest of us are.
- goatlover 3y agoThe original sin of farming, or hierarchy, or city dwelling. Problem is that the dividing line between our hunter-gatherer ancestors and civilization are murky and spread out over millennia, and across the planet in varying degrees.
