Can you quote the part of the article where they say there was no difference in evaluations after controlling for attrition? Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but I do not see that claim anywhere in the article. What I see are claims that: 1

All you've done here is to repeat lies and propaganda popularized back then. You would need to explain why so many parts of the US Constitution are based on Iroquois Confederacy law if Native Americans are so barbaric. And you'd n
