>In December 1609, Ratcliffe and 14 fellow colonists were invited to a gathering with the tribe of Powhatan Indians. The Powhatans promised the starving colonists would be given corn, but it was a trap. The colonists were ambushed. Ratcliffe suffered a particular gruesome fate: Ratcliffe was tied to a stake in front of a fire. Women removed the skin from his entire body with mussel shells and tossed the pieces into the flame as he watched. They skinned his face last and finally burned him at stake.

But Ratcliff is alive. He starred in a movie about a farting corpse.

Yeah for various reasons people think Native Americans were all peace-loving proto-hippies, even though reality is quite different. For start Native Americans were shitload of tribes and nations. Some were cool, some were violent savages who deserved everything they got.

I am curious what those reasons are because most movies depict them fighting either each other or white people (or both), and we learned about them fighting each other and white men in school (and I went to school in a blue state).

its a trope and a cliche all on it's own, it's called the Noble Savage.

Yeah, and I bet most people never paid attention to class, and just assume any negative media portrayal is racist
