So the Native Americans didn't rape anyone....they just kidnapped women from other tribes and "adopted" them into their families as wives.

The logical contortions some people will go through to paint Native Americans as "noble savages" and Europeans as the villains all the time is amazing.

I'm sure Thomas Jefferson thought Sally Hemings was one of the family too!
