Los Angeles Times, 11/29/99 (or maybe the 30th).

Also, it's now well-documented that Native Americans had a huge hand in wiping out the beaver population in the Northeast, and that Western tribes killed buffalo en masse (e.g. driving them over a cliff) and left many carcasses to rot.

While I'm not saying that all tribes acted as callously, and while it's true that many tribes were and remain superior in their enviro practices to Western cultures, still, we can't romanticize THE AMERICAN INDIAN, nor disregard those of their practices, like the eagle-killing, which are abhorrent.
