1840 Indian Rebirth

Chapter 96 [The Theory of Chinese People]

The relationship between the Pawnee people and the Apache people, how should I put it... Although it can't reach the point of being in love with each other, at least it is not the same.

How much hate?
Specifically, at a certain period when the hatred between the two clans was at its peak, they would even cook and eat the captive clan members of the other clan to show their hatred.

However, that was more than 100 years ago.Compared with the period when they ate each other's captives, the current relationship between the two clans has eased a lot.

And after entering the nineteenth century, the Pawnees and Apaches had a common enemy-the Arapaho, and the relationship was further eased.

Despite this, the relationship between the two clans is still tense. According to common sense, it is impossible for a Pawnee clan to defect to an Apache tribe.

But obviously, this is a poor Pawnee clan.They had just been attacked by the Cheyenne people and suffered heavy losses. There were only six or seventy people left in the whole clan.

And now it's winter again, the land in the northwest is white, everything is silent, no one is willing to help this poor little clan, even their brother clan.

They had no choice but to flee to Sleeping Bear, hoping that the Apache's Sky Children were as merciful as they were said to be.

The horse post accepted them.

"As long as there is enough food, the plain tribe is willing to accept all aborigines." Horse Whistle said to the chief of the Pawnee clan, "Of course the Pawnee tribe is no exception."

"We are extremely grateful, noble son of the sky, you are the most merciful person in the world!" Chief Pawnee, who had survived a desperate situation, could indeed be described as grateful at this time, kneeling on the ground and said.

Horse Whistle barely understood Pawnee, but he could also guess what Chief Pawnee was saying before he could translate in the rain.

Chief Pawnee repeatedly expressed his thanks.

At this time, the horse whistle said: "You can live and work in Sleeping Bear City, just like other residents... However, I also want to warn them that if you enter Sleeping Bear City, you are an Apache. Loyal to the Apache."

"You must never be a traitor, even if your former chief asked you to betray. There is only one end for traitors, and that is death. Do you understand?"

Turning all the natives into Apaches, something Horse Whistle knew would be difficult.But he has no other way, after all, there is no consensus among the various Indian tribes, and there is no father to recognize them in history.

Unlike the Eurasian continent, almost any country can find a powerful father from ancient books to recognize, whether it is relative or not, as long as there is some relationship, then they can use the name of father to shape identity or implement expansion.

But the Indians don't have it, and the Indians don't even have writing, so how can they recognize their father from ancient books, they can't recognize Great Britain or Spain.

Neither does using "Indians" to shape identity. "Indians" and "Indians" are the same word. Columbus regarded North America as India, so he called the natives of North America Indians.Horse Whistle doesn't want to be thought of as an Indian.

In fact, in the Americas of later generations, "Indians" was also regarded as an unfriendly term by the aborigines, and they basically would not call themselves this way.

The concept of aborigines is okay, but the problem is that this name does not sound like a whole, and the horse whistle will inevitably promote a unified one. Since the language is unified into Apache, what is the difference between calling them Apache people? .

"Understood." Chief Pawnee naturally had no choice but to agree. In fact, after going through a series of hardships, he didn't think this was a harsh condition.

"I'll take you to the residential area." The horse sentry got up and said, and then walked out of the hall with the rainy day. Chief Pawnee followed quickly, and then called the tribe.

"You set up tents here for the time being, and we will allocate houses to you later." Ma Whistle pointed.

Chief Pawnee was taken aback for a moment: "Sleeping Bear wants to give us a house?"

Ma Shao smiled: "Of course it's not a free gift. If you want to have a house to live in, the premise is that you have met certain requirements in collective labor."

"Okay." Chief Pawnee nodded half-understanding. He didn't know what collective labor meant.

Then came the pitching of tents, and the census.With the help of the rainy day, the horse whistle completed a census of every Pawnee, recorded their information, and let them remember their appearance.

Dozens of Pawnees ended their escape and lived in Sleeping Bear City.

Unlike the Comanches they had received the previous winter, the Sleeping Bears showed little reaction to their addition.

Thanks to the brainwashing power of religion, uniting and absorbing all the aborigines has become one of the most unshakable political correctnesses in Sleeping Bear City under the repeated propaganda of the Spiritual Sect.

Moreover, in the process of dissemination, this idea has also derived a set of racist theories.

Neutral Theory.

In this racist system, the yellow race to which Indians belong is regarded as the most noble race, called "middle-colored people", while blacks and whites are "extreme-colored people", which are not as good as neutral-colored people. human.

Specifically, the sleeping bear people who hold this view believe that white people have wisdom but no morality, because white people have powerful technology but use it to slaughter aborigines, and they are the most evil and dangerous race.

Blacks have morality but not wisdom, because blacks have not slaughtered aborigines, but they obviously do not have technology, and they are a race worthy of sympathy.

Yellow people with intermediate skin color are a combination of morality and wisdom... As for why Indians who are yellow people lag behind, it is mainly because they chose an overly benevolent path before.

Now that the Indians have corrected their course, they are bound to return to where they should be.

This theory of Chinese people is full of loopholes, not to mention scientifically, it is also untenable at the level of logical common sense.

But it is alive, becoming more and more popular, and promoting the integration of different tribes in Sleeping Bear City.

In the Hall of the Chiefs.

"What are you going to do about the theory of Chinese people? This theory is not in the scriptures, but it is becoming more and more popular." Rainy day asked about this, looking at the horse whistle, "Based on what I know about you, you don't like it." racism."

Horse Whistle nodded first: "That's right, but do you know why I don't like racial discrimination?"

"Why?" Rainy day didn't guess, but asked directly.

Ma Shao: "Because in my opinion, people can be reformed, not only their habits and thoughts can be reformed, but their basic...physiology can also be reformed."

He almost mentioned genes, until he suddenly remembered that there should be no concept of genes at this time.

Horse Whistle continued: "For something so easily and necessarily to be transformed, it makes no sense to compare it to its original, unmodified form."

Rainy Day then asked, "So you plan to ban this thought?"

"No." Ma Shao thought for a while, "The cost of prohibiting ideas is always very high. We don't have to deny it, and don't admit it. Let the spiritual teaching teach another idea, which is what I just said, human plasticity."

"The innate quality of human beings is like the original shape of the soil. Although there are differences, they are not worth mentioning. We can knead a piece of fresh soil at will and shape it into the shape we want."
