   Are you talking about the whites uprooting the Indians?   
      
   I'm asking because you could be talking about Indians uprooting Indians.   
     The Sioux fought the Crow and stole their land.  Other Indian tribes   
   fought each other all the time and pushed tribes from their lands.  It   
   was nothing different with the whites pushing the Indians out of the   
   way.  It happens every day.  Even today, there are battles being waged   
   over land.   
      
   The Sioux defeated the Crow and stole their land.  The whites defeated   
   the Sioux and pushed them off their land.   
      
   Both races are guilty.  Get over it.   
      
   The Indians had been fighting, scalping, and mutilating each other long   
   before the whites showed up.   
      
   Survival of the fittest.
