The Lost Sister of the Wyoming Massacre of 1778: Frances Slocum Found Living Among Miami Indians 

Opp yea you know me

Yes me too ,,,sadly today nobody want to read,,,😢.

​@@riosdepr2010They don't want to or don't know how? Even sadder. No curiosity about history. No desire to learn.

What is OPP?

They would have to show racial violence which they refuse to admit existed. Also Americans could learn to be proud of their history if they knew the truth. Then they would fight to keep it.

For a good read, check out "follow the river " by James Alexander Thom. The book is fantastic, the movie, not so much. There's way to much left out to make a 2 hour movie.

​​@@SisterWomenThey would be proud if they spoke to the people of Belgium who love Americans for liberating them during WWII.

There are a huge number of westerns about white women kidnapped by Indians and later found. In fact the first Western was called "Kidnapped by Indians."

Because it goes against the leftist narrative that white men were the only ones who did anything wrong. Why do you think the only place you will ever hear this story is on a channel named unworthy history? It brings into question the integrity of people who have deemed the truth as unworthy.

This is not what the author wants in the story , the story is just how it was.

When she was found by her family, she was between 65-75 years old, with children and grandchildren. She had absolutely no interest in going back to white society, and she barely remembered English. The government gave her a tract of land in Indiana Territory. She settled there with her family and members of the Miami tribe who refused to be relocated to Oklahoma/Indian Territory. Her heart, mind, and culture was entirely Miami.

Reject all false dichotomies. All men are made in the image of God, and He chose to draw us out of a line of violent primates.

That's not accurate at all. Children were more often than not adopted into the tribes and usually given to parents who had recently lost a child. Women were not always raped, and usually not by the Woodland/Great Lakes tribes. They did have to run through a gauntlet among many tribes, which was horrifying and violent, but it was used to test bravery and worthiness. Often, those that didn't pass the gauntlet would be sold to the French. Yes, many adult captives were slaves, but not the entirety of their lives. If they worked hard, learned the language, and adopted the customs of the tribe, usually an elderly couple would adopt them as daughters, and they would often marry, because the alternative would have been drudgery and loneliness. These captives weren't stupid, you did whatever you could to survive your circumstances and carve out some kind of life.

Often when it comes to American history, the historical perspective of Native Americans has been left out of the narrative altogether. History isn't one-sided, and the white American perspective has been bogged down with bias and racism for decades. Natives, for example, were not the original practitioners of scalping. The Irish and Scottish brought that practice to North America; it's an ancient Celtic practice.

Perhaps you are right about Christianity being a major uplifting element here, but that is too ephemeral to reasonably quantify. Pragmatically, the myriad Amerindian lifeways persisted because they allowed those peoples to survive comfortably for thousands of years. Objectively, the advent of new cultures (including the Christianity you appeal to) and technologies changed that dynamic, and they were forced to adapt. Indeed, many of them jumped at the chance of new tech (iron, horses, firearms, etc.) that gave them an edge over local rival groups. (Make no mistake, though, I am horrified by and pity those kidnapped children, and concur which ones likely had better upbringings.) But I would only reserve judgements for the moral and ethical standards (or lack thereof) for these people in those days, and am inclined toward charity due to the constant inter-tribal warfare they were subject to. In terms of technology, they managed comfortably without wheels (which require flat, even terrain to function anyway, and a nightmare to parse in mountainous terrain), even less so for pueblo cultures of the Southwest. For plains dwellers at least the migratory nature of their primary game left them constantly on the move, hence disincentivized establishment of permanent settlements and led to them readily adapting to the introduction of horses (re: wheels again, better at navigating irregular terrain). Understand, while I am inclined to agree with you and see the introduction of Christianity as a net positive for theAmerica's, it is supremely myopic to judge cultures in terms of technological development save as an anthropological term of convenience.
