[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really don’t understand what some people want. WHY should she not include what the people around her said & thought at the time? She never comes close to “advocating for harm” to Indians. And sure, the Indians were collecting rent— but the Ingalls family did not know that, they did not know the Indians’ language or intentions, and they were understandably afraid. Similarly, some of the characters express hatred for Indians because of the Minnesota Massacre. Of course Native Americans were more wronged against as a whole, but history is complicated, people are complicated, and people tend to focus on their own experiences. This doesn’t make the author a racist for recounting these events. [/quote] She said “there were no people-only Indians.” That shows a lack of humanity.[/quote] She apologized for that and corrected it in her book.[/quote]
