Is he wrong? I don't think I know of any native cultural traditions much less any that were integrated into American culture. I'm sure they exist I just don't think their influence is that large.
How about corn, tobacco, potatoes, pumpkins, tomatoes?
Lmao.
Just imagine all the thousands of things you could list from other cultures before needing to descend into a shopping list of vegetables that happen to be native to the region.
These people think that eating crops from somewhere else means you're integrating their culture? I bet most Americans much less Europeans know which continent their crops are originally from because noone cares.
The only real lasting impacts brought up in this thread are placenames and sports (lacrosse/hockey).
I listened to a great podcast about that Indian school. Their schemes were the epitome of "There's nothing in the rulebook that says a dog can't play football!"
Other trick plays innovated by the Carlisle Indians cannot be used because the NCAA instituted rules specifically prohibiting them after Carlisle used them
.
Harvard executed the kick, and the Indians formed a circle around the returner. With the aid of a specially altered jersey, the ball was placed up the back of the returner. The Indians broke the huddle and spread out in different directions. Each player feigned carrying the ball, except Dillon, the man with the ball up the back of his jersey. The ruse confused the Crimson players, and they scrambled to find the ball carrier. Dillon, with both his hands free, was ignored by the searching Harvard players, and he ran unmolested into the end zone.
It's like that thing where crabs keep re-evolving when they go extinct. When Mitch dies, Rick will climb to a corner of the ceiling, spin a cocoon of silk and mucus, and after a couple of silent weeks emerge in his chinless, bruisy final form.
I'm sorry, did he say something about the birth of a nation there? 🤔
Always amusing to see why the pilgrims weren't allowed to practice their faith on an already extremely christian continent. Turns out nobody likes puritans and burning them is fun.

I dunno the specific answer to that but Twitter sure has lots to say about it:
No native American culture? How about corn, tobacco, potatoes, pumpkins, tomatoes? Snowshoes, hammocks, canoes? The ranging way of warfare? The routes of our main roads? Lacrosse, hockey? Or perhaps the very idea of a federal union, modelled on the Six Nations of the Iroquois?
Except for every river name, city name and county name.....From the New Jersey to California we have named our nation after Indigenous Peoples.
But you know....... racism and Republicanism mean the same thing now.
The idea that white Americans “invented” America out of whole cloth is white supremacist narcissism – & rubbish. America was built on the lands/hunting/foods of Native Americans. America was built on the Enlightenment ideas of Europe. America was built on labor from Africa.
Yes...there isn't any Native American culture in American culture because we canceled them. We abolished them. We had no respect for them or their land that they lived on. This statement of his is absolute ignorance.
The seethe is real lol.
Yikes
The Redskins and Disney’s the Pocahontas What more can you ask for? ..oh ya ..and Casinos too 🎰 . Culture is what you share

I bet most people still think that potatoes come from Europe, that is just how little people care where crops originally come from

I know on a rational level that tomatoes are from America but it's easy to imagine that Italy always has had them.

As a patriot I eat only cabbage soup. Osteoporosis just like our forefathers intended.
1 Smug_College_Liberal 2021-04-26
is eating corn and tomatoes considered cultural appropriation?

Central and South American natives were unified and contributed significantly to the cultural makeup of modern Latin America.
The North Americans natives were largely killed off by disease and ethnic cleansings.
So Mr. Santorum isn't entirely wrong, even if he is kind of a dick.

🦅🏈 was revolutionized by the guys at Carlisle. Before that, 🏈 was basically two teams of meatheads plowing into each over and over.

As opposed to now where it is two teams of meatheads destroying their brains over and over
1 Bummunism 2021-04-26
Yeah, but now they throw the ball
2 ineedmorealts 2021-04-26
No. Even a lot of native groups don't have much "native culture" anymore.

No, I'm not a pedophile. I was referring to going to college during that time period.

"Internalized misogynist" and "prude" are the new slurs for women with standards and boundaries. Don't let newspeak fool you. ;)
