Though the trope of the "Ecological Indian" is indelible in popular culture, history tells a much more complicated story. Featuring cutting edge perspectives rarely seen outside academia and in-depth interviews with indigenous historians, climate scientists, and other experts, this video will dispel the paternalistic myths and reveal Native American ecology in all its ingenious, imperfect glory.

They weren't a monolith...

Some were peaceful hippies, others were like Sparta with every citizen a warrior and slaves doing all the other work.

Anyone that tries to lump them all together has no idea what they're talking about.

What tribes were like Sparta? I'm only familiar with some of the ones in Oklahoma, but none of them were like that historically. I assume they're outside of the places I know.

Aztec comes to mind, as far as ridiculous warrior culture and a worship of violence. I don't think they had quite as much passionate gay sex though, sadly.
