American are savages?

This poem was very heart felt. in the article American Indian Stores it talks about how Indians was mistreated and even though the U.S. government established an Indian Affairs bureau they did not accomplish anything that was helpful to the American Indians. There was such a racism and corruption in the government, even though there were the same people as the Americans, Indians were considered to be savage because of their culture. I especially like a quote from a Civilization poem, where it talks about who the real savages are, "Play-toys to modern weapons for fighting brother against brother." Indians suffered because of their savage like behavior, but Indians viewed the Americans as savages.

What do you think about American who were being savages? do you agree?
