  • Interesting stuff. I think remember hearing about that in the Behindthebastards episode on Columbus.

    The spanish had a similar native experience during an unplanned visit to Ireland in 1517. While there were towns and villages in Ireland at the time, there was still a significant population of wild Irish.

    They spend an marked amount of time talking about the free range boobs that were on show.


  • Were there not many different tribes? It stands to reason that there could well have been a range of different lifestyles too. Including that described above.

    My point being that other recorded experiences with native americans do not invalidate this rosy reminiscence.

    It is in no way a workable solution to the modern maladies of this fractious over-crowded planet but it does help to have a range of idealised utopias to draw from in our discussions of how to proceed.
