Native americans had slaves? Do you have any references to put in perspective and counter right wing boot licking perspectives on this matter? Like the issue is feudalism and capitalism/imperialism at the core. Like the natives had conflict... possibly scalped a few but I think the right wing on behalf of their "Yes big daddy" capo corpo masters like to paint images of a past a skew.

It's been a while since I've seen it but I don't remember the piercings being outrageous.

As for the final scenes with the Spanish galleon I have to disagree with the common critique. Neither scene felt hopeful or uplifting when I saw them. I felt the opposite, actually. It felt like the quiet death blow of a civilization - not the salvation of Christ coming to save souls.

But again it's been a while since I saw it.
