"The song refers to Native Americans as the aggressors killing white people, when history tells us that the truth of what happened is pretty much the opposite." The politically-correct don't have their history down any more than the purveyors of the old stereotype. A lot of people were killing a lot of people for all kinds of reasons throughout North American history from the fifteenth century on (and presumably well before.) There were fearsome inter-tribal wars between Native Americans; Native-Indian defensive killings of various European interlopers (and plenty of peaceful and trusting Native Americans trying to accommodate and/or help the Europeans.) My great-great-great-great-grandfather was tomahawked and scalped to death December 30, 1813, while holding back the British and their Native American allies, allowing soldiers and civilians to escape the Burning Of Buffalo in the "1812 War." Native Americans made different alliances with different American settlers for different goals. The overwhelming mea culpa of the later generations has blurred the forests and the trees from a complex period in history.
