[QUOTE="conclave27, post: 7665413, member: 95216"] Sadly how can "a Indian Council" be representative of the 1000+ various groups of of indigenous people in North America? I was always glad to see other "Non-European" settings. Monte Cook's inclusion of the "Thunder Plains" follows in the footsteps of other such modules and campaign settings. Deadlands is one of the Prime examples of stereo typing Native Americans as well, they did their best job trying to be as respectful as possible. the D&D campaigns settings for Mystara and Forgotten realms took there own stab as well. Although not as accurate as one would hope, take into consideration that these are fantasy interpretations. People should happy that other cultures and historical people are being included... I'd rather see them add instead of making them "invisible". I myself am Native American, my family cultures was obliterated by the U.S. government, rival tribes, the French and Mexican Armies....some of us were folded into other large tribes... and others just assimilated. Would would be helpful, is instead of shutting Monte Cook down and trying to silence his idea.... clarify the Thunder Plains. Go into further detail and clarifies with a supplement that accurate portrays "your version" of Native America history. Heck the whole premise of the Thunder Plains is surrounding the dominant culture of the Comanches of Kansas and Norther Texas. Like I said there are over 1000+ tribes each with a unique culture.... you can't please everybody. As long as it was respectful... then hey just be happy. [/QUOTE]
