That's true, but this website is written from the perspective of a modern person. The Indians may have burned the land, but it grew back. That mercury and dioxin in the nation's rivers will be there forever. You still can't go near Chernobyl. We have technology today that allows us to fuck things up on a much greater level than the Indians ever did. In comparison to today's human, the Indians did live in harmony with the land. So did the Pilgrims.
