The American Indians were busy killing and enslaving each other long before the white man made his appearance.
The very manner in which the white man came to rule the entire continent was the fact that every Indian tribe had their own mortal enemies among other tribes - the whites just exploited the age-old hostilities by supporting one tribe over the other.
BTW the Ute word for 'enemy'?
It's 'Comanche.'
That name originated a quite a few hundred years before the Ute.
So did my name.
