Where it all began at Plymouth Plantation in 1621, Plymouth, Massachusetts Unfortunately the tickets are already sold out for the 400 hundredth anniversary (Quatercentenary) on Thursday November 25, 2021
I'm sure it's not PC now. In grade school my teacher put on a head dress and had us do all the stereotypical things. I still remember her jumping around singing "dance dance Indian man". What's funny to me as an adult is if you look at the kid's books on this topic the natives are not dressed. This is the East Coast of America in the fall. It gets cold and yet there is need to have them shirtless so they seem more "savage" I guess.
I still don't think it's even been proven that Vikings ran into battle with horned helmets and less likely when they invaded the UK parts cause those dudes were hipped up on mushrooms and known to run off the boats stark naked, the Berserkers. But they're depicted scarier with horned helmets. Those brutal men from the North.
That’s correct although it looks cool, the Vikings never had horns on their helmets when they went into battle.
Yeah, they'd be impractical. I think there'd have been ceremonial helmets etc. I mean maybe they did wear them into battle too at some point, like small raids.
The Native Americans saved the Pilgrims from starvation by showing them how to survive in the new worlds, so how did those belt-buckle hat wearing religious zealots show their appreciation, lies, deceit, treachery, and eventually warfare. Btw: Just like the horns on the Vikings helmet, the Pilgrims never wore belt-buckles on their hats, although they were conical in shape.
