[edit] f☼ct up?

so the washoe people had almost no impact on the land around them. this created a vulnerability for the land to simply be built upon (by european settlers aka the not so distant ancestors of today's american society). this left the washoe without land, food, and shelter, which they needed to survive. and so their only option besides to die was to integrate into the bad-for-the-environment society of the european descended "settlers."

is it just me, or does that suck?
