It's always good to inspire healthy fear in the neighbors. The Navajo refer to themselves as Dine while Navajo supposedly comes from a Hopi word for head bashers. Most tribes term for themselves is a word that translates to 'the real people'. Most Anglo names came from asking a tribe with friendly relations what the pople on the other side of the ridge were called. 'Big bellied, pierced nose snakes!' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gros_Ventre https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nez_Perce https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_Indians I'm not suggesting torture but making life very difficult for illegal aliens instead of handing them EDT cards might suggest things weren't all that bad back in wherever. Even Adams caught on eventually. https://nypost.com/2024/11/08/us-news/nyc-to-end-controversial-program- supplying-migrants-with-prepaid-debit-cards/
