I say it’s all the tragedy. So many people were killed in what was really only a couple hundred years or so. Which sounds like a long time but compared to other countries is a blink. Not to mention the natives were very spiritual so who truly knows but them. Many tales and secrets no doubt died with them. And the atrocities brought upon them in certain scarred the land.
If anyone else has said exactly this I apologize! Maybe take it as we’re on the right track? Haha
