CRT is a type of antiquated computer monitor.
Perhaps you don't want to argue the merits of a thing and prefer to label it so that you can then attack the label.

Define meaningful.
For all your Greek columns hoisted with funds stolen from taxpayers and marbled stairs built by underpaid laborers, I much prefer the sharing of good bbq with friends and family.
Significant, eloquent, revelatory...
So philosophy, mathematics, elements of architecture and design, just to name a few.
For example, you can look at the architecture of a city like New Orleans and be able to comment on the varying elements of design that were just as useful then as they are today. That influence is meaningful. It carries weight. It stood the test of time.
Indians, from what I've read, have been in North America for 15000 years. Take a look at what was developed in Greece in terms of philosophy and architecture during that time (since you want to use that example). Look at Egypt and its architecture. Or the Middle East and its contribution to mathematics as a whole.
All of those things happened while the Indians squatted in the dirt and poked each other with sticks. Kingdoms and nations rose and fell while pre-Columbian people were busy unga bunga-ing and hunting entire animal species to extinction.
It's only the truth.

The Indians were soundly conquered, were talking about Mr.T vs Rocky Balboa(first fight) conquered.

CRT is no such thing in today’s world.
Like I said. You CRT people are funny.

The words in question are from a speech which is the spoken word. At least have your "facts" right if you're going to disparage.
Anyway, you're way off topic. Back to the erasure of Native American History:
quote:
Secretary of War Henry Knox explained that the Continental Congress had needlessly provoked Native Americans following the Revolution by insisting on American possession of all territory east of the Mississippi River. Congress had previously argued that by supporting the British during the war Native Americans had forfeited any claim to territory on the western frontier of American settlement. However, this perspective ignored the fact that only a portion of tribes had actually supported the British.
In 1787, the Confederation Congress enacted the Northwest Ordinance, opening the Ohio Valley to new American settlement. Members of the Western Lakes Confederacy reacted by utilizing armed resistance to protect their land.

Nothing of significance here:

Aye, Ronnie. You haven't made a single post that refutes Santorum's comments.

Three old structures! So much contribution to culture!!!
All of those definitely have a lasting impact on American society!

None of those things have any significance to US culture today.
Try harder.

Just ignoring the other posts... okay, interesting tactic and in no way makes you look like a braying donkey.

What's the significance there? Okay, a bunch of people piled up a bunch of dirt. What bearing does that have on America today?
You people kill me.
EDIT: Just to clarify, a temple in Guatemala, BBQ, and piles of dirt are your examples of Indian influence in America today?
