::'''delete''' per nom, and reclassify in Military history by country. The term 'native' in this context can be seen as pejorative; Is a Frenchman on French soil a 'native'? If not, why is an Indian on Indian soil a 'native'? see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native] for further discussion. Finally, linking prehistoric/primitive groups with so-called 'native' groups is also a POV linkage - what do cave drawings in France have to do with Ghanaian soldiers in the 1860s? We could create a new cat called "Prehistoric art of war" that would collect ancient art such as cave art on this topic which would be interesting and not pejorative since it refers to a time period (instead of calling some group of people 'primitive'). --[[User:Obiwankenobi|Obi-Wan Kenobi]] ([[User talk:Obiwankenobi|talk]]) 17:05, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

:::Must be some misunderstanding indeed : native is translated "indigène" in french and the term is not racist ! So my apologies to whom feel schoked and do as you consider the best - I will just keep some webads of documents for my entry in french - just wait I created my "personal gallery".
