I can agree to a certain extent. But really, Native Americans were slaughtered by every country that tried to colonize America. And also, they did better off without the introduction of “technology”.
I think the biggest problem is that indigenous peoples are Still being kicked off their land in current times, in various parts of the world.
Let's be honest the native americans never had a chance vs the colonial powers. There were no large animals able to be domesticated so large scale agriculture had to be done using slaves or not at all. A benefit to domesticating animals is the fact that you gain far more immunities to diseases which could of helped the natives (small pox would still be a thing but a greater survival rate would have been probable). Most native american tribes weren't the hippy bullshit people portray them as but as what hunter gatherers societies tended to be, a savage and clan based system with tribes killing babies and anyone over the age of 8, not to mention raping any women they pillaged. Of course most tribes did this so it was more of a "that's what happens when you are conquered" mindset rather than a tribe specific culture.
A unifying force wouldn't of done much, the europeans had the overwelming technological advantage as well as the incentive to keep pushing (riches, converting, land)
Now at least there are STILL pure native americans, not that it helps, for most of human history if your culture gets dominated usually it disappears within a few generations to the new host culture. America through all of its flaws still gave land to the natives, it was crap land but it's still land. Not shedding tears for the massacres because it happened 200-100 years ago and there are more pressing massacres to care about, in war it's all savagery no matter what side. So I'm not gonna side with a particular side when it comes to historical conflicts, they fought well but still lost, that's human nature in a nutshell give the best you have and you still might lose.
IIN I think Native Americans need to get over themselves
