Especially when they began trading in the fur trade for guns, they created their own little fiefdoms for hunting, which meant keeping other tribes off their land.

I do want to be clear: I am not excusing what was done to the Native Americans or any other native people by colonizers -- it's inexcusable.

But regardless of good intentions: the "Noble Savage" myth is racism and it needs to die as it's an erasure of agency.
