You realize the natives were constantly fighting among themselves. Making slaves of one another.
That there were several waves of immigrants over the thousands of years prior to the Europeans arriving.
Those waves had to fight one another for land.
Native populations all practice warfare. They do not practice genocide or eugenics. Even taking slaves is a way of exchanging culture among tribes. What they dont do is wholesale slaughter of entire peoples because their sky daddy said it was justified. Its a distinction of culture I'm sure is lost on you.
I suggest you read up in the Huron Iroquois wars. One tribe was decimated and their lands taken be the other.
As an Ojibwe man myself, the beaver wars are very familiar to me. Do you understand what a proxy war is? Its when colonists use natives to fight for their interests and then fuck them over regardless of who wins. The only people who won that war are the Dutch. How fucking dare you
