You are judging indigenous cultures through a capitalist lens. It's just not going to look like any of the indigenous people were successful.
Native Americans had written languages. They had their own philosophies (men can not "own" land). On the other side of the coin they had wars and genocides but just as the genieva convention exists today they had agreements on how to conduct those things.
But it's so much easier saying the brown people are savages.
Funny how someone mentions "some indigenous cultures never invented writing and are hunter gathers" and you immediately thought "brown people". There were indigenous cultures in Europe that never invented writing and were hunter gatherers, too.
