You know I love you, Aza, but... Comanches butchered babies. Numerous tribes scalped their enemies. The Plains tribes practiced rape and disfigurement. The First Nations near where I grew up (Six Nations Mohawks) owned slaves. War and maurading were rampant. Their tortures were heinous and barbaric.

Disabuse yourself of the myth of the holy Indian, my friend. Natives were still humans, and humans do truly terrible things. (The only reason they seemed to not lust after possessions as much was because there was abundance. As soon as guns and other Old World items made landfall, they fought for them like the rest.)
