Oh Mahdi. Where to begin then? Scalping is pretty neat TBH. A lot more folks of all colors survived the at gruesome native tradition than people realize. They "stole" territory from other tribes long before Columbus. Or, since you are so obsessed with the environment, how about we talk about how they burned out the undergrowh of millions of acres per year to facilitate hunting without the crackle of dead leaves. Not only is the "stealthy" Indian stereotype a result of this practice, it is estimated that this annual burning of forests and prairies emmitted more carbon than the coal based industrial revolution in the old world. Except the injuns burned literally every year for several millennia. John Smith marveled at how he could "gallop a horse betwixt the trees" in his journals, not that someone like you would read actual historical works, I'm sure the pictures in your school books and "ancient aliens" is your only frame of reference for this time period. For another first person account of the savagery of the natives, Louis and Clark provide vivid description of native concubines being given to the explorers as tribute and of the disgusting practice of raising dogs for meat and hamstringing them to facilitate their captivity.
As for the role of the white devil in the history of native americans, it is important to realize that the goal of most settlers to tame the savages. Massacres by whites were more frequently retaliatory, if the natives had been civil things would've been different. The Spanish were far more brutal than the English yet all of the natives South of the border today take great pride in their conquistador ancestry, with a higher percentage of Spanish blood being a status symbol. How ironic..
It was a great tragedy that these noble savages did not possess the natural immunity that europeans had built after thousands of years of exposure to endemic infectious diseases. You see, when people become civilized, population density naturally increases which provides the environment necessary to sustain a pandemic event. Of course the white man had already begun solving this problem with smallpox innoculation even before the revolutionary war but the savages are still reluctant to immunize even today in the third world, look at the way even relatively begin measles ravages Africa. Even before the MMR vaccine was developed, measles deaths in the US had been reduced to 500 annually, with tens of millions infected. This is because malnutrition is the bed of measles and American agricultural ingenuity has ensured us a globally adequate surplus every year since the dust bowl. I can go on and on about the things whites have done for the world, from medicine to electricity to internal combustion to refrigeration but you would still probably claim that cradle boards are cutting edge technology and deny that the clastop (flathead indian) practice of skull binding causes encephalitis in an alarmingly high percentage of cases as well as a marked change in personality in the rest. I say you will probably deny these facts because denial seems to be your only defense for the savages. Oh well, no skin off my potato anyhow
