Yes this nails it just like the native men nailed opposing tribes women. Thousands of years of fighting, raping, and enslaving other tribes. Just like what happened in every other tribal group on planet Earth. It sucks but that was reality.
There was no nation, no civilization, in what became North America. Just a ton of tribes that kicked each others asses back and forth. Europeans made the countries what they are. With enough time, literally a couple more thousand years, the Natives would have also but it didn't happen fast enough. If the Europeans didn't setup shop first it would have been the Chinese or Japanese.
Also fuck multiculturalism. Canada's culture is English, French, and a dash of Native/Indigenous since history turned out that way. Tricultural merged into single unified Canadian culture.
Atleast that’s how it should be. Our dumbass politicians see the natives as a separate nation within the same borders as the rest of us. It is literally political policy pushing division and hate but the masses see it as being racially sensitive because we give them money because someone in the past was mean I guess? Because the Europeans had superior technology and could actually tame the wild lands of Canada roamed by savages? We need to start treating the aboriginals like Canadians or we give them their own little chunk of land and peace out. No more freebies for them, it’s not helping them and it’s not changing the past.
Contact was the best thing the ever happened to the aboriginals. Europeans did indeed bring civilization to the aboriginals. They gained peace, rule of law, security, running water, electricity, consumer goods, dependable food supply, education, reading, healthcare, and opportunities that any white man has. Sure, the horrible plagues decimated them, but most would still jump at this deal. Schools 'teach' that whites committed 'cultural genocide' by educating aboriginals, but not how violent and cruel tribes were to each other. In Canada, almost all the 'Indian wars' did not involve whites. Aboriginals gave little resistance to colonization because whites were much better neighbors. When murder, slavery, and ignorance define your culture then it's time for a change.

And wheels and a written language and metallurgy, thanks for bring us out of the stone age, would be more apt.
