Thank you for the well thought out and considerate advice. Although I must say it is a little short on knowledge, but I guess getting a rise from someone was more the intent than any real dialog.
From one perspective history is a continual tale of cultures running into each other, rubbing each other raw, eventually consuming each other and resulting in some new mixture of the two.
The various cultures of Europe did this to each other for thousands of years, and during those years so too did those peoples and cultures of the Americas. The Americas were not a single culture but a polyglot of many cultures that migrated and fought each other, eliminating some, mixing some, growing others.
When Europe began major travel to the Americas, the cultures in the Americas were quite different in many ways and yet there was some similarities in that both were (or had) elements of tribal and clan structures. A major difference was that Europe was more acclimated to individual private property and in the Americas such property ownership that existed was more societal oriented. Clearly, these two diverse cultural conglomerates would clash.
While the Europeans seemed to survived this clash, both cultures have contributed to the continuing results.

Woah I'm on your side! This land belonged to your people first, and Europeans had absolutely no right to take it away.
However I hate to be called "trailer park trash" just because we happen to live in a modular village.

Custard? Holy mackeral, I didn't even realize it was threatening us. We should sanction custard in all its forms (vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, other flavors, frozen or not) and prevent it from being served anywhere.
This reminds me of that hideous dihydrogen monoxide problem that nobody is doing anything about...

As if you could survive in a tee-pee, hunting bison and engage in hand to hand combat with rival Indians. And that barbaric head skinning thing, that's just disgusting! No, I think we should stay.

It's Custer, learn your history. And he wasn't very smart, either.
