Great question!
Let's start with foods. Do some research on how foods originating the Americas changed the rest of the world. The Native people here cultivated these foods. Potatoes, corn, squashes, tomatoes all come from the Americas. Just think what Itallian food would be without tomatoes! There was no pizza, spaghetti or lasagna like we know it today before 1492. The potato might have been more important to Europe in that it helped end European famines. http://www.accessexcellence.org/RC/Ethnobotany/page5.html
Also, the Native nations introduced chocolate and rubber to the world.
Research the Navajo code talkers and their affect on World War II. http://www.navajocodetalkers.org/
Some Native American nations fought on the side of the United States in the Revolutionary War. If they had ALL fought against the United States the world would look much different today.
Do some research on how the Iroquois form of government was a model for the United States. http://www.championtrees.org/yarrow/greatlaw.htm
Also, the Native philosophy of not taking more than you need from the land and living in harmony with the Earth would be a good idea to follow today given the threat of global warming. As more and more people change their lives to follow that philosophy, maybe the world will be saved because of it.

Their eyes are small-formed like Asians too. community people are extra like a mix of South Asians (India) and East Asians. undergo in concepts people in India are Caucasoid.
