Well, then we'll just have to discover a new world and encounter natives to be faced with this again. Maybe on Mars, eh? Perhaps polio blankets will also suffice for the little green men who will teach us about space corn. I agree that there was a great injustice done to the natives of the U.S. but that time is long since past, and there are no current parallels to "manifest destiny".
