I'm also interested what this model was?

We have SUCH a tendency today to view colonialism as the "evil white man" conquering the "proud peaceful native" that we seem to forget that the absolute vast majority of cultures we conquered were absolutely HORRIBLE.

Sure white culture wasn't perfect, but from what I have read it most of the times was a TRUCKLOAD better than the alternatives that the natives had.
