    seconded (with all the relative context that this post implies)!!!

    No need of cannon, wolf! only mistake Native did back in 1492, is that they were friendly with the handful of europeans that came in Antilla, and letted colombus go back to tell what he saw... Then, another mistake made by natives, in 1534, where my people lived (border of Saint Lawrence river, near the present site of montreal) is that they welcomed friendly Jacques Cartier, even leted him make an outpost for his colonist! yes... LETTED him do so, because don't forget, that, back then Native weren't dealing with english and french armies, but only with crew member of a pittyful expedition. Then, with Samuel de Champlain, Algonquin people allied with the french to help fight the Iroquois and English... but anyway... fact is that what destroyed the First Nations, before sickness, was friendship, was generosity. then, sickness and european greed effectivly cleared the path for european dominance in americas... now, just for the fun of it... imagine that, back in 1492, Colombus and his remaining 30 or so crew, would have been killed, and never got back to spain to tell the crown (who already didn't believed he'd make it back) what he saw... History MAY have been VERY different...
