You're probably right, especially if he portrayed NA folks in a positive way, and not as hatchet-wielding bloodthirsty savages as history is wont to do.

I mean they were though. The plains natives were absolutely fucking brutal people.

In response to what was happening to them or in general? Context matters. If you're pulling my rug out from under me, yeah, I'm gonna be Savage.

In general, their brutality didn't magically start when Europeans moved in, they had a long brutal culture long before then.

Murdering other tribes for resources and stealing children?
