You think the tribes didn’t fight each other before the Europeans arrived?

I don’t. But you can provide a link to prove me wrong. Make sure you show me how they would take away whole territories from losing tribes, put them in reservations and try to convert them. Also, a link on how these tribes would sale to Europe to colonize European territories too.

From your link: “The fighting of a war to conquer enemy territory was not only beyond the resources of any of these Aboriginal groupings, it was contrary to a culture that was based on spiritual connections to a specific territory. “

They didn’t do so on account of their not having the ability, not out of moral superiority. They still fought over property, such as a women.

Why do you think they started treating women as property and killing each other only when Europeans came?

Your link states it was contrary to their culture to conquer for territory. Was the original point? Why do I think they started women as property? Maybe the Europeans were so deranged from centuries of genocide they tried to brainwash the natives using coercion and threats, the natives felt they had no option?

You think the Europeans tried to encourage the natives to attack other tribes for women?

Yes. They had a history of divide & conquer

You have no evidence that this policy on native women was ever conceived, let alone implemented.

Also, why do you subscribe to the noble-savage myth? There is plenty of evidence against it.

You have no evidence against it, why should I believe in you vs my own opinion? Why do you subscribe to Eurosupremism?

Because, hopefully, you care about truth. A claim with no evidence is baseless. Why do you subscribe to Indigenophilia?
