One of things that stood out to me learning about European contact with natives was that the reports from Euros were largely like “omg look at these weird savages, we must teach them about the Lord and good manners!” But many tribes, having come into contact with various other tribes with different cultures for centuries, were like “Oh look, people, lets say hey and give them gifts.” From a young age I had the thought “the Europeans were actually the less civilized and cultured people weren’t they?”
