Chloe, the entirety of history was built by nations conquering nations. Tough shit.

The Seven Years War in the mid 1700s saw many tribes forming alliances with the French against the British- they did this to also borrow the French army's strength against other tribes. https://twitter.com/bigdickchloe/status/1279576211350597633
The US federal government instituted the Smallpox Vaccinatjon act of 1832 to try to protect Natives from the introduced European diseases.

Did you know that Natives didn't really have horses until the 1600s when the Spaniards brought them to Mexico?
It ended up building the wild horse populations we have today. Or at least got them started.

During the American Revolution, Natives often sided with the British, which did lead to a worse deal on the other side of the war.

Plenty of Creek and Chocktaw Natives were slaveowners-
And they fought for the Confederacy.

The history of natives and colonialists is not as binary as you'd like to think it was, and there was a significant amount of participation in the forming of Mexico, the US, and Canada as they are today.

So... there. Learn something.
