They were correct to fight back against invaders, but they seem more preoccupied with using their newly acquired horses and firearms to raid and enslave rival tribes.
The Pawnee tribe is a good example. Farmers. They didn't have anything of value to offer early european arms dealers and fur traders. The tribes closer to the great lakes and other major river trade routes instead got steel daggers and firearms. The eastern tribes descended on them with light cavalry, steel weapons and firearms against defenseless stone age farms. They were fucked over so badly that eruropeans thought the word "pawnee" meant "slave", because around the great lakes every tribe had pawnee slave girls.
This continued well through the 19th century as the moment one tribe gained an advantage over another they used it to fuck them over, rather than unite to form a nation to resist manifest destiny.
