The problem with Vance and yourself is that you make it seem like American Indians were a monolith. If one tribe/state was doing something, they all were.
Imagine if the situation was reversed and the Native-Americans landed in Eurasia and started ranting about what the Mongols or Muslims were doing and talked as if it was going on everywhere.
Yes, the Aztecs were assholes. So were the Comanche for that matter. But tribes like the Comanche and Lakota really only became powerful with the arrival of the horse. Which they used basically like the Mongols to claim territory and to terrorize Europeans who were themselves trying to conquer the land using terror.
