I recently watched PBS 'American Experience: 'We Shall Remain': "With depth, breadth and richness, Native American history is told through indigenous eyes in this revolutionary five-part docudrama. Exploring five pivotal periods, the series spans 300 years of Indian adversity, resilience and self-determination. Benjamin Bratt narrates the sweeping series as it reexamines a cornerstone of America's story and offers insight into how history's heartbreak and hope resonate with American Indians today."
It never was strictly whites against the native people. When there was an advantage it would be whites with some tribes against other tribes. Or whites with some parts of a tribe against other parts of a tribe. But, of course, in all the what the whites did to the native people was genocide in the pursuit of property. It was a mess. It's still a mess.
