Was listening to This American Life talking about the US betraying a tribe over and over and over until they were finally forced to fight back and were slaughtered in the ensuing battles. A teacher going over those events said "We learned how the Indians weren't as good at settling disagreements as the Americans."
But Native Americans did teach colonists to grow corn. That's a fact. It didn't turn out all that well, but there are still a multitude of facts to be acknowledged.

Trail of tears wasn’t too toed around, at least not where I grew up. Shouldn’t be any secret that we have most of America by right of conquest.
