Weren't opposing Indian Tribes enemies and often went to war with each other? I don't think all of the tribe's woes can be blamed on Columbus and the settlers.

@Ed "I don't think all of the tribe's woes can be blamed on Columbus and the settlers." The American Holocaust (upwards of 90 million Indigenous people reduced to 215,000), Genocide, Enthnic Cleansing, Rape, Murder, Lynching, Indian Relocation, Indian Boarding Schools... Your right Ed, why blame it on Columbus and the settlers. Americans are champions of endangered species, Save the Whales, meanwhile we have Indians living in third world conditions...
