It's tough to try to put forward a truly balanced narrative because there is still a lot of racist anti-native american sentiment and consequently a lot of counter compensation against that. In truth the indigenous pre-Columbian Americans were much like people anywhere in pre-modern times. Constantly at war, constantly struggling, with a few bright spots here and there. So much of the narrative of western history focuses on the bright spots and treats the atrocities, conflicts, and struggles as exceptions, but they are both part of the whole.
