What weird patronizing tone.
>Indigenous Americans knew how to avoid starvation. Colonists were too hungry to notice.
What's the point, civilization(s) that lived off the local land were better at subsisting in difficult situations than people from a different continent not very familiar with local food sources?
An exposition of native foods contrasting with colonial foods could be interesting but it's wrapped up in weird reverence and arguing against a centuries old idiot.
