On leaving / not leaving them alone:
"... They make it clear they want to be left alone."
"But could this be because they don’t see the benefits of ‘our’ way of life? If they knew, might they want to join us?"
"They won’t get the chance. In reality, the future offered by the settler society is to ‘join’ at the lowest possible level – often as beggars and prostitutes. History proves that tribal peoples end up in a far worse state after contact, often dead."
