How real is the rascism ?

Indigenous cultures were extremely varied and prone to all the shortcomings any culture is prone to. Read Empire of the Summer Moon. It is about the Comanches. Don't know if they viewed the earth as mother and the sky as father. Don't care. Doesn't matter. If they caught anyone in their territory, they would literally skin them alive. The litany of sick and depraved acts of torture committed by the Comanches on their fellow man goes on and on They treated other Native American tribes this way before white folks became a factor,then they added white folks to their s**t list as they began appearing on Comanche land. Despite the fact that the cavalry sometimes rode out and killed innocent indians because they couldn't tell who was who there was always a pool of for example Apaches (those wusses) champing at the bit to lead the rather inept soldiers to the Comanches simply because the Comanches had so thoroughly earned the hatred of virtually everyone they had any contact with. And of this the Comanches were proud.

The concept of killing people to take their stuff has been alive and well in every corner of the world amongst every "race" of people throughout the history of man. Again using the Comnaches as an example, they had to move every couple of weeks as their horses grazed down the prairie. You're right, the idea of hunkering down on one patch of land was unthinkable to them but not because they were prepared to share it with others. It was because the land became useless to them (temporarily). But the idea that killing people over land was a concept brought by Europeans, either to the Americas or to Hawaii, is absolutely laughable.
