The amoral savages were savages and the colonial settlers who brought society to lands inhabited by stone age savages only returned what they were given except they did so in the advance means of a superior species. The noble savage myth is just that. They were and are barely above feral beasts.

Yes. And to add to that, the Plains Indians (specifically the Comanche) were slaughtering, torturing, and enslaving each other for thousands of years before Europeans came over en masse. They also hunted many animals to extinction.
