Conquistadors rolling in was analogous to allied armies liberating Nazi death camps. And more than a few local tribes in the area agreed.

Based on the state of abortion I’m pretty sure much of America has been inhabited by pagan Aztecs

Cortes never had a problem getting other tribes to help fight against the nutjobs ruling Tenochtitlan.

Indeed

Many tribes cooperated with the Spanish which is how they won contrary to the legend of horses and gunpowder alone

Actually they were essential. The army of Cortez was small. The local Indian tribes had suffered extreme abuse as slaves and sacrificial victims to the Aztecs. They joined Cortez for this reason, they were pissed off.

If any tribe has a claim to North America it would be the tribe at the Tierra del fuego in South America. They crossed the Siberian land bridge,into a new land. Then they were driven out by a stronger tribe who were then driven out by an even stronger tribe who fled from a really mean tribe coming in to take over who then fled from another tribe...for the last 20,000 years.

In other words, they really don't have a claim if another stronger tribe can oust them.

“ We stole the land they stole from somebody else.”

And Joe Biden will now sell it to the Chinese, except for the Southwest portion that he’ll sell to the cartels.

I guess that’s a move up, money is changing hands anyway.
