I recall reading a first hand account written by two French explorers around the Great lakes in the 1600s. They had hired two Indians to help carry their goods, but found them easily distracted. One day, the Indians spotted a small group of women and children from another tribe. They immediately dropped what they were carrying, attacked, and slaughtered the women and children. Then they sat about examining the dead women and commenting on they differed from their own women. The French were hugely annoyed by the delay, and commented on how unreliable their helpers were.

Wasn’t it the hyper-violent Comanche who prevented first the Spanish and later the Mexicans from settling the southwestern US?
They must be Chicago liberals because that’s what they’re full of.
What they didn’t have was a sustainable culture. They were faced by Europeans who’d moved well past the stone age.
“Aztec cannibalism and human sacrifice (especially at the dedication of the great pyramid of Huitzilopochtli in 1487) on a scale approaching the daily murder rate at Auschwitz are seldom discussed as a part of the Mexican past.”
Mexifornia, Victor Davis Hanson, pg.76

What’s also not discussed is the level of homosexuality that the spanish encountered especially among the priest class. They were seriously offended by the combination of human sacrifice and homosexuality. That’s why they thought they were doing God’s work by eradicating a lot of these people.
