They DID have boundaries established, for coexisting with others (and yes, some fought over that), but they couldn't comprehend the ownership of nature.
Passiveness bit them in the posterior, but to say they should have completely disregarded their beliefs of nature as its own spirit is a bit unreasonable.
Not saying that at all. But being naive isn't an excuse either. The more prepared group won, it's a shame for them but to the victor goes the spoils.
I think we do them a disservice by giving them what we do.... It basically keeps them under our boot. All the different tribes fought with each other. They should all have went to one state and ran that how they wished. They would be In a majority and at least be in control of how they lived with real representation. But they stil can't agree on anything. That's why they lost.
