Dont forget the myth about their model environmentalism. Many tribes lived as one with the land until the land was depleted or wasted and then moved on to deplete other areas.

That sounds like the late David Yeagley, a Commanche & very politically incorrect.
He once said “your typical Indian likes his guns, hunting, & pickup truck, and is therefore more redneck than redskin.”

I remember reading somewhere that “Mohawk” (Iroquois Confederation tribe) was a Leni Lenape (Delaware) word for man-eater. The word “Mohawk” which we and now they refer to themselves is the mangled attempt by English speakers to say the Leni Lanape word.
