They regret an open borders policy?
Mourning over the mutual tribal genocide and the occasional child sacrifice?
When they go totally back to nature as a way of life, I’ll believe them...but not as long as one slot remains on one reservation or discount cigarettes are available in their stores....

Enough said.
Diseases ?
You mean the same/similar diseases which had only recently (at time of the ‘invasion’) wiped out 1/3 of all the people in Europe (and other parts of the world), and which had been doing so every couple of generations for more than 1000 years ???
While you are mourning, you also can take a pledge to GIVE UP everything else the Whiteman brought to you (and created since) and to (try to) live as your ancestors did.
THEN You will learn what the phrase ‘Nasty, Brustish and Short’ refers to also about that golden age of indian life. And don’t forget that you can also kill each other in wars/territorial aggression/pressurings as the indians did in time immemorial BEFORE the Whiteman ever came.
Maybe you would rather be thankful for what you HAVE rather than mournful of something you ESCAPED ??

Yep, they’d be content to be living in the stone age right now and forever. It was just a great life!
If it had been Ghengis Khan or Tamerlane I wonder how the Native Americans would have fared? Poorly I would think.
