If there was any evidence of bad blood amongst indigenous Americans, it was presented back in the days of Hernan Cortez, and his diplomatic manipulation in the conquest of Mexico. The Aztecs and Montezuma had many enemies, and Cortez recruited a known enemy of Montezuma, Malinche, as his translator and his concubine. The Spanish wrote loads of how bad the Aztecs were for human sacrifice, which the Aztecs obtained from prisoners of war from rival tribes.

I climbed the volcano La Malinche in southern Mexico. It’s about 14,500 feet. Must be a connection.
