The Maya were actually as violent as any people in history, delighting in public torture and human sacrifice and engaging massive wars sometimes lasting over a century.

Reminds me of the PC correct version of the Midwest American Indian tribes...

One with the land, gentle souls, spiritual people, only caught enough food to survive, bah, bah, bah...

The earlier settlers who tried to farm in the Midwest used to go hunting and would leave their wife's a small caliber gun with enough bullets to put one in each of their children heads and than one for themselves...

Suicide was a much better deal than being taken captive by plains Indians. ...

Plains Indians committed horrendous atrocities against settlers...

When Lewis and Clark went through they found that the Sioux and other tribes would travel hundreds of miles to attack the Shoshone and others that they had no conflict at all with. Except to raid, plunder, rape and kill.

Or look up the Moriori. A Polynesian people that actually did become pacifist in nature. Then whalers brought Maori from New Zealand to their islands, who promptly indulged in a decades-long orgy of rape, murder and enslavement.
