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.

If you want to read a very good mystery-adventure set in the area about this issue, hit up your library for Thunderhead by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child.

Their other collaborations are also very good, particularly the Pendergast series.
