What would the USA look like had white man not have come? Would the indians have created an advanced society on their own?

[Kaslin]

I don’t believe so.

I think it was one of the Roosevelts who said "If it wasn't for the White Man, the tribes would have killed each other off."

And all this naming was done to promote the Indian Heritage. The present Indians will annihilate themselves in seeking their "separatist" status.

Nah; they were to busy killing each other.
Remember the translated names of most tribes was something akin to “We are the only true people”.
Anybody else was considered sub-human, and considered an enemy or a potential slave.
