The same happened in Massachussetts, with different tribes seeking to use the martial technology of the English against their competitors.
That’s true, but I was referring to the environment of the Indians prior to the arrival of the Europeans (the Spanish found willing allies in those victimized by the Aztecs & Incas). Libs would use your point to bolster their argument that Indians were peace-loving “noble savages” who farted rainbows until Europeans corrupted them.
