Nonsense, another poster with a sanitised version of history. The problem with your assertion is that there was somehow a native way of life which stood in contrast with European society. There were thousands of very different native tribes, empires, regions, theocracies, kingdoms, fiefdoms, confederacies, etc in America prior to European arrival. Some were conquering, some built massive structures and large infrastructure works , others were nomadic. Many affected their environment and controlled it, changing local climates, deforestation, etc others did not. Most adapted to new technologies, whether horses or guns, etc, and modified their societies accordingly. Sadly, what they couldn't fight was germs and diseas, which wiped 90% of them out.

But to suggest their innovations and culture don't live on is silly. Plant domestication (corn, peppers, squash, tomtato, potato, etc), farming techniques , canoes/Kayaks, survival in the artic, modern constitutions, urban planning ideas, etc.
