Could colonization have gone differently with Europeans and Indians living together peacefully?

Extract

[...] The man would necessarily have had "dominant" aspirations, the will to control Indians. Moreover, I think it is not a cultural problem, but a problem intrinsic to the human species. His willingness to always want to be in control may end up killing him. At least for now, it kills nature, animals, but also these people who live in harmony with nature. To conclude, we could say that these two populations could have lived together if the colonizers had respected the number of treaties, and if they really wanted to live with them, which is different than making Indians live like the colonizers.

[...] This is why the only way to make them live together, and I'm sad to say that, is to merge the two cultures, to make them look alike. And that's what happened. The colonizers sought to "acculturate" this people and detach them from their roots. We can imagine that this people have lived there for years, that it has its habits, its rituals and its knowledge about lands. And one day a bunch of white people come in and break their way of life.

[...] In fact, we could talk about the relation between them and nature. Indians are a population that kill just for the necessity of it. Today it could be seen as ecology, but it is their way of life. They live along with nature. There is no intensive farming or killing animals for fun. It is a people who live with the land. Moreover, at birth, they are attributed a totem animal (as in the Disney "Brother Bear"), and this shows us how they can co-exist with nature. [...]

[...] Could colonization have gone differently with Europeans and Indians living together peacefully? Could colonization have gone differently with Europeans and Indians living together peacefully? If so, what would have had to be different for this to be possible? If not, why was this impossible? Between 1775 and 1884, Indian territories in the Americas drastically declined. This decrease in territory has been accompanied by a decrease in the people themselves. Today, we'll try to see if this colonization could have been different, and if those people could have lived together, in peace. [...]

[...] So I think the only possibility there would have been for them to live together was to respect the treaties (there were over 400 in all ) To resume, the only way they can live together is not that they live together, but that they live in the same way. This is where the nuance is. And of course, it was not for Europeans to adapt. Why it was impossible But in another way, I think that leaving together would never have been possible. [...]
