Historical evidence points to the Europeans literally raping and pillaging to the near point of nearly annihilating Native Americans, similar to what happened to the American Bison....or that's fake news too?

Sometimes seeing is believing, and sometimes it still isn't enough for some!
I also don't base my understanding of a whole continent full of different Native American Tribes based on one Blockbuster Movie as Hollywood would. Or did I mean to say "Would Not" you know a double negative because well I am tough on "hollywood"......hahhahahaha.....had to throw that in there.

There is a rock that was found in 1937 that claims to explain what happened to the Roanoke people, but the rock was "found" under dubious conditions. And the History show you speak of included two brothers who hunt for, get this, Giant Nephilim but when that doesn't work out become Roanoke archeologist. They found nothing at Roanoke but more questions.
Columbus was lost and got lucky when he found land.... thus naming non-indians Indians. He was also avaricious, as evidenced by his act of claiming to be the VERY FIRST to see land. You really believe the Captain of his own ship would be posted looking out at the endless sea waiting for first site of land. Of course not, he would have one of his men posted, and then when they found land, Columbus would just say it was him and receive the Kings reward for being the first to spot land. Not very righteous, team friendly or bad ass. Erik the Red and Leif Erikson, now they were bad ass!
I would consider Neil Armstrong for the title of most important person in Human History but since I don't believe NASA really went to the Moon, I then look to Martin Luther King as one of the greatest. An imperfect human being, but one who did not let even death stop him.
And I bet if we could go back in time and ask the Natives what they preferred, horses and steel or their original lives back.... I KNOW they would all have given up Western goods for their simple traditional lives, as imperfect as they were. Murder, war, rape and loss of your ancestral lands traded for Western goods and a Western lifestyle? I don't think so.
