...Amerind culture has had its share of bad shite...and I would almost disagree with Slim, but there was a quote from an Indian cheiftain (which I've been hunting through my books to verify...but I have so many on the subject of Amerindian history and culture...)where he sez "What do YOU people have that we don't have? Your Guns and your ships; had we these, we would have come and taken YOUR land, and your goods, for, are WE not MEN also?" That's a pretty rough paraphrase, but the essence was that "if WE had the technological advantage, we would have done unto YOU before YOU could do unto US".
But, given the UNDERSTANDING that tyhey would be educated as to EXACTLY what a nuke would do...I don't think that MOST Amerindian peoples would have opted to use it...MOST of them...
