History was been mangled to hide that fact due to the United States' campaign of genocide on Native Americans in the 19th C.
In the 17th and 18th centuries there was a lot of commingling of the races.
As we pushed west...the WEALTHY wanted the land and it's resources...the Native Americans stood in the way so the GOVERNMENT aided the RICH (sound familiar?) and they proceeded to systematically eliminate Native Americans.
To do this they demonized the Native American and used fear, uncertainty and doubt to manipulate public opinion.
Post Civil War it got worse as the racial divide between Whites and NON-Whites was elevated to the extent that we are struggling to recover even to this day and the government is still loathe to admit that they reneged on every treaty and promise made.
