Sorry retards but the Natives (who actually weren't) were so backward they'd still be fighting each other in loin cloths if whitey hadn't fixed up America for their useless asses. Anyone who thinks (coughs loudly) Native's have contributed to the cultural canon of America is a smooth brained low IQ dolt...

This.

I'm so sick and tired of the Noble Savage myths. All that stems from Dickens London as romanticized novels, has no basis in reality.

They had some semblance of honor, but it's mainly reserved for their particular tribe. In contact contact other tribes, they would backstab, betray, and generally shit on people that weren't like them. They tried to do it with the European. Didn't turn out so well. The natives that hate the reservations only need to thank their ancestors.

The Apache were particularly savage. Texans exterminated them because they survived purely on raiding, and that meant raping and pillaging in the frontier.
