and it's worked out. Do you think the USA would be a better place if we all lived in tee-pee's. The world would not have all the inventions created by the USA. Do you honestly think the world would be a better place if European colonialists never came to America?

I don't.

Just like America became something new and wonderful after colonialism. America became more powerful than Europe. So these tribes could become more power aswell. They just need access to information. Who knows? Maybe their creativity could be just as great as the USA's creativity after being contacted by europe.

Creativity should never be underestimated.

Are you beliberately missing the point, they have access to information if they choose to avail themselves of it

They have chosen not to. Their choice not yours.
