I mean, for one thing the matriarchal tribe she came from was pretty much wrong about everything. Only one of the ruling matriarchs wasn't a frightened, old, curmudgeonly idiot. And the last wasn't exactly smart she was just an old free spirit hippy type.

I kept expecting them to pull a "Surprise, the western civilization people are actually the big bad imperialists and we should all seek to be more like the noble savage." but it didn't happen.
