Pekka Hemalainan is pretty much the only historian who studies native tribes during the European colonization. His recent book talks about how the tribes didn't view Europeans as much of a challenge or difficulty. The loss of land came from their own arrogance than anything to do with the idea of European dominance.

Basically, European colonies survived by going to places the other tribes didn't consider important. Another tribe had died off, and the Europeans settled in that land? Sure go ahead.

This follows similar ideas in business tech called Disruption. Nintendo has specifically tried to emulate the ideas from books based on those studies. They let Sony and Microsoft battle for the same players, and then offer it to everyone else, with a few games those other players might enjoy as well.

I bring this up because the same ideas are being used to promote the 'great replacement'. The POC are not that important, but they should be given all this power because they aren't a threat.
