The scene from Wounded Knee should be shown in school. Also didn’t other tribes help the Spanish due to how the Aztecs treated them? I also read that Shaka Zulu was very ruthless with neighboring tribes. I wonder if any of them helped the British. The good/bad/ugly of western history has been rehashed to death. Let’s get some mini series about non western history. Especially slavery and other atrocities
I did learn about that. The Spanish word “malinchista” has its roots in that. A native woman who sided with the Spanish. Or their version of Benedict Arnold I think
Just more sour grapes from the losers of history, turned into a wine everyone has been told is the finest of all time since the wrong side consistently won Mexican civil wars - the Reform War, Mexican Revolution, Cristero War, etc. - often with assistance from American liberals. Did you know that the Americans were backing Satanic Mexican Freemason leftists and indigenous malcontents against the Catholic criollo factions as early as before the civil war? Because they did just that.
No doubt about the sour grapes. Some just can’t accept there are losers and winners. I’ve been meaning to research the Cristero wars more ever since I heard a ranchera song about it

The conquistadors teamed up with native tribes. It's even taught in history classes in Mexico.

Also the natives who teamed up with the Spanish to bring down the Aztecs (such as the Tlaxcalans) weren't screwed over, they actually made out very well for themselves and gained tons of privileges under the new order, even the right to self-government within their own autonomous vassal principalities under the Spanish crown. The Tlaxcalans never regretted their alliance and contributed auxiliary troops to support the Spanish in conquests elsewhere, ex. Guatemala.
