  Ah yes, the sugar and spice and everything nice approach to native history.
  
  That is, the infantilization of history to advance a partisan political ideology.
  
  Sorry, madam, it's is not so simple as "Natives do good things, white people do bad things", as much as that derailed narrative may suit your efforts to push towards your wanted political destinations.
  
  Unless, that is, the following incidents somehow fit your definition (!) of welcoming newcomers:
  
  - Comanche tribe attacks on white settlers routinely included lethal torture of white men and gang-rapes of white women.
  - Wampanoag warriors tortured and killed dozens of white east coast townspeople.
  - In the Okanagan, The Nlaka'pamux tribe leader tried to incite his assembled warriors to wipe out all the white men in the region, after decapitating several of them.
