That's precisely what Italy's "Lega Nord" uses as a talking point.



"They underwent immigration. Now they live in reservations. Think about it."

While I agree in principle, it's worth noting that the Native American cultures would have been destroyed even if they all banded up on the first white man to step foot on their shore and engaged in fierce resistance right off the bat. It would have just taken a little longer. It was more a case of war than an immigration.

On the other hand, it's fun to imagine what the world would be like had this fierce resistance eventually caused the European colonist nations to give up and recognize the Native American tribes as some kind of state to have diplomatic relations with. Of course, the tribes were very fragmented and far from a single diplomatic entity, but one can fantasize.
