Basically what I’m saying is a lot of Native tribes were with the shyts and didnt lose militarily. They either were defeated by disease, forced to surrender because of starvation (the US government would target their food sources aka the buffalo), massive immigration of settlers and targeting of their families that couldn’t easily escape.
People think of groups like the Pilgrims coming originally to some untouched land, but when the Pilgrims landed most of the Native Americans were already dead due to diseases that fishermen, fur traders, and explorers had brought to them. Plymouth Rock was a wasteland - Squanto was literally the last survivor of his tribe - and initially they found more graveyards than inhabited villages.
Even the ones that did lose militarily, it was almost always after disease had destroyed their ranks first. If you read the histories then part of the story that most people don't even talk about is that the major groups like the Aztecs were
ravaged by disease before the Europeans had a chance against them - and even then the Europeans had to take advantage of succession issues and chaos (often caused by stable leadership having been taken out by the diseases), aligning with weaker groups to take out the strongest ones and then double-crossing those groups later one.
Guns in the 1500s weren't the advantage we think they were. Guns were primitive at that time, they were far less accurate than a skilled archer and they reloaded far slower. They intimidated the Natives at first but they got over it quickly. Steel swords and armor were definitely an advantage, but they could be defeated by superior strategy which the Natives often had. If they hadn't had diseases and if they had understood the full ramifications of European intentions from the beginning, they could have held them off.
The Comanche went toe to toe with the Spanish, Mexican and US governments for nearly 200 years

So if we get to see some Natives get busy with a predator I’m all for it. I don’t think it’s going to be as big a wash as y’all saying. Predator might get his ass scalped
And like I said earlier, there's no point for a Predator to just come to a less equipped foe and use his full arsenal. When he went against the Japanese gangster he went sword to sword. So there's the possibility that he's nerfed himself to the competition here as well.
