History books were primarily written by non natives and therefore written from their own point of view. Additionally, the Indian, generally, was not viewed as anything more than an animal until the very late 1800's when they were finally declared Humans under the law. Therefore their contributions became inconsequential. That is changing as more Native Americans are writing their own histories.
History is always written by the victor. There is not total exclusion of Native Americans from history, however their perspectives are not often represented. And perspectives of these Peoples has changed over time.
In the first years of East Coast contact, Native Americans were necessary for the survival of the colonists. There were grave misunderstandings of attitudes of the native cultures because of differences between them and those who came from Europe. As time progressed, tribes became allies and enemies and everything in between. Also, Native Americans are not one people with one culture throughout the contiguous United States.
Often, that which is not understood or considered praise-worthy is excluded from another culture's history except as a cautionary tale.
