The primary weapon used against Native Americans was religion. Religion was the basis for mass exterminations by any means possible (multiple quoted sources) through the 1960's (the forced re-education system was turned over to tribal control).
Biological weapons (the intentional spread of diseases) was the number one weapon, starvation (scorched earth policies of the USA, learned from Texas (The Texas Rangers)) was number 2, and coming in at number three was firearms.

Countries like Mexico, Peru, and Colombia have significant Mestizo populations, reflecting this rich cultural heritage. Additionally, some regions also maintain indigenous communities alongside these mixed populations.
