because the white people had guns and diseases.
At first Natives did not engage in warfare. they really did not know how to fight. Why? because most native were friendly to other tribes. and there was no need for war or fighting. and yes they did not have guns, weapons of mass distructions. also it is a fact white brought diseases with them.
The Indians were constantly at war with each other. The nations fought over land mainly, and to procure slaves, and sacrifices. Read the history of Native Americans, they were forever fighting over the named reasons. Ojibwa vs Lakota, Cherokee vs Creek, Lakota vs Crow and Pawnee, etc.

∙ 7y agoYour question is a bit strange. If you think about it, the native Americans, the "indians" were the original owners of the land from time immemorial and the "Americans" (the colonists) stole it from them and killed them in vast numbers by war, and disease. Thus how can the Americans "give up" new lands to the Indians.
If there were any Justice the land should all be given back to the Native american peoples and compensation paid for the theft, massacres and oppression they have suffered. A similar story applies to the native Hawaiian people and the Australian aboriginal people.
