Are we comparing indigenous healthcare in 1780s to European healthcare in 1780s when life expectancy in UK was 39 years?
We don’t know what outcome were for the indigenous because someone killed most of them before we could ask.
The fact you assume the subpar healthcare of “modern technology”(read: settler-colonial) is better with no evidence is what [insert your favorite adjective]-supremacist looks like.
A society run on that way of thinking is exactly why indigenous peoples have worse outcomes.
