Yes, I know what happened in North America. I guess my wording wasn’t quite right. What happened on other continents to prevent such an extreme change. Other countries have uncontacted tribes and tribes living very closely to the way they did before colonizers came along. How did they avoid the genocides?

Yes, I am aware, and perhaps my wording was wrong. I have just noticed that on other continents there are folks living far more closely to the way they lived before colonizers came along. I understand what happened in North America, just curious as to why it didn’t happen quite as extremely in, say, South America.

Not sure if this fits here, but I have always wondered why North America doesn’t seem to have any remaining indigenous groups that live in traditional ways. How is it that other continents do, and some even have completely uncontacted tribes?
