   How should the Stone Age aboriginals have more properly attempted to   
   repel the alien culture that was hard set on taking away their   
   homelands, resources, and cultures??  Under the circumstances a "mi   
   casa es su casa" welcome for the invaders couldn't be taken for   
   granted as you imply.  You talk about the nice settler family casually   
   moving into some new valley as if it were theirs and they belonged   
   there. It wasn't, and they didn't.
