Sandia labs researchers are using science (specifically gas chromatography and mass spectrometry) to analyze Native American pots from the American Southwest. The 'belief', not facts based, of archeologists that Europeans introduced fermented beverages aka alcohol to the Native Americans is probably faulty. Historical evidence for fermented beverages exist for surrounding native groups around the North American continent. Further information is now found in many places around the internet. look for scientific investigations.

Most Europeans considered the Native Americans to be?
Before the advent of the 20th century most Europeans considered Native Americans to be savages. This, of course, was not the case.
What killed many American Indians?
The people who came from Europe to the New World. They killed the Native Americans with their foreign diseases and their random slayings. They also forced the Native Americans off of their land and that starved them.
Why were Europeans less vulnerable to most diseases than native amercians?
They weren't - they were just less vulnerable to the European diseases. Native Americans had never encountered those diseases before, so they had no natural defenses against them.
Were eskimos really native Americans?
Native Americans are any people group who lived in North America before the Europeans came here. Eskimos lived in northern regions. Of course, many think they arrived here by crossing from Russia but that was thousands of years before Columbus arrived.
Who reached the America before Europeans?
Most likely, only their ancestors, who came to the Americas across the Bering land bridge from Asia. And it also possible that Pacific Islanders made their way to the Americas prior to those who traversed the "bridge" from Siberia to what is now Alaska. Clovis has been discovered in America, chiefly on the Eastern Coast. Clovis predates the Native American races by thousands of years. Additionally, some current archaeological digs may be suggesting someone "older."
