There are too many thoughts in your post to really answer very well.

North America was a very big place, with wide plains. While you believe the buffalo would have disappeared, I am not sure of it. Perhaps, but I think there was a more natural process going on than we have now. If game had become scarce, human populations would have dropped. Driving buffalo off cliffs takes a lot of cooperation and a large group. If that dwindled, the buffalo would have time to breed in greater numbers, and everything would be back in balance.

It is really a theoretical argument, because the white man came and the Indian era ended. I don't place contemporary Indians on a pedestal, incidentally. I just think we need to leave them alone and not judge them harshly, since we have already acted so horribly and destructively against them.

I think Indian engineers and doctors are great. I do think there must be a difference between Canada and the United States, though. The Indians in law school here end up fully qualified to practice law. I think a whole lot of Indian attorneys are good because I hope they sue us for all we've got. I think the white people who immigrated to the Americas were totally evil (even though my ancestors were among them).

I could not open your art websites no matter what I tried. Too bad--I love art.
