Answer 1

The statement is generally considered true. Native American groups were descendants of different peoples with diverse cultures, languages, and histories, leading to various tribal identities and a lack of overarching unity in their responses to European colonization. Each tribe often had its own interests, alliances, and conflicts with neighboring tribes, which complicated efforts for a unified resistance against European encroachment.
