Did Native Americans have stories about the die-off when Europeans arrived?

Anyone ever hear of any?

1. The die off?

To what do you refer? The die off of Mega-fauna? Of the Native American population due to diseases introduced by early Euro explorers? Yes N.A. people have always had stories about everything that happened in their cultures; the arrogant predominantly Christian and/or monetarily exploitive Euros never cared to listen to them.

2. Odd isn't how we never learned that in school?

It’s was righteous Pilgrims and the venture capitalist Virginia Company who blessed the natives with their superior European being that was so wonderful.

They also didn’t teach that the Spaniards had been in St. Augustine for 55 years already. The mass die-off was a result of germs they and French trappers to the North brought with them.

Plymouth Rock failed miserably and Jamestown barely survived starvation….oh and there was some homosexuality there too.

3. White people, mostly men, have written much of our history. In reality, it's the history of white men only.

Only in more recent decades have women and minorities been included.

4. I meant of the Native Americans due to diseases introduced by early Euro explorers
