would have evolved if imperialistic Euro-christians had not disrupted this cultural evolution. Without the existence altering Judeo-Christian tradition prevalent in all European based cultures of the time diverting the flow of adaption to more natural conditions, a whole different type of widespread ethos would most likely be prevalent among the people of the "Americas" today. The profoundly different ways that people of these two very distinct cultures experienced the universe was, and in many cases to some extent is, like existing in almost completely different realities.
The long term isolation of these cultures from one another may have even evolved some sensory abilities unique to the people of the different cultures, respectively. Different ways of perceiving the universe.

It is my understanding that Custer made a huge tactical error in attempting to terrorize and prey on the women and children while the men of the camps were engaged on another front. Custer's apparent strategy was to hold the women and children hostage, making it more difficult for the men defending their homes, families, and horses to repel the predator attack.
The defenders seemingly had already figured out it was a very real possibility that Custer would use this strategy, and when they became aware that the predators were going after the women and children, many of the men turned back and to protect their wives and children, and had to slaughter the predators to prevent their families from being further terrorized.
Ironic that Custer and several members of his family were killed at the Little Big Horn, while attempting to savagely terrorize and prey on innocent, defenseless women and children.
