Discoveries and Achievements of the American Indians What could the Europeans teach the Indians (something that the Indians did not have, but the Europeans did)?

In fact, our civilization owes a lot to the Indians. They tamed the turkey and llama, cultivated potatoes and corn, taught the world to smoke tobacco and make chocolate. They erected grandiose temples, were wonderful agricultural technicians, skilled jewelers (they admired Benvenuto Cellini and Albrecht Durer). And at the same time, they did not know the wheel, more precisely, they used the wheel only in children’s toys. Perhaps this was because there were no animals in America that could be tamed and used for riding or cultivating the land. They did not know how to smelt iron and steel, did not know the firearms that white people had. All this predetermined their defeat, although later the Indians became excellent riders and well-aimed rifle shooters.
