There was no established government here. Natives often killed each other, took slaves and sold their own children as property. Just STFU raetard.

Americans often kill each other now. We took AND brought slaves.

Oops! Shoulda quit while you were behind.
Your historical ignorance is showing again.
Before colonization, Native American and Indigenous societies across the Americas featured highly sophisticated, diverse governance systems ranging from participatory consensus democracies and confederacies to centralized chiefdoms and imperial states. Power was largely decentralized, communal, and rooted in kinship, balancing individual liberty with collective responsibility.
The Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy: Bound by the Great Law of Peace, five (later six) nations in the Northeast shared a federalist model combining regional self-government with a central council.
The Muscogee (Creek) Confederacy: Utilized a town-based system with specialized civil and military leaders, featuring restorative judicial processes aimed at healing community rifts rather than punitive isolation.
Pueblo Communities: Operated through cooperative, consensus-driven systems in the Southwest, often integrating spiritual and civic leadership via respected elders and societal councils.
Mesoamerican and Andean Empires: Societies like the Aztec and Inca developed large-scale imperial states with complex bureaucracies, centralized taxation, extensive road networks, and stratified administrative governance.
Thank you for the opportunity to teach you actual American history.
"The "governments" you speak of consisted of a chief and a couple elders"
Oh...so you're moving the goalposts to re-define "government".
Got it.
