In a few cases, sure. In many other cases the Indians were numerous and
strong enough to push white settlers out of their tribal lands, and even
held off outright military invasion for a while at least.

Columbus's arrival sure did change the Indians way of life. For instance,
the Great Plains Horse Culture, wasn't. Besides all the disease, the
horse came back over with the white man. I've always been curious about
Indian history before the white man arrived, but there doesn't seem to be
much written on it. At least, that I have been able to find.

This doesn't fit the bill, but you might still find it interesting:

"A Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies", by Bartolomé De Las
Cassas
Written in 1552. The author (IIRC) was a priest who accompanied Spanish
invaders.
