They sure took to them, though.

There’s a character in a novel I love, an old Cherokee tribal leader, who says that in his judgement the only three worthwhile things the whites brought with them were the horse, the repeating rifle, and frilly underwear for women.

One of the plains tribes, Pawnee IIRC, went through one of the periodic revitalization spasms. The prophet of the movement had the faithful dispose of all the contaminating culture items they got from the Whites. They killed off their dogs on a mistaken bit of enthnology.
