Yes absolutely. I do think that the “this huge habitable continent had nobody living on it when we came here” is a bit much, though. I guess it could be an oversight but I would also suspect it is a bit of poetry to have an untrustworthy narrative about how nobody knows if any indigenous people were there when settlers arrived, and maybe it was empty, just waiting to be colonized.
