Also not all native societies were hunter-gatherers. I mean the Inca, Aztec, Mayans were all bronze age civilizations and had massive cities. They could have easily driven the Spanish back into the sea even though they were up against a small number of gunpowder and horse mounted Conquistadors. They just had the unfortunate fate of having less immunity to the diseases Europeans had which is what really took them out of the game.
If they did have immunity, who knows what could have happened. North America colonization may have followed similar patterns in Asia and Africa, where they eventually won their independence and kicking out whitey.
THere's a famous book called
Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond which posits that Geography is Destiny. An East-West orientated continent like Eurasia had the ability to cross-pollinate different crops, animals, (and diseases) setting civilizations there up for success in the future with agriculture and industrialization.
Whereas continents that are North-South orientated like Africa and the Americas, there's less compatibility in biomes and diversity in domesticated animals. You can't ride a Zebra or Llama into battle, for instance. You can't really grow corn and cassava to the same quantities of wheat and rice to feed hungry civilizations and empires.
