That's a bizarre interpretation, but common for you. The settlers shared their bounty with the natives after they got their act together. So all prospered!By the OP's logic, the Indians should have never helped the colonists, because helping the poor and needy just encourages them to stay poor and needy.
The conservative belief, well established, is that help for the poor does more harm than good - it makes them lazy and dependent.
Eh?
