The aboriginal peoples of North America had their lives disrupted and totally changed when the European settlers arrived. Is this a true statement? Explain

This statement is completely true, the native peoples to the Americas were introduced to diseases such as smallpox which wiped out a majority of the populations. While battles and such took place this was a huge cause of change because of the effectiveness. Positively, however, the natives were also introduced to the trading of European goods such as foods, guns, and livestock, and particularly horses.
