rename the posts u build there into schools, then u build schoolds for the natives. then happy lucasain, or is that the "european" view.

Historically Europeans did just what you said. So to be true to history the outpost could take on the look of a school. The truth of history would not offend me.
However those schools did not help the state of native Americans. The Europeans saw themselves as civliizeing and chiristianizeing the native Savages. They would take native children from ther parents and send them to boarding schools where they were not allowed to speak their language or practice their religion. This was a way of destroying thier culture, that did not work.
I'm not talking about being PC I'm talking about being historically correct with a little imagination thrown in.

I am interested in how the Native model will work. Will they initially resist? What happens if the enemy offers a better deal?

So am I. I am interested in seeing NA's portrayed in a way that is not degradeing to myself or my ancestors who are of that description. Any protrayl like that would have a variety of demeanors for the tribes. Some wouldresist the building of an outpost to thier last and NOT ally with you for any reason. Some would seek alliance with you first. Most would be ambivlaent or manipulative. That is they would ally with whoever was weak in order to prolong thier own existence and further thier interest.
Historically various native tribes have switched sides from one european power to the other to try and get the Europeans fighitng each other to the benefit of the natives.
