Apparently that is false. While disease did kill some, as well as early settlers, the rest was actual murder.
Unless you could link a credible source it's hard to accept this as anything more than a mere opinion

You can start the journey of learning the truth here. There are lots of sources of info ( if you ignore Canada/ USAs own accounts in some instances because of whitewashing history) . Also the churches reporting many died of germs from early settlers is a fake after take, because in that era they had no concept of germ theory, that discovery came later.
