Interesting that the Natives didn't die from the Russian colonial presence in Alaska and they actually worked together.

Anglo-Saxon blood must be riddled with disease and bad DNA?

Nah. Just failure to follow basic hygeine they knew from their own Bible. E.g. Jewish communities, who followed instructions like "You must have a place outside the camp to go and relieve yourself" as opposed to dumping chamber pots out the window into the street (Deuteronomy 23:12) were not affected by the Black Plague. Naturally, the Europeans attributed this to "witchcraft".

The natives worked together with many colonists for a century. But there was a lot of treachery, from Trail of Tears to Smallpox Blankets to Whiskey deals (natives more susceptible to alcoholism), as well as tragic misunderstandings like the sale of Long Island.
