Anyone else think the Eagle Falls/Rain Falls storyline in rdr2 kind of sucks? (lemmygrad.ml)

Just feels very iffy... Seems to imply the Wapiti should just surrender, lay down their arms and let themselves be genocided. The writers seem to think the Wapiti should just let themselves face attack after attack and not do anything. Also, very weird that they try to portray US soldiers as victims. Arthur picks up the ID of a soldier and said something alongside the lines of "he's just a kid!". Imagine this kind of shit in a WWII game. Oh no, we just killed this poor, poor, poor boy from Hamburg! He liked puppies and flowers!

I can't speak to it from an indigenous perspective, but I feel like the gang and the tribe are some what paralleled in the narrative.
The Old West and both their ways of life are dying from industrialization and capitalism (and/or settler colonialism) and it is just portrayed as a tragic inevitability by the plot.
