The mnemonic device I use to remember the spelling is: What did the ant queen say to her army? "Lie, u ten ants!"

We often hear about the atrocities that occurred after Columbus' arrival, and of course don't want to diminish the truth - but are there any positive historical accounts of early European explorers interacting, working, or living with indigenous people of the Americas (beyond the "First Thanksgiving" narrative), that could help bridge the current divide between people who disagree on the true narrative? How are explorers like Leif Erickson viewed differently among the Native community when compared to controversial figures like Christopher Columbus?
