I'd say you'd probably have to be more specific about the tribe, time and
place.
And I suspect that at _some_ point in time, _some_ native tribes did attempt
(and were quite possibly successful) total elimination of their enemies
including men, women and children.
There is one tribe in Eastern Washington that has a long-time tradition of
never engaging in warfare even in self-defense. (The Sanpoil)
