Vikings, Spanish, Aztec, Inuit, French or English,.. somewhere along the line, someone would have noticed there was a whole lot of room here.

All the improvements you mention, except wood and gravel were concepts brought to you by Europe.

what killing each other over resources? constant civil war? yes, Africa is a fine example to follow. I think the native portion of the population needs to see that they do have more perks than the rest of us, I do admit we (europeans) did some pretty low shit to the natives (ie, residential schools, lopsided treaties, etc...) but perhaps you would have preferred a war between the European Nations and your selves? Arrows vs. Rifles, Rocks vs. Cannon. Remember North America lost a huge portion of its native population due to disease, do you really think you would have won? Not a chance.

30 000 years and the best they could come up with was a neolithic culture in Meso and South America. Not bloody likely.

[Real_indian]

Just because we were hampered economically by, homeless, ungrateful, (European) rejects. That were welcomed with open arms, I might ADD !!! Its all hypothecal. It coulda been a different story. Your guess is as good as your fart. As always. For the last 500 years.

No, you wouldn't. You had no domesticable beasts of burden. You had no good domesticable grains. You didn't have the foundation for an industrial civilization.

That's not a failing, or a criticism, it's just a historical fact. It was inevitable that a people with more advanced technology would have found North America and taken it over. Does that excuse the treatment the indigenous peoples were given? Hell no. But industrial, mechanized civilization was bound to be imported, not developed on its own here.
