PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

This is an excerpt from the website the Americas by high school student Allie

Dubecky:

European colonization was the worst thing to ever happen

to indigenous populations in the Americas. But indigenous

people should have known better than to trust European

explorers. If they had put up more of a fight, perhaps the

European explorers would have decided not to create

colonies in the Americas.

Which statement about the credibility of this source is most accurate?
