The worst thing about the Indians besides their cruelty was the fact that they were actually pretty intelligent (as far as savages go). They were a ruthless enemy that took hundreds of years for americans and mexicans to subjugate, and sometimes they were able to win at that. That's the only part of the "noble savage" myth that I'll give them credit for, they had some damned tenacity and willpower to them. They also aided the confederacy, so I'll give them some points for that.

Other than that, they were some of the most barbaric people who ever lived. They give African tribes a run for their money. If you pit injuns against bantus, the bantus would be wiped off the face of the earth in a few decades.
