Let's say the colonization of North America goes differently, and instead of having one dominant colonial power on the East Coast of the US there are two or three (one creative scenario could be Basque Canada/New England [called New Navarre] and English Carolinas and Virginia with someone else in between). With more respectful policies towards native land on the part of Europeans, could tribes like the Iroquois consolidate themselves into something close to nation states, and would these states be able to or want to industrialize? The Iroquois iOTL controlled much of what would become the Steel Belt, now the Rust Belt, so geographically their state would be in a good geographical setting to industrialize, but would they be able to reconcile the necessities of industrial production with traditional values of protecting and preserving the natural environment? How and where would industrialization occur without the development of infrastructure like the Erie Canal or Water Level Route through the heart of Iroquois lands to provide a link between the Old West and the Northeast?
