The concept of the "Noble Savage",,,,

was very popular in 18th Century literature. The Indians were only Indians because Columbus got lost, and thought he'd found the mythical passage to India when he landed on American soil... now that's cultural imperialism for you!
Consider too that England and the English were only so named as Roman soldiers took a fancy to the warrior women of the British Isles and called them "Angles" (Angels), and that became "Angleland", Land Of the Angels, so even white folks got the Royal makeover tho' somewhat earlier...
