The thing is, the faunus are basically the same as the humans of remnant, same abilities, same technological advances, only difference is the animal characteristics and the night vision. Taking the Native American comparison, it doesn't really fit. The Native Americans had home field advantage and and a culture where hunters were top but the colonists had guns and various other advances while the Natives at first only had bows and, of course, no defence against the plagues the Europeans brought. So, honestly, the comparison doesn't work well because, on the one had (Remnant) you have two nearly equal forces in terms of basic weaponry and characteristics and on the other (earth) you got a obvious difference in fire power. They are equal in abilities now, but we do not know how things were in the beginning. Native Americans certainly learned pretty quick how to operate a firearm. My standing theory is that the Faunus were a simple people and inhabited Remnant prior to humans, but were run out of their original territories by the more technologically advanced humans.
