Are there any peaceful tribes or civilizations that ever lived in harmony with nature and never fought wars?

When I was in school my teacher told me that Native Americans and Native Australians were peaceful and lived in harmony with the Earth until the Europeans arrived there, is this true or false? I've heard that Christian Europeans view nature as disposable and should be subdued yet indigenous tribes view the whole Universe as sacred, the earth is considered their mother and the sky their father.

Is this true or not?

Native Americans were not one size fits all. There were many different cultures. Some were more peaceful, some were more warlike. Living with or against nature comes down to capabilities and resources to enact change. I'm sure native Australians were similar.

@ViciDraco Aboriginals can trace their origins back 30,000 years. Yes they are or we’re definitely a peaceful people living in harmony and nurturing their Mother Earth so that she may continue to provide for them. There are many different Aboriginal tribes around Australia.
