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?

There are two separate issues you bring up--living close to nature with respect, and fighting others...my understanding of native American culture is they did very much live in union with the nature they relied on and were a part of, a different view than the Europeans, who saw nature more as a source of fuel for industrialization, as ours to use for our own purposes...but there is also evidence that native Americans did in fact fight each other at times...sometimes the solution was for some to simply move somewhere else, but they probably did fight at times...the concept of property was also different for Europeans and Native Americans.
