Can I chime in as someone who's actually a teacher and has taught 1st graders about Native American's and pioneers? It's pretty easy to impart on even 1st graders that westward expansion came at the expense of Native Americans. Yes, even their fragile minds can recognize and understand that the NA's already lived on the land that Americans were claiming and being force-ably removed from/killed for it. The only "whitewashing" that goes on is that the lessons are really simple so no, we don't go into numbers and detail about how they were slaughtered, but they do understand that the pioneers were generally the "bad" people and Native American aggression was mostly justifiable.
