For those who don't know, the Iwakura Mission was a Japanese diplomatic expedition in the 1870s to study what made other nations, such as the US, Britain, France, Russia, and Germany, modern, and to apply what they'd learned to Japan itself.

My idea: What if some powerful Native American nation was able to resist extermination by the US/other imperialists for long enough to make such an expedition, and apply their lessons on modernity to their own nation. How far back would the POD need to be? Would this maybe be more possible if Britain still ruled the North American colonies, limiting expansion?
