Their accounts are unreliable as they were mostly written to prove their own racial superiority over ours, especially as they considered the Native Americans to be childlike, I'm not surprised they would interpret things so, especially amongst cultures where a birth certificate didn't exist.
You forgot the Havasupai of Arizona, in your eurocentric quotes, where the mean age of marriage for females was 18 and males 24.

good point.
his eurocentric mentality got the best of him:
Muslims will come to this country aimed at mainstreaming themselves with regard to American privilege. [This] has sometimes meant, as with other immigrants, that they have assumed the mainstream ideology regarding rights and privileges. They have therefore imbibed some of the prejudices or the stereotypes with regard to oppressed peoples in this country. And instead of alleviating them, especially with Islam as the cause of their alleviation, they have perpetuated them.
