An idea diffused in modern movies and books that primitive and rural people are always peaceful and live in harmony with nature, void of cruelty and greed, before the cruel white man came ruining everything. This has been desmantled by historian many times as native americans (the most used example) engaged in warfare and even genocide on each other long before the europeans arrived.
It's actually just another argument to make the white man feels sorry for being civilized and it's supposed to make us believe that non-white people are peaceful by nature.

"Why do you call native americans noble savages?"
"Because they were a peaceful people that lived in harmony with the earth and the animals. America was a paradise before the europeans arrived!"
"Actually no. It has been documented that the tribes were constantly at war with each other and engaged in torture, genocide and slavery. Get that Avatar-bullshit notion out of your head!"
