In large part but there are many other factors.
An intriguing example are the Vikings of Greenland. The Vikings shared the territory with the native people of Greenland for several hundred years. Yet despite the Viking's greater technology (metallurgy, agriculture, sailing vessels, etc) the Vikings died out after about 400 hundred years, while the native people continued to thrive, though they both had access to the same resources and were affected by the same climate.
