The white Americans didn’t understand any of this and in their society everyone has to do what they’re told by their law which was made by the Government. For Indians ambushing an enemy and stealing their horse was a great thing to do. They thought by doing this they will become ‘big’ and respected within their tribe.

Some Indian merchants had realized that these trades were unfair so only sold good furs for what they believed was goo manufactured goods. Though there weren’t disputes between the French and the Indians, land disputes would break out between the Indians over hunting grounds. This trade made for a far less stressful relation between the French and the indigenous people of the ‘New World’. Trade did have its faults for the Indians.

Many of these acts proved to be failures, and left conflicts unresolved. The Allotment Act of 1887 was passed to provide each family of tribal members 160 acres of land in hopes for assimilation with the non-Native Americans. This act ended in failure with poor planning, and no effort with teaching Natives how to cultivate land like White homesteaders in order to survive. Later, this resulted in many White landowners taking possession of these lands. The few Native Americans that managed to keep their land, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), a federal government committee, served as trustee and held the legal titles over these lands.

Neither spoke the others’ language and chaos ensued and wreaked havoc on the First Nations People, who are still dealing with those repercussions today. The Europeans wanted the natives to become “more white and less Indian.” Conquerors of any land try to stamp out the local languages to reduce the cultural longing for the previous structures and customs of the past.
