The Europeans did not want to continue down a this road of war with the Native Americans so in turn the Europeans wished to please them, and at some points were even spoiled more than there own settlers (Document E). The pampering of the Native Americans did not go over well with the European settlers and therefore the settlers retaliated with resentment and the killing of Native
Jamestown's relationship with Native Americans The relationship between Jamestown Colonist and the Native Americans was very strange. They had a love/hate relationship. Sometimes the Natives wanted to trade with the Colonist but other times, they just wanted to kill the Colonist. The Jamestown Colonist needed a lot of help when it came to trade for food and supplies. What the Jamestown Colonist failed to realize is that they when they decided to move to Virginia that the land was already occupied by many Indian tribes.
Analysis of "The Short History of Indians in Canada" In Thomas King's "A Short History of Indians in Canada", he clams that the natives used to live closely to the natural before their lands turned into developments of modern society and they could not adopt the modern life style along with these developments. In King’s article, the author subsequently mocked the people who stereotyping the natives with symbols and a great deal of ironies. He is not only make fun of people who have bias towards natives, but also stating that is extremely unfair to treat other human beings like animals. For instance, in a large part of Indian culture, they worship animals and believed that the strength and abilities of these animals can be granted to protect
Despite the documentary many Europeans were killed during these massacres as well as Indians. The director not showing the Europeans being killed is a form of selection of detail. This takes away our traditional views of Indians from the old Cowboy and Indian movies where Indians kidnapped women and children and the white people were there savior. When the Europeans settled in America they tried to recreate Britain in this land but the climate, plants and animals were totally different so they were upsetting the natural ecosystem of the land. Whereas this is what the Indians had successfully not done by harvesting only what they need.
They also offered to join as allies against neighboring tribes. But conflicts arose over land disputes and other disagreements, and the English ended up angering the Powhattans. The English now viewed this tribe, and other tribes around them as a mere obstacle in the way of their plans for settlement. War broke out and the Indians were eventually driven from their native lands and forced to move farther west. The English were now left to fend for themselves with no allies, just
They also did not know God the way the settlers did, as a result they were a misunderstood people in their ways of life. Along with that the early Europeans thought of themselves as being far more advanced in terms of culture and possessed arrogance in how they viewed the Indians. It is clear to me that Ben Franklin recognized their social behavior in which they understood proper etiquette such as (“the Indian rules of politeness and not to answer a public proposition the same day that it is made”)
He also learns that his grandfather was a dominating, immoral and scheming. David and his parents went face to face with dealing with the consequences of Frank’s crime. Racial prejudice means any action practice or belief that reflects the racial world view the ideology that humans are divided into separate groups because of their skin colour. The American Indians are racially prejudiced by most of the people in Montana, they are going through a hard life and living in a desolate reservation; also their lands are probably the least valuable compare to other regions. David eventually learns of the racial discriminations such as not allowing “an athlete like Ronnie” to attend college.
Indigenous Cultures After viewing the video clipping I’ve concluded that Wade Davis is a National Geographic advocate and explorer of the indigenous cultures that continue to exists in this world today and how we are losing rare and valuable elements of our global heritage. . In his speech, I found the message to be one of comparison and explanation of the many cultures with different practices. He touched bases on several of the cultures that he has studied all over the word, covering a wide variety of topics and people. He reminded us that foreign lands are not always foreign; but instead, somebody's home and they share the same basic desires as the rest of the world, specifically talking about the different ways some of the tribes live in their native countries.
The building of railroads and towns were built on lands considered holy by the Natives Americans. Farming interfered with the buffalo herds. The buffalo was of great so importance to these tribes. These factors led to an overall hatred of the American settlers. The settlers came in with the belief that they were settling a "new land," and failed to recognize or accept the Native Americans rights to their land, culture, and way of life.
From are class discussions and readings I have a understanding of what the Europeans thought about the native Americans but not so much what the native Americans thought of the Europeans. In the eyes of the arrogant Europeans the Indians were uncivilized savages with no ethics or morals, not even human in nature and especially weren’t to be treated as humans. They thought they could to do whatever they wanted because they were much superior to them and they were just animals living on that land. That is probably why they treated them so badly and did horrendous things and believed they could do anything and it was countable. Native Americans were in awe at first seeing the technology the Europeans possessed such as steel weapons, guns, mirrors, and the one that I can only envision certainly took their breath away a sea vessel full of Europeans crashing into their sand.
