On the other were a long series of difficult, skirmishes and wars, which almost invariably resulted in an Indian defeat and further loss of land.

Those Indians who traded initially had significant advantage over rivals who did not. Some friendly natives were no longer…

    The period known as the Indian-European contact was unarguably an extremely difficult time for the Indians, who experienced massive lifestyle changes. One major change experienced was a reduction in their population, as result of the foreign diseases brought in. This reduction in turn affected how well they could defend themselves from the outsiders trying to take control of their territories. Thus, most were eventually forced to change their homestead locations. The Indians also experienced a change in how they were perceived by the many different nationalities that wanted to take over their land.…

    Members of each nation copied relationships with Indians in many different ways. Few Europeans considered Native Americans as equals, because of differences in religion, agricultural practice, housing, dress, and other characteristics.

So, economic gain and religion were the two factors that most affected the dynamics of European and indigenous American relationships.…

    During the 16th and 17th centuries, when the Europeans started to come over to the new world, they discovered a society of Indians that was strikingly different to their own. To understand how different, one must first compare and contrast some of the very important differences between them, such as how the Europeans considered the Indians to be extremely primitive and basic, while, considering themselves civilized. The Europeans considered that they were model societies, and they thought that the Indians society and culture should be changed to be very similar to their own.…
