Natives Vs Iroquois Settlers
When the settlers arrived they were shocked to see natives on a land they planned to call their own. The explorers refused to adapt to the natives way of living it almost seemed as they wanted to be in control of everything around them including the way children were taught what languages would be spoken and in what god they grew up believing in. the settlers were more about business and the native was all about being one with the land and living off the earth beautiful creation. The Natives adapted to the settlers beliefs and way of living but they would use their own symbols.
Iroquois is known for the natives langue, not necessarily a tribe there were five or more tribes associated with the group "Iroquise" there for could not give it one

    Of all of the perspectives given to me, I believe that the apache tribe had the most reasonable and justified perspective. The apache only resorted to violence when they were avenging a tribe member that was murdered, or when they were trying to defend themselves, unlike the settlers,O’odham tribe, Mexican Americans, and U.S government who would kill simply because they didn’t like them.…

    The Iroquois group is a near perfect model of the diverse native tribes in North America and how they create their own structures of life. The five chiefdoms or nations that are a part of the group are the Mohawks, Oneidas, Onondagas, Cayugas, and Senecas. They were known as the Iroquois Five Nation Confederacy, and had joined together during the nineteenth century during a period of constant violence. They joined together because of this because they did not want to be a part of the violence, thus making it warfare outlawed amongst its’ members. They separated themselves into a confederacy or culture.…

    In the early 1800s, White settlements were expanding westward. This threatened the Cherokee land which was located in the Southeastern part of the United States. This left the Cherokee with a big decision to make for their entire tribe. Would they relocate West ,or stay for the White settlements to invade where they call home. After all, the Cherokee had owned the land for over 10,000 years. It was not the United States’ land to take. This is why many of the Cherokee Nation felt the need to stay. Others wanted to move because they felt that if they did not, then the United States territory would override the Cherokee customs and they would have to follow United States laws. Clearly the best chance of survival for the Cherokee was to stay in…

    How can 168 Spanish soldiers defeat an army of 80,000 Native Americans? Well in the year 1532, a Spanish conquistador known as Francisco Pizarro invaded the New World. He quickly got into a conflict with the largest state of the New World and managed to capture the absolute monarch, Atahuallpa. Francisco charged a ransom for his release and even after the ransom was given, he killed Atahuallpa. They were defeated and this cycle was continued by more Spanish conquistadors until the Native Americans were completely defeated. The Europeans were able to defeat the Native Americans because of advanced weapons/armor, agile horses, and the transmitting of fatal diseases.…

    The Iroquois, or Haudenosaunee, which means “people of the longhouse”, were a great nation that was made up of six smaller nations, the Seneca, Cayuga, Oneida, Onondaga, Mohawk, and the Tuscarora (The Canadian Encyclopedia). The Iroquois was formed when five nations, the Seneca, Cayuga, Oneida, Onondaga, and Mohawk signed a Great Law of Peace, which is considered to be both a political foundation and the root for the Iroquois society in general (The Canadian Encyclopedia). It was not until 1722, when the Tuscarora moved north from Virginia and North Carolina that they joined the confederacy as well (The Canadian Encyclopedia). This nation is located south of the Great lakes in modern day New York State (The Canadian Encyclopedia). They spoke…

    The Iroquois Confederacy, an association of six linguistically related tribes in the northeastern woodlands, was a sophisticated society of some 5,500 people when the first white explorers encountered it at the beginning of the seventeenth century. The 1990 Census counted 49,038 Iroquois living in the United States, making them the country's eighth most populous Native American group. Although Iroquoian tribes own seven reservations in New York state and one in Wisconsin, the majority of the people live off the reservations. An additional 5,000 Iroquois reside in Canada, where there are two Iroquoian reservations. The people are not averse to adopting new technology when it is beneficial, but they want to maintain their own traditional identity.…

    At the start of the seventeenth century, Native Americans greeted European settlers with much excitement. They regarded settlers as strange, but were interested to learn about the new tools and weapons Europeans brought with them. The native people were more than accommodating to the settlers, but as time passed, Europeans took advantage of their generosity. “Once these newcomers disembarked and began to feel their way across the continent, they forever altered the course and pace of native development.” Native Americans and Europeans faced many conflicts due to their vast differences in language, religion and culture. European settlers’ inability to understand and respect Native Americans lead to many struggles that would eventually erupt into violent warfare.…
