Countless scholars deem that the fur trade crooked the Natives into addicts, badly pursuing European commodities, however, it is imperative to distinguish that within this exchange they were able to acquire European weapons and thus shield themselves. In trade for these European exports the Native Americans fabricated the skins of many animals including some spiritually revered once like deer and bears. However, the revenues and need for these animals was noticeably inferior to that of the cherished beaver. The beaver’s fur was well thought out to be more treasured than that of other animals due largely to its two coatings. It comprises of a course external layer as well as a smooth, diminutive interior.…
The cultural interactions between the Europeans and Native Americans shaped the European culture in the New World positively in many ways, a few of them being food supply, trade and hospitality. The Native Americans were very friendly and helpful when the Europeans came over. They began to shower the Europeans in gifts of food and goods in hopes for the same in return. The Native Americans not only offered some of their own food supply they also gave them tips and taught them how to grow crops successfully. Due to this kindness the Europeans were able to control and create a sustainable food supply. The Natives also traded some of their goods with the Europeans; this gave the Europeans the resources they needed to survive and to create a trade…
Iroquois’ culture and way of life resembles “real world” realities. The Iroquois’ attitudes towards nature are sincere. Myths like these elaborate and confine with the conflict between the differences and similarities of the world. For example in nature there are animals that rely on other species to live. If a species were to extinguish, other species would soon die…
Trade between the Native Americans and the white settlers was a common occurrence, and in the early days of the United States, was encouraged by the government in order to foster peaceful relations between the two. Trading proved to be mutually beneficial to both groups, introducing them both to new technologies and forming new words in their languages taken from each other’s. Through these trades, the settlers gained and learned of snowshoes, canoes, tobacco, and corn, while the natives…
1. This is false characterization because several tribes of Native Americans, such as the Incas and the Mayas, constructed complex political and agricultural systems; as well as developing their own written language and numerical system. Although some lesser known tribes of Native Americans were indeed nomadic, such as the Aztecs, by the time the Europeans had settled nomadic tribes were scarce.…

The differences between European and Native American culture plays an important role in how two interact. European’s whole society is built on the idea of “private ownership”, the more land someone had was equated with that person’s status and wealth. (Lecture 1, slide 20) They have a very distinct division on what is sacred and secular, they even believed that the secular world was there to serve them. (Lecture 1 slide 21) Native Americans had a completely different perspective.…
The Europeans first started building settlements in North America in the 1500s, bringing not only germ cover blankets, but also new art techniques. Before contact with the Europeans the art style of the Native Americans consisted of carved totem poles, pottery decoration to show lineage, and complex paintings on stone. Imagery was used as a symbol of sacred events, rituals, and natural forces, which could include everything from celestial bodies and weather to the indigenous animals of the region. Animals were often used as symbolism to show reverence for their special traits, especially the bison, which was a staple of their lives. The Europeans brought alternative ways to live that influenced not only how art was made but how the Native Americans lived their life, the Navajo learned to keep sheep and to weave their wool, to make colorful blankets. Other Native Americans began experimenting with painting in oil, using European art styles and sometimes in their own traditional style.…
As the Europeans arrived to the Americas they seen the land as very prosperous. They wanted the land for power and riches. These lands were full of valuable resources such as rich soils, timber, gold silver, and precious metals. Due to the Seasonal Cycle in England it was very difficult to cultivate crops. The Europeans had to constantly work extremely hard to break the soil, they had to wait for the ground to thaw and dry before they even began this process. Therefore the lack of agricultural quality, did not allow them to grow enough crops to feed their people. Many Europeans women and daughters were malnourished so the men in the family could eat enough. Since there was a lack of jobs and work was slow all family members had to work together still not supplying them with money and food. Another reason the Europeans wanted to colonize the New world was because of religion. Everyone had to belong to a church, there were churches in every community. The Roman Catholic Church possessed power, and discipline over them. They hoped to escape this religious persecution. The Catholic Church became very wealthy, they taxed the people of England, even if they did not believe in this religion. Many high members of the church used this for personal gain. Colonists wanted a place to start new where they can practice religion freely based on their beliefs. From what I have read and researched I believe there was unanimity of what the English Colonists wanted. They wanted to begin new lives with their families. Colonists wanted, prosper from trading all goods the Americas had to offer. They were able to establish their freedom of religion, and crops to grow. The Colonists got what they wanted, even if it did destroy the Native Americans.…

They would trade their goods with other native tribes. Native Americans hoped to incorporate Europeans into this system. For a while, natives did trade skins and hides, receiving wampum, sacred blue and white shell beads, in exchange from the settlers. “Exchange is meant not only the trading of material goods but also exchanges across community lines of marriage partners, resources, labor, ideas, techniques and religious practices.” Natives generously shared their belongings, supplies, food, and the skills necessary for survival in the New World with the settlers. In exchange, settlers gave Natives disease, death and robbed them of their…
