A Vanished People One of history’s greatest ironies concerns the American treatment of Indians‚ particularly those who once inhabited the New English Colonies. While Nathaniel Philbrick’s Mayflower depicts these Native Americans as essential to both the Pilgrims and Colonist’s survivals‚ it also fails to elaborate on how utterly meaningless the role of these people became over the course of two centuries. What was once a large‚ prosperous nation of self-sufficient individuals became a mere smudge

Native American beliefs are deeply rooted in their culture. They didn’t have one single religion‚ but they did have many beliefs. They believed in a mysterious force in nature and in spirits that were higher than human beings and influenced their lives. People depended on them when they searched for food or when people were ill. They believed EVERYTHING is sacred from the largest mountain to the smallest plant and animal.

these Native Americans were met with Christopher Columbus‚ who believed that he had reached the Indies. Columbus called these people “Indians” and the misnomer stuck (Kennedy and Cohen 14). Countless explorers delved further into the continent after Columbus‚ who made one of the greatest blunders in history. Although Columbus did not actually find a faster route to the Indies‚ he did spur Europeans from the Old World to venture westward into the New World (Kennedy and Cohen 14-20). The people of both

I believe that Native Americans were going to be exposed to European disease and die even if they weren’t enslaved by the Spanish. This misfortune allowed the Spaniards access to valuable Native American resources. These resources would allow the settlers to live successfully in the Americas. “Gather and give to us what they abound in and we greatly
