Why did the “White Man”Come to the North America? Did the Indians Welcome him?
You say that we came as legal ones…..if you want to consider the atrocities committed to the North American Indians as our coming here legal do so……The Indian did not have the concept of owning land…….The saw land as on loan by mother nature. Mother nature owned the land they did not. So when the White Man came requesting to buy land the Indian so much wanted to share all of the bounty of the land with the white man……The white man tricked the Indians into entering into written contracts of land purchase…….lands of hundreds of acres purchased with little in exchange…..was not money…….Beaver pelts,deer antlers….beads…etc were the purchasing items. The Indians not understanding the concept of a man owning land……assumed that they were giving the white man the same rights as they had to hunt fish and camp …. The white man saw the Indian as stupid and dumb and fraudulently acquired his lands….. so don’t say we came here as legal…. we came as thieves.
I guess part of your question should qualify what is “white”? Sure,the Anglo-Saxon may be an obvious example,but what of the Spanish,Italians,etc.? Also,the natives in those Eastern U.S. areas,thought they were getting a better deal,or “tricking”the Europeans,because,as you’ve stated,they felt NO man could own the land;the land owned them. In a sense,that has some truth to it,for if you pollute,destroy,etc. the land,what’s left for it to “give in return?”As another poster stated,what’s done is done. That doesn’t make those actions right or excusable. A lot of treaties were broken,as well as atrocities committed. It’s ridiculous to try to hold people today accountable for past mistakes committed by others. We live,more or less,in a pluralistic society today. The surviving tribes should be granted the same rights and privileges as all Americans. Hold ancient grudges will accomplish nothing,but accepting the commonality of all Americans as equal is a good start.
