Native American Relations & Puritan Settlers

When the first British settlers tried to make a small settlement on Roanoke Island, they were not the early New World 10 year colonists, and both the Spaniards and the French for their respective countries He insisted that he had a mass of North America. England is ready to participate in the competition. For land and wealth. Britain is unfamiliar with this new world, but the colonization of other lands is not a foreign concept to them (see empiricism). When the British landed on North Carolina, they knew little about local people and understood little about their culture. But Roanoke leaders know that locals are necessary if they want to survive on new land. This set the tone for every attempt of British colonial rule.

In the early days of the development of the new world, the relationship between local people and newcomers was friendly. Since the indigenous American culture regards trade as a means of deterring two tribes and strengthening general cooperation, the tribe targets settlers for food, clothes, evacuation in exchange for metal tools such as knives and axes Provide a place. Native Americans also exchange knowledge and teach settlers self-sufficiency

As the European settlement grew and began to infringe more and more Indian lands, the relationship became more intimate. As UK dependence drops, it is even harder to overcome cultural differences. Many American Indians died of diseases of Europe such as smallpox and influenza, and there is no immunity. The British started doing devils in line with the guidance of Spanish and French colonists to allow their actions (slave tribes, land stealing, women's take away) as small things. Excessive hunting game with concubine)

Interestingly, the British military ignored their role in destroying tribal diseases throughout the tribe, but chose to treat the death of Native American as a sign of sacred hatred. According to John Winthrop, God killed the Indians and their supporters and guaranteed "our title in this place". As "a sacred appointment of them to deprive the new world from the people without gods as a tool of Providence", the settlers thought they were responsible for destroying "barbarians without God" . In Captain John Underhill, "We received sufficient light in the actions of God" - he said 500 Pequot men, women and children were killed in the village along the Mistic River It was.

Relationships of indigenous peoples For many years of colonial rule, relations between British settlers in this area and Native American people were usually the same. Native Americans initially believe that settlers are allies and, as time goes by, they will fight them to compete for land. This process of friendship with enemies seems to be the basic model of most colonies. - Incorrect behavior may adversely affect the surroundings and may obviously have serious consequences for people, animals, or nature. An example of the destruction of culture and nature is colonization. Colonization is a powerful state of abusing weak nations, bringing their people to areas of their interest and exercising the power to dominate people and land.

Early history of the colony revealed a complex story about the relationship with indigenous peoples. Some colonial settlers, such as settlers at Plymouth Farm, have a positive relationship with indigenous peoples. In Puritan, Massachusetts, John Eliot mastered Algonquin, and translated the Bible into this language in 1663. His "Indian Contract Confession" was printed in English with Algonquin in 1669. He is trying to hand over the missionary's efforts to the Indians himself. Considering Indian autonomy, his method was considered innovative at that time. In most cases, many Indian wars have dominated encounters between Europeans and indigenous peoples. As more and more "praying Indians" are converted by missionaries, they are often complicated by painful divisions within the tribe.
