- As European colonists arrived in North America, they established settlements and began to take over land that was already inhabited by Native American tribes.
- This led to numerous conflicts and wars, as the Native Americans resisted the loss of their traditional lands and way of life.
- The settlers often viewed the Native Americans as inferior and believed they had the right to take their land.
- The Native Americans, in turn, saw the settlers as invaders who were disrupting their way of life and destroying their culture.
- The conflict over land resulted in the displacement and dispossession of many Native American tribes and the loss of their traditional lands, resources, and way of life.
