In
John Smith’s traveling in new world,
he suffered a lot. With the settlement of Jamestown, he had his own colony. He
also found out a different way to deal with native peoples. Unlike most
Europeans killing, Smith focused more on how to deal with national people in a
peaceful way. He tried to be a friend to national people, and tried to give
some help to those national peoples. He even stayed with national peoples for a
long time, and suffered a lot of terrible things, but he also learned a lot
about national culture of Indians. Smith was really scared with those national
people’s welcome. (61-64)
Like most who advanced to the new world,
Smith had the same dream and desire for gold or other things which could make
him have a nice life. He suffered an extremely difficult period after he landed
on new world. He was lacking supplies, and he missed the time to plant
agriculture items. He could not keep his men from stealing food from national
peoples (57, 58).
It is not so strange that Europeans would
force those national people to leave their land because the Spanish and British’s
kings were so willing to get the gold from new world. Some of them even gave
the power and freedom to the explorers who brought back slaves and gold. In
order to take the position of Ocean Lord, Britain even forced prisoners and
pirates to defeat the Spanish Navy
However, the change that Europeans brought to
the Americans when they invaded was culture. It is really hard to say how much
change that Europeans brought after they landed on new world. One of these is
that some native people began to recognize that they were not the only humans
living in the world, and there was a much more developed world. Some young
people voyaged to the Atlantic Ocean to other European Countries, and they brought
new ideas and new knowledge back to their tribes. There were many disputes with
different values between Europeans and Native Americans such as money and natural
balance. Later, those natives would be forced to other place, which is known as
the Trails of the Tribe. (http://www.mce.k12tn.net/indians/blueprint/conflict2.htm).
With the Europeans living far away from
their homes, they began to live much more peacefully with natives. Native
people began to move to colonies so that they could trade with European people.
Indians tradition stories were told to Europeans. The Europeans used words to
record these legends which were recorded only by memory for a long time before
the Europeans came. These legends written on paper were able to be known by
people in all worlds (http://www.indianlegend.com/).
