The white man used this term of derision for all they encountered. It showed that they came to conquer & dispossess. It happened in many situations in Empire building despite the fact that many of these 'Savages' were part of enduring civilisations. It didn't only apply to the 'Colonisation' of the US, (The British were not the only ones to make errors !) but all over the world. It does show how full of mistakes history is, to our enduring shame. The total of European Imperialism, is based on an amalgamation of Roman and Judaic law, and principal. If they called them savages, this, in their mind, justified their actions. All of the Judaic Christian Imperialism, was based on divine rite from Popes of The Church of Rome. I would question the Judaic! If Israel is entitled to the land that they originally stole from the Canaanites. because they claim their god, whom they never even knew, gave it to them. When are they going to return the properties stolen by the European imperialists, to those whom they stole them from? Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but wrather give place to wrath: for it is written, vengeance is mine: I will repay, saith the Lord. [ROMANS 12:19.]
How much longer will humans ignore the words of The Creator?
the idea that political power comes from a Supreme Being
Technology was not widely accepted by the Plains Indians because they had a different belief system. While Europeans embraced growing technological trends, the natives followed more of spiritual approach to progress. This created a culture gap that impeded their progress.
The two cultures were very different, but three of the reasons appear below:1. Most white settlers were Christian, native Americans weren't2. Native Americans were usually more prepared for Midwest winters than the newer white settlers (survived more gruel-some winters than whites with stocking up on food, clothing, etc.)3. Many native Americans preferred to live and sleep outside during the the spring, summer, and fall while the white settlers depended on their houses for mostly all their shelters
During Jamestown's first year of being a settlement, only 60 of the original settlers survived. John Smith then took matters into his own hands when he saw the numbers dwindling and brought them back up with the discovery of the cash crop: tobacco. With tobacco, more and more settlers arrived with the desire of growing tobacco crops and owning land beyond belief.
a belief in personal responsibility for salvation
Indians were seen as necessary to missions by European settlers and missionaries due to the belief that they needed to be converted to Christianity and "civilized" according to European standards. This was often driven by a combination of religious, economic, and political factors. Additionally, the presence of Indigenous peoples offered opportunities for the establishment of trade networks and alliances.
Some Indians routinely took the people left alive after a raid on other tribal nations as slaves, and probably did the same with attacks on European settlers. Also, after many Indian nations were decimated by white man's diseases, some probably captured female settlers in an attempt to keep their nation alive through intermarriage.
What is Hopi indians' core belief and folklore?
The belief of Jews and Christians that influenced European civilization was the way they marked time. There was also a belief that there is a supernatural being who controls the universe.
They believed that God was everywhere, so they had to honor him.
The Plains Indians thought welfare was not right. They fought and lived of the land.
Polytheistic religion (the belief of many gods)
It's a really religious dance of belief.
Because it's part of their belief
Manifest Destiny describes the US Colonial belief that settlers had the right and should expand from shore to shore, from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean.
Paganism. Indians, Egyptians, and Neanderthals were pagan.
