Oh honey, let me break it down for you. Native Americans were all about that barter life. They traded goods and services without using money, just straight-up swapping like it's a game of trading cards. It was all about give and take, no cash required.
encomienda
The young nation of the United States pursued a policy of pushing Native Americans off arable land. Eventually, the reservation system started on land that was not suitable for farming or even hunting.
Animism
the great American belief system.
Some Native Americans today are Christian, some are Jewish. There are Indians of probably every belief system out there. I am an Indian, and I'm atheist. Our original belief systems, pre-Euro contact, had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with Christianity or any other religious system that wasn't specifically our own.
They were under the impression that they were selling use rights not the land itself. Land was not owned in their belief system at the time it was borrowed from descendants.
Before the white man came, Native Americans had nature-centered belief systems, which were centered around spirits and spirit guides. There was no widespread, unified belief system or organization.
