How were native americans characterized and treated by europeans? what explains this treatment? what social and cultural factors impacted relations and interactions between europeans and native americans?

Native Americans were generally not respected or treated well by Europeans. When European settlers arrived to America, they usually stole the lands of the Native people, pushing them into other territories and killing many. Although some collaborated with each other, in general, relationships between the two groups were complicated and negative. There are several reasons for this. The difference in culture often meant that the settlers and the Native people had very different ideas when it came to the use of resources, private property, land, agriculture and many other factors. All of this led to significant conflict. Moreover, European ideas usually centered on the supremacy of white people, which led them to disregard the ideologies of the Native people.
