Do you think the native americans wanted to send the white people back?

At first, the Native Americans were probably curious.  While some tribes might have been prone to instigating trouble - many other tribes might have been open to the idea of a new group of individuals living in harmony beside them.\n\nWhat they found was group of people with very little respect for the land and its native people.  The English settlers (I'm refering to the Pilgrims up here in MA) weren't nice people and they weren't interested in cultivating meaninful relationships with natives unless it could provide them with useful knowledge to farm or hunt.  Once the Native Americans learned of the true nature of the colonizing English I'm sure they became weary of their presence.  Wars broke out - remember?  \n\nWere the English right to enter a territory that was already being lived in by others and trying to ungratefully utilize resources?  Would you want someone barging into your backyard and say "Hi I'm going to live here now - even though you've work hard your entire life for this little plot of land in the universe...oh and I'm gonna need some food, want to go grocery shopping for me?" \n\nI think you'd get rather ticked off.\n\n**\nKit4info:  You would like ME to learn MY American history?  If you are so ignorant to the treatment of the Native Americans by English settlers then you should not be responding to this question.  Research King Phillip’s War (1675-1676).  The cause of this war was due to what I said previously: mistreatment of the Natives.   Specifically: disrespect of Natives and continued expansion of the settlers.  The war involved the Wampanoag, Iroquois and Mohicans (western territories), Narragansett, Podunk,  and Nipmuck to name a few.  When war broke out most Natives sided with Phillip, a few who had converted to Christianity fought with the English, others were neutral.  Read this excerpt: \n\n “King Philip’s War was one of the bloodiest and most costly in the history of America. One in ten soldiers on both sides was injured or killed. It took many years for Plymouth and the other colonies to recover from damage to property\nThe outcome of King Philip’s War was devastating to the traditional way of life for Native People in New England. Hundreds of Natives who fought with Philip were sold into slavery abroad. Others, especially women and children, were forced to become servants locally. As the traditional base of existence changed due to the Colonists’ victory, the Wampanoag and other local Native communities had to adapt certain aspects of their culture in order to survive.”  \n\nDid I say that I think we should all leave because this land we live upon was stolen?  No – so what are you talking about “dinosaurs” for?  I am not “parroting” anything I am stating historical facts, my dear:  The Puritan settlers and their leaders were not nice people – not the innocents seeking religious freedom that you seem to think.  The majority of Native American tribes up here were NOT happy with what was happening around and did not like these intruders, although they tried to live beside them for several years, they quickly grew weary of their presence.  That was the question I read and that was what I answered.  No need to speak so condescendingly in order to gain a sense of authority because your argument is unfounded, illogical and worthless.  To deny any of these facts would be absurd; have you EVER taken an early American history class?  Someone was denied a school fieldtrip to Plimoth Plantation as a child and it shows.

Apparently not, they want to extend it until they get to Canada. They are always saying that their land was stolen, if they like so much history then they should remember that the Aztecs conquered most of central America, and in their temples they killed thousands pf prisoners.By the way, I'm tired of hear about " La raza", not because most people down USA speak Spanish, make them the same, and then they want to receive all the benefits. Among all the Hispanics countries Mexican re known for the terrible way they treat other Latino-Americans, they beat them up and take them back to the border with Guatemala , after the steal all the have on them, they got thousands of Cubans that have landed there looking for freedom on their way to USA.They even threat the economy , if you ask me , you don't ask for souls at gunpoint.

If you are talking about the American Revolution, then the answer is:\nWhen the white man finely suceded from the oppresion of the English, they stopped paying taxes (in the forms of tobacco, cotton, other materials).  The increase in product wealth encouraged the expansion to the west.  Whitie took over more and more land from the common Indian hunting grounds, forcing them to move westward.\n\nSonner than later they hit the west coast, and their wasn't anywhere left for the Indians other than the lands the white man didn't want.  It was normally very dry, poor soil, and lacked animals to hunt (since the white man slaughter the buffalos during this expansion).\n\nThe Indians were figuratively and literally raped by the white man.  But this probably would have happened regardless if the Americans lost the revolution too, since whiteman already brought guns to the new lands and had this advantage over the original inhabitants.

No.\n:-)\nBut it should. \n\nLike all other countries that were invaded by our ancestors and linked to their own country.\nGive back the natives their own land !

A good one is "Go back to europe"!!! LMAO!!\n\n\nMy ancestors are TRUE north American natives. (1/4 Creek) Unlike the people from south of the border who try to say that they were here first.. Why don't they stick to their own side of the planet? Why do they think they can tell the Europeans to 'go home' when they have even LESS business here? As long as you benefit the country, you're welcomed as far as I'm concerned. MANY north American natives married and had children with 'white' people. How can Anyone tell us to go home just because of our appearance and not our heritage or blood line?? GET A CLUE!!!!!!!!!

My standard response, when answering q's on immigration, reproduced here below\n\nI am not a Greaser, but do sympathise with them if you have nerds and as.sholes with ideas such as your governments.\n\nI wonder if the original native Americans (Red Injuns as you called em) had a say in the matter when the whites from across the ocean invaded their country and all but exterminated them.\n\nYou, dear person are also a descendant of immigrants yourself, I'm sure, as are most of the white and black American folks replying to you, unless you are of Native American descent (which I am sure you would not be proud to proclaim, if you were). Even the guys who came over on the Mayfair, they initiated the unjustness by being the harbingers of terror that culminated in the annihilation of native Americans\n\nI wonder when the Caucasian will ever get over the white 'massa' superiority complex?\n\n\nAmerica has been drawing people from all over the world, right from the days of it's discovery as a land with the fabled pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Give it some more time, you'll end up with an exodus of people, as is happening among the immigrants from India which is gaining from the Brain Gain as opposed to the earlier brain drain.\n\nI remember when my cousin migrated to the US in the seventies, people had similar complaints about the Indians.\n\nTh reverse is happening now, a number of western countries have their top people insisting on an India stint, and the Indians, well they wanna come back to their roots\n\nst

The native Americans were in touch with themselves in a way that we are not. Nor can we be . Too many people to much noise it's hard to find quiet. Yes I think that the Indians could do many more things then we can imagine. And they called them savages    God wept

JUst from the top of my head\n\nNo I dont beleive they were plain indians\nThey were short, strong legs and the reason there were so much difficulty catching them was because they were mountain people\nFor the longuest time they did not need horses.\n\nLater, they needed to live in the plains due to reservation policy.\nTHey were taken away from their natural territories to be located in reservations ( I think they were sent to the Four Corners (around Oklahoma) which was very different from where they came from....\n\nI have Mohawk ancestry...\n\nHope I am not too off the mark...

The native people were peaceful and friendly. Stealing horses was a game between tribes. Most did not war. Once the Europeans came they wanted it all and they had guns and whiskey. Between the diseases and whiskey and guns they conquered and killed.Sad. However the native Americans are getting theirs back. They are opening casinos on their reservations and taking all the white mans money.  Payback!!!

If you're talking about American Indians, there were a number of acts passed by Congress, the most notorious being the Termination Act.  It called for the elimnation of Indian Reservations and turning us indians into white folks....the ultimate melting pot trick.  Thankfully, we stood up to them..yah, ....

Native Americans tribe names are as numerous as sand on the beach. I think you're asking probably, who named them "Indians." I imagine that would be Columbus who thought he ended up in India and assumed those he met were Indians. Various tribe names as we know them today are probably whatever we could repeat as white settlers. Im sure if you ask an Indian their tribe name may be different than what we commonly know them as. Like the Anasazi, if I remember right, the call themselves someting different, Anasazi is a name the whites gave them because thats what they heard their enemies call them.

That sure would be mighty white of us.\n\nMaybe we could just steal their land and oil and make them all live on reservations.\n\nI think after blowing them all up, the least we could do is help them rebuild.

Yes, of course they should pay for them to go back, but that will never happen, there is also a chance the country would'nt even except them back, like what happened to the boat full of Chinese we just sent back this summer, China refused to take them back.  Do you really think Mexico would take back people that are making the country even richer than it is already, hell no.\nI'm in the greenhouse growing industry and I've worked with hispanic's for almost 15 years.   \nThey are smug and arrogant and know they are thought of as better than the citizens of this country.  Our government tell them this everyday, they have perks and incentives to keep coming over.  If I hear one more person say what hard workers, family oriented people thay are, I'm going to throw-up.  I know how they are and who they are, and what they respect, which is vertually nothing, they do'nt even sell dog food or cat food in their grocery stores, they do not know how to use a toilet, they can't drive, I've been hit by a hispanic and he left the scene, did the cops hunt him down, no!!!!!!!!  Everyday on my job, on the road, and in my neighborhood I am violated, and this I hate our GOVERNMENT for.  Please do not worry about who will pay to get these law breakers home, no one is going to send them back, they come and go at their own free will and will as long as America is America.

Oh my...\n\nI have never read such an uneducated opinion on US History in all my life...\n\nYes, I agree.....do some research, read some books... \n\nTHEY should get the blame? Hello-it was the EUROPEANS who came to the western land and brought slaves with them to work the land in this "new world".  The United States only abolished slavery after many years of bloodshed and pressure from the citizens...but they didn't welcome these former slaves with open arms... These men and women had to go through many more years of hell to get equal rights....\n\nAnd the Native Americans should feel lucky for the Casinos? Are you kidding me????? The Europeans raped their lands, their families, forced them to assimilate to "christian" culture....and they should be grateful???  To this day, the federal government is screwing the Native Americans.... \n\nGo to my link below...\n\nAnd, who do you think the United States are???? \n\nWe are decendants of slaves, Native Americans forced out of their lands, Hispanics, and yes...those Europeans you are talking about. It's not like those who created the US officially are a totally different type of people who went around "fixing" everything. \n\nThose that need to be blamed are long since dead.... but we can learn from their mistakes...and make sure we know the real history of what really happened....

back up, back up, backup, we as white men, came from England to get away from oppression.  We land here on this beautiful rock and right away, we start oppressing.  We drove the natives off 'their' land and stole there goods and their women.  Now would you be pissed?  I have 1/8 Choctaw in my blood and I'm pissed.  Pissed that my people we're treated just like the English, the same thing that brought them over here in the first place.
