Stories of the Natives

         Pocahontas is a movie that clearly illistrates how europeans would land in the Americas and take the land from the Native Americans. Most Native American literature describes how the settlers would often take the land of Native Americans because they seeked gold and other precious things. The founding of Jamestown, Virginia was a pleace where the settlers thought that the Indians were savages and uncivilized. However the Native Americans were not, infact they were the complete opposite of uncivilized. They knew more about the land and were able to survive without the tools that the Europeans had at the time of their arrival. During these times they learn that they are good people but usually by this point it is too late because of what the settlers did to them suck as killling and relocating. Being able to illastrate the past can be helpful to our understand of their lives.
