I think the difference in how they viewed trade and property was most significant. I liked how the Natives saw it as more communal. I feel the European's more individualistic view is part of what drove them to stumble upon the Native society and seize control creating the clash between them.

[@xANTHQNY]

Communal societies are inherently less productive. All cultures are not equal.

[@ryanr20091]

Basically, the native americans were communist and didn't even know it while the europeans were about private ownership . Its a utopian mindset to think we are all equal and should share everything but it never works out lol history shows us that these communistic unpractical views will always fall to the wayside

[@htoodoh5770]

@@xANTHQNY I still find it better. People work together and live together as group.

[@LogD69]

Ah yes, like the time when the USSR industrialized in 30 years while it took the United States and Great Britain two centuries to industrialize. That's what you call "less productive".

[@kleo2983]

major factor native American were defeated is because technology they didn't even posses cooper metal when European came

[@5LoveMyGirls5]

Us Native Americans were more Christian like, then the actual Christians. We worshiped the creator rather then the creation. We worship the creator but respect the creation because our creator gave us all things. I'm a bible thumping Native American. But I wouldn't say I'm christian. I say I'm Native American!

[@corybard1590]

No. To be Christian you have to believe in redemption through Jesus Christ, you did not have this. I identify as an individual with sovereign thoughts.

[@5LoveMyGirls5]

@@corybard1590 this is why I said Christian LIKE. My ancestors taught the foreigners to plant corn and live off the land. And for that gift, the foreigners gave them blankets tainted with small pox. Yahshua preached to the dead. So what makes you think he didn't preach to the 10 lost tribes as well in his 40 days on earth after his resurrection? Native Americans including the Mayans and Mexicans are part of the 10 lost tribes of Jacob. Native Americans which is a name the Spanish and Roman empire named us after taking our new world lands, Native Americans are the lost tribe of Gad. The sons of Jacob.

[@corybard1590]

@@5LoveMyGirls5 your either Christian or not. One can't be kinda pregnant, one either is or isn't.

[@5LoveMyGirls5]

@@corybard1590 I believe Christ died for my sins. And rose on the third day. I believe I'm a sinner and live by faith alone. Scripture, faith and christ alone. I don't know if I'm Christian. What is a Christian now days? What I see from so called Christian's is hate and judgmental. My Yahshua never judge the sinners but laid down his life for them. Taught them to love. I go by what Christ taught. Follow his footsteps closely. I don't need a title, I need my heart to be washed clean. To be holy and set apart.

I'm not White. I visited my mother's home to collect broken plums that fell on the ground to make jam, besides collecting plums to share with neighbors and friends. There were a lot of plums. There, I met her new neighbor who was White. I invited him to help himself to the fruit on the tree and he said "thanks!". Later, I decided to go over to his property and pickup all the dropped fruit from my mom's tree for jam and clean up his driveway. He came out and wouldn't have any of it. Instead, he'd rather leave the plums which were rotting on his property and messing up his driveway. To me, you share what excess you have to benefit everyone. Apparently this White neighbor didn't see it this way and I thought, "maybe this is how Native Americans experienced interactions with Whites?"

[@chissstardestroyer]

Not only the metal implements: the Amerindians absolutely *loved* guns as a useful tool; but the guns that were available in those days were really slow to reload: in battle you would rarely get off more than a single shot in a crucial moment before it is a full-on brawl called a melee, and then it really is every man for himself till one side breaks, and then either routs or surrenders.

[@baneofbanes]

Hence why they liked the metal implements. Iron knives and arrow heads are better in battle than stone and bone.

[@chissstardestroyer]

@@baneofbanes Yes, and they hardly ever had iron tools nor weapons of iron as it turns out when they were first encountered: their technology levels hadn't increased to the level of using metal weapons in terms of developing them- when they were first encountered, they still were at the stone age in terms of technology level of building tools and weapons.

[@Daniwild1]

Thank you for this thoughtful video!

[@SirBlackReeds]

There's a big difference between how the Spanish and the English interacted with Native Americans. Most notable of which was intermarriage. By contrast, the English typically avoided intermarriage over the fear that they would taint the bloodlines of the Native Americans. That's why John Rolfe's marriage to Matoaka caused such a stir in England.

[@aswler]

I am a little confused as to how the Europeans owned their own land. I think in many countries of Europe, people were forced to work on a feudal’s land and did not own much of their own land.

[@jameshojnowski8455]

Yeah, this video simplifies a lot to the point of error.

[@raman7960]

Wow it's an amazing , really thank you 💞💞☺️☺️

[@tysonturquoise6940]

We take from each others cultures and use them in our own way. But the greedys ones take more and leave the ones asking for it through money or trade. Selfish yes but remember even the eurpoeans got tired of their own people ideas.

[@chissstardestroyer]

Well, common ground: sadly we know that both sides of the debate practiced slavery at that time, and quite happily too. Differences, the biggest ones: most likely in the socioreligious matters. But yes, both sides readily agreed that warfare and hunting were manly tasks- that's commonplace throughout human history- maybe that is why for many many thousands of years of human existence men lived much shorter and more brutal lives: constant warfare.

[@paszti96]

African natives also used slaves. And europeans captured in war were usually slaves in the Ottoman Empire. Slavery is actually a big thing nowadays too. Think about your Nike shoes...

[@chissstardestroyer]

@@paszti96 Yes, they did as well, you are spot on about just about the whole position you've stated. In fact, that is precisely where most African slaves were obtained for working in the plantations: they had been enslaved by their African neighbors and then were traded for weapons and gear by their "owners" to the European slave merchants... in fact, that's how most slaves were obtained: by their "owners" trading them for gear to merchants in history.

[@matthewmann8969]

Generally more then not Native Americans were generally more in touch with nature and dinnotnusually overhunt with few exceptions it is more then not the opposite with Europeans.

[@aidanner]

I'm italian so I can speak for "european culture". I think that generalizing the matter is very wrong because the peculiarity of europe is that every single nation has a lot of small specific differences that come from thousand of years of history (not only between countries but also between local regions or even between close and small cities or villages durng differents times) so if you put them toghether you can't actually see why for example italians from the north act more like germans and italians from the south act more like greek or arabian or african people... Also, about the gender roles, for example, in italy, mostly during medieval times and mostly from center italy to the south and also in sardegna, there was mathriarchy (I don't know if that's a word in english, I mean women had the social powers) and this was a thing not only in italy but also in a lot of other countries (I would rather not make a list and explaining everything because it would take too much time). So saying that women had less power is very wrong. I didn't mean to be aggresive or else, I'm just expressing my point of view because there are a lot of misconceptions about european history and culture. Everything in european history was discussed and tried to be seen from every little point of view also, and moslty, during medieval times.

[@htoodoh5770]

She say that it is only a generalization.

[@htoodoh5770]

@manky toe nail06 No, in a lot of American culture women play a important role in society. In some women were the primary farmers who grew crop.

[@chissstardestroyer]

Referencing religious differences: if you understand the local culture, you can make a lot of converts and recruit them easily... but it does require sculpting your message wisely. If you understand that to Amerindians giving indicates high status; which makes logical sense actually: if I can afford to give you a lot, it must mean that I am good at managing resources, otherwise I cannot feasibly afford to give to the poor- especially if I myself *am* impoverished... and I for one share the religious beliefs of the Spaniards of that era! That said, if I can *afford* to be generous, it must mean that I have an abundance, by logic alone. Their stance, therefore, about gift giving, is a very logical one- and there are religious passages in the primary religious books the Spanish used in our faith that would indicate to them how to broach the topic and approach converting the locals at that. There are biblical passages about Christ Himself becoming poor that we might become rich that would likely make logical sense to the Amerindians, a lot of sense at that, when you think it through.

[@jameshojnowski8455]

This video seems to be based more on American Indian Tribes where the English Colonized rather than say the Aztecs or Incans. For instance, the religious part of the chart about Great Sky Spirits does not fit Aztec theology.

[@TeachAManToAngle]

Good in both. European society drove innovation and technology. Natives had much better respect for land, etc etc etc.

[@ukrainianamerican79years72]

Teach a man to fish you never been to Eastern Europe I guess

[@LogD69]

European culture didn't "drive" society, it was just that the aristocracy just had a whole ton of free time to do whatever they wanted to do, which lead to them eventually inventing different technologies.

[@tonicalou]

Look a the traits of each society and it is not hard to guess which one has subdue the other even if you didn’t know the actual outcome

Sure the Native's approach was all sunshine and rainbows, but guess who got walked all over for literally centuries?

[@chissstardestroyer]

When the Mississippian culture of the Amerindians shattered due apparently to bad harvests; they became the Amerindians of the NorthEastern United States; so who was here in New England *before* the breakup of the Mississippian culture and the demise of Cahokia? There must have been some group in this region when they moved in; by and large, when the Amerindians merged in the Ice Age, they basically settled all over the Americas, and that was thousands of years before even Leif Ericson, let alone Columbus made their voyages. Don't try to tell me that for thousands of years this area of the continent was completely uninhabited by human beings; that would be completely ridiculous to even consider, there *must* have been *some group* in this area of North America before the demise of the Mississippian culture. I can accept the "we don't know yet" as believable, but not that the area was completely uninhabited for more than a thousand years, let alone about 10,000 years; that would be ridiculous!

[@randycastro7641]

Indo Europeans?

[@MarkSTuttle]

Family legend has it that I'm a small part Algonquin. Per your video, if this is true, I've wondered how it happened?

[@todddaniels1812]

23andMe can confirm your genetic mixture. It can't tell you if you are Algonkian but it can tell you if there is any native genes in your genome.

[@corwinhyatt519]

As the video states, it is a loose generalization. Like all generalizations there are definite exceptions, one of which can be seen in your family's professed ancestry. Don't lose any sleep over it. :)
