The correct answer is C) They fought over land use and ownership.

The statement about the relationship between Native Americans and colonists that is true is "They fought over land use and ownership."

Conflicts were permanent between Native American Indian tribes and white settlers in the colonial times. The Native American Indian tribes had a completely different perspective of "owning the land" than the white Europeans. For the tribes, Mother Earth had to be honored and respected because it provided everything the tribes needed. That is the reason why the Indians thanked the Earth with dances and chants. They believed that the land belonged to their ancestors and they had the right to stay in their territories.

White European settlers mind was so different. They wanted more land to inhabit, exploit the many natural resources, grow crops and make it profitable. That is why they were always in conflict.
