Question

Describe the interactions between the American Indian cultures of Utah and the Europeans who came into Utah. In your opinion, who benefitted the most from these interactions and why? What were the costs?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

During the colonial period, Native Americans had a complicated relationship with European settlers. They resisted the efforts of the Europeans to gain more of their land and control through both warfare and diplomacy.The relationship between the Native Americans and the settlers at Jamestown was a mixed one. When the settlers first arrived, the Native Americans weren't happy. They had a previous experience with the Spanish that was negative. Thus, they attacked the settlers when they first arrived.While Native Americans and English settlers in the New England territories first attempted a mutual relationship based on trade and a shared dedication to spirituality, soon disease and other conflicts led to a deteriorated relationship and, eventually, the First Indian War.

The Spanish attitude toward the Indians was that they saw themselves as guardians of the Indians basic rights. The Spanish goal was for the peaceful submission of the Indians. The laws of Spain controlled the conduct of soldiers during wars, even when the tribes were hostile.
