Native American Carvings depicting a hunt, Price, Utah Native Americans thrived until Columbus and the white settlers came over
from Europe, bringing their ideals and diseases with them. Native Americans
were more prone to the diseases and many of them died because of the wide
spread epidemics they faced. At first the settlers were friendly towards
the American Indians, but they soon turned against them and pushed them
from their native lands. The American Indians were fierce warriors and
fighters and used tactics that the white settlers were not accustomed to.
The American Indians had a sense for everything around them and they could
track the movements of the white men. There were many historical battles fought
between the American Indians and the Europeans, including the American Revolutionary
War, Chickamauga Wars, North West Indian War, and many other battles. The
Wounded Knee Massacre followed by the killing of Sitting Bull led to the
final battle of Indian wars. Americans Indians have since been forced to live
on Indian reservations, stripped of their native lands.
