Differences between Native Americans and Settlers
Utilize the PowerPoint on the Website (Environmental Evolutions, Revolutions and Worldviews) and do some independent research. Write a one page minimum summary explaining the differences in the way Native Americans and the European Settlers who moved west viewed and used resources in the early 1800’s. What resources did they each use? How did their view of resource use differ? Explain each viewpoint in detail. Why do you believe their viewpoints were vastly different? Explain the impact on resources and the environment the European Settler’s viewpoint had. In what ways did life at the time change as a result?
