The Native Americans did not trade land. The took land in as a source of life. They had many clashes with the Europeans who believed in private ownership of land.
Land is life. It is to be respected; not owned. If we take care of the land and the animals that live upon it then the land and the animals will take care of us.
Land is not something that is to be "owned" by anyone, but is to be respected and enjoyed by everyone. It is sacred to many tribes for many reasons in many different places, and that in and of itself should be respected. What is taken is given back, and spirituality was involved with any disturbance of land/nature. Nothing is wasted, everything is used in honor of the land which is so gracious to the humans who tread upon it.

How did Native Americans view land treaties?
To Native Americans, no one owned the land- it was there for everyone else to use. Native Americans saw land treaties with Europeans as agreements in which they received gifts, such as blankets, guns, iron tools, or ornaments, in return for which they agreed to share the land for limited time.
How were native Americans and European settlers different in their view of land ownership?
The people had no concept of land ownership. There was the concept that we are responsible for the land so that it will serve the next 7 generations. This meant not to drain the land to the point where the air is polluted, dust bowls are created, drinkable water becomes difficult to find and whole species become extinct, among other things. Rather the land is left in better shape than how it was found. We only have to look around to get an understanding of how white settlers felt, and for the most part continue to feel about land.

How did the Native Americans and Europeans view of land ownership differ?
The Indians practiced communal land ownership. That is, the entire community owned the land upon which it lived, however; the Native Americans did not really believe in "owning" land they had the concept "you own it while you live on it" after that it was considered free game.

What did Hudson trade with native Americans?
Today the tribes located in this area are known as the Delware. When the Dutch settled the area they saw the Native Americans living there as possible slaves. They treated them poorly and killed them as well as taking the land. The European view of land ownership was opposite to the Native Americans. The Native American view is that there can't be landownership and that they had a duty to be caretakers of the land. Essentially the two views kept the European settlers from treating the Delware with respect and this affected the relationship between the two groups, so very little trading was done. These were a peaceful farming community when the European settlers arrived with disease, guns, and stealing their lands. The first reservation was located in New Jersey by the 1700's. The idea presented in some history books that Native Americans were happy to see the European settlers or they were violent people is not the truth. The truth is that Native Americans were killed and lands stolen until they were all on reservations by the mid 1800's.
