None, there are not one cultural trait that is the same between these cultures; although American's claim to share these traits. As a non-exhaustive example: * Honor: Americans give their word, even in writing, and promptly break it (see treaties of the United States): Native Americans can and will keep their word (promises) * Religion: Americans claim to have tolerance for all religions and not impose their religion on others, while doing just the opposite: Natives know and understand that everyone has different beliefs and should follow them without influence from another. * Government: Americans tolerate (if not enjoy) corrupt government, political leaders without punishment for those that violate their public trust: Natives do not tolerate leaders like this (and before coming under US Laws, promptly executed those corrupt leaders - and their families in some cases). * Tolerance: American's claim to enjoy, if not revel in, diversity of people, views, ideals, etc. while in fact they reject, denounce and show hatred to anything they do not agree with: Natives know and understand the single law of humanity, that all men are free to conduct themselves in any manner they wish with the only limitation being that they may not harm another, or infringe on another right, to do the same. This list is not exhaustive, but gives a general ideal between the cultural differences between these two groups.

What were the relationship between Native Americans and African Americans in the West during the Civil War and Reconstruction?

from ƝɨѕhҠѡe on yahoo answers:In the 1800's -1900's there was little understanding between Native Americans and African Americans.Firstly because generally Native Americans were an unknown population just as they are today, and African Americans were not able to freely form friendships/relationships with people outside their local area/residence. So basically they had very little contact.Secondly anywhere the 3 populations (Black, White and Native) were in close proximity, the White settlers tried to create friction between the Blacks and the Natives.For example in some areas (southern coastal US) Native Americans where paid to recapture runaway slaves. Which they did to prevent their people from being taken by the slave traders. Most people are unaware that there was an active trade in Native Americans slaves in the US. Regiments of African Americans soldiers were used to hunt and kill Native Americans. The Native Americans called them Buffalo Soldiers.The friction was created between the African Americans and Native Americans because the settlers feared if the African Americans and Native Americans united they would outnumber the White settlers and would wipe them out in an uprising.The story of Native Americans protecting African Americans slaves is not entirely true. Historically like today, Native American society did not have the "concept of difference" based on race or skin color. Difference based on skin color is a Euro concept. Tribes often extended tribal hospitality to both African American and White people who chose to reside with the tribe.Secondly the story that Native Americans protected runaway slaves and intermarried was promoted by African Americans to explain why some didn't look fully African American. It was seen as somewhat better to be part Native American than to be part White.That's why today some African Americans believe they have Native American blood, even though DNA has proven only about 2.9% African Americans actually have Native American blood..4 months ago (10-09-2011)
