European explorers were invaders pure and simple. Two cultures clashed when they met. To the European they found an empty land with no fences and abundant Natural Resources so as far as they were concerned it was free for the taking. Native Americans were the caretakers of their lands with no one owning the land. This was land that their ancestors had lived and died on for centuries, but the Europeans cared little for this and took the land. Native Americans were discriminated against, killed, and pushed off lands. The Europeans brought plants, animals, and insects not native to North America. Thus, they practiced environmental terrorism against the tribes.
