There were several reasons. Among them, were just the sheer numbers of invaders. The Indians had primitive weapons compared to the Europeans. The First Peoples generally welcomed this new kind of being to their midsts. The naivete that all peoples who gave their word would keep it. Most prominently, however, was their belief that the earth mother could not be owned, so when the settlements began, the Indians were convinced that those few whites would just share and honor the Mother as they did.
