A significant cause of conflict between colonists and American Indians in Virginia was the colonists' insatiable demand for land. As settlers expanded their agricultural practices, they encroached on Native American territories, leading to disputes over land rights and resources. This tension was exacerbated by cultural misunderstandings and differing concepts of land ownership, ultimately resulting in violent confrontations and wars, such as the Anglo-Powhatan Wars.
