Europeans referred to Indigenous peoples of the Americas as "savages" largely due to their cultural differences and the Eurocentric belief in the superiority of European civilization. This label justified the colonization and exploitation of Indigenous lands and resources, as it framed these populations as primitive and in need of "civilizing." The term also reflected a broader narrative that dehumanized Indigenous peoples, allowing Europeans to rationalize their violent actions and the imposition of their own societal norms.
