American Indians who sought peace were often attacked due to the prevailing mistrust and fear among European settlers and the U.S. government. Many settlers viewed peaceful tribes as a threat, believing they could ally with hostile groups or disrupt expansionist goals. Additionally, the aggressive policies of some colonial and governmental leaders often led to a broader strategy of displacement and violence against Indigenous peoples, regardless of their intentions for peace. This cycle of distrust and aggression perpetuated conflicts and undermined efforts for peaceful coexistence.

What lines from of Plymouth plantation best shows that American Indians wanted to make peace with European colonist?

In "Of Plymouth Plantation," the lines that best illustrate the American Indians' desire for peace with European colonists can be found in the interactions between the Pilgrims and Squanto, who facilitated communication and cooperation. He expressed a willingness to help the colonists survive and establish a relationship, highlighting the Indians' interest in forming alliances.

What did the Indians peace commission recommend for the native Americans?

According to Reyer & Eder (authors of American Indian Education) "in 1867 the United States Congress established the Peace Commision to deal with hostile Indian tribes." Their first step towards making peace with the "Hostiles" was to make a tour across the States to establish the reasons for the hostility. This commission recommended creating a treaty that addressed "the necessity of education" in which they were to build a home for each reservation to have a teacher reside on each reservation within it's community. In chapter 3 of American Indian Education it addresses the education part of what the Peace Commision recommended for Native American Indians; they made Congress aware that Indians needed to be made Legal Citizens so that they may be accepted into accredited colleges. I'm sure the Indian Peace Commision recommended more than this but this book only addresses the Education issues.
