Clashes between early European settlers and Native Americans were primarily caused by competition for land and resources, as settlers sought to expand their territories for agriculture and settlement. Cultural misunderstandings and differing views on land ownership further exacerbated tensions, as Native Americans often viewed land as communal and sacred, while Europeans saw it as a commodity to be owned and cultivated. Additionally, the introduction of European diseases decimated Native populations, leading to further conflict over resources and territory. These factors combined to create a volatile environment that often resulted in violent confrontations.

Of course! The Native Americans were friendly when they met Columbus and the Spanish explorers because they thought Columbus and his explorers to be honorable people. Columbus portrayed himself in this way. He was very kind and polite to the Native Americans and made sure to treat them with respect.

Considering the Lewis and Clark expedition, the fact that they were part of a scientific expedition was extremely important, especially during the Age of Enlightenment. The new knowledge they obtained about the Northwest's geography, natural resources, and native inhabitants sparked American interest in the west, and strengthened the nation's claim to the area. It also gave Americans a sense of pride at a time when they badly needed symbols of national triumph. Americans at this time realized that their new nation was still very much divided and relatively weak and Lewis and Clark's adventure offered Americans proof that the men of their nation could accomplish great deeds amidst enormous hardships. Also spread was the idea of 'Manifest Destiny' as Americans increasingly assumed a continental destiny. This opened many door for poor families to go out and prosper throughout the late nineteenth century. However this also led to many Native Americans and earlier Hispanic settlers to be dispossessed, along with the great number of buffalo that Lewis and Clark themselves saw and were amazed by.
Native Americans did not discover and colonize Western Europe. The opposite happened. European settlers migrated and took up land belonging to the Native Americans before colonization.
