• noble “savages” that were respectful of their environment.

• dishonest, manipulative, and totally willing to drastically alter the physical landscape.

Why Two Views?

Paintings of 16th Century Indians were created by European artists who ascribed to the Greek school of art. 1. What are the similarities between these paintings of Indians and Europeans? 2. What is the likelihood that our view of Native Americans today is biased because the primary documents we use to research Indians were created by Europeans? 3. If we view the Native Americans through the lens of the Europeans, how will that color our view of Native Americans?

BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NATIVE AMERICANS AND EUROPEANS..HOW THEY VIEWED LAND OWNERSHIP

Native Americans Europeans

•Did not treat the land like they owned it because the concept of ownership was foreign•Instead of trying to change the land to make it most conducive to their lifestyle, they changed their lifestyles in accordance with their geography.

•Humans had dominion over earth•Change the land to suit them

“You think you own whatever land you land onThe Earth is just a dead thing you can claimBut I know every rock and tree and creatureHas a life, has a spirit, has a name “

The Spanish in AmericaThe Vallodilid Controversy (1550-

1551)► Juan Gines de Sepulveda

Concerning the Just Cause of the War Against the Indians (1547)

“Those whose condition is such that their function is the use of their bodies and nothing better can be expected of them, those, I say, are slaves of nature. It is better for them to be ruled thus.”

► Bartoleme de las Casas The New Laws (1542) A Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies (1552) “The Indians are our brothers, and Christ has given his

life for them. Why, then, do we persecute them with such inhuman savagery?... They will embrace the teaching of the Gospel, as well I know, for they are not stupid or barbarous but have a native sincerity and are simple, moderate, and meek.... Once they have embraced it, it is marvelous with what piety, eagerness, faith, and charity they obey Christ's precepts and venerate the sacraments. For they are docile and clever, and in their diligence and gifts of nature, they excel most peoples of the known world.”
