How Tasty Was My Little Frenchman Analysis

Decent Essays
The video “How Tasty Was My Little Frenchman” was an interesting video about to how some Native American was with Europeans. This video gives me a newer understanding of how both groups was with each other. I always taught at a point that both groups respected each other in a positive way. I would’ve never taught that some Native Americans would go around just killing people because who they taught they were. Plus, they treated the Europeans like their slaves. I couldn’t believe in this video they keep the Europeans to help them conquer their enemies then eat them, that I just nasty. The Europeans was portrait in the video as people that respected the different ethnicity. At the beginning it looks like the Europeans treated the Native Americans

    As whites continued encroaching on the Indian tribe’s land, without permission, the Native Americans became understandably hostile towards them. Before the hostility, white people tried to enforce a “peace policy,” which in exchange for food and clothing from the church, Native Americans had to promise to abandon cultural traditions and adapt to the American ways. Christians would try to force their religion on the Indians, in hopes to change their views and accept their own removal from the west. Natives were invariably being forced into smaller reservations, making it nearly impossible to thrive, thus evoking their hostile mindset towards American intruders. Americans were ignorant on matters regarding Native land, having a painstakingly different view on what it was, who it belonged to, and who was previously there.…

    Shavonne Gilkey Reimaging Native American Violence In the Europeans’ eyes Native Americans were violent, uncivilized, savages. This is apparent in descriptions of interactions between the French, the Iroquois, and other neighboring tribes. In one Jesuit document the author described the Iroquois as “wolves”, a violent predator, which may be warranted considered the horrific and gruesome violence they enacted. Three documents emphasize the violence found in Indian tribes.…

    History is a subject based on story telling. Sometimes, it is based off letters and written documents. History is not written down for others to learn in a nonbiased opinion in the present moment. Historians must go through these documents later and decide what is biased, and what is not. They must read about an event from multiple perspectives and try and pick out what happened and what is an opinion.…

    Since the Native Americans did not know about God or have as advanced technologies, such as guns, the settlers deemed them as lesser people. Their success made the Europeans angry and jealous that they were not superior and then became concerned about fighting with the Indians than their own needs that they needed to set up so that they could survive there. The Indians were actually the only thing that were keeping the settlers alive and the constant guerrilla warfare that went back and forth between the two groups diminished the trust between both of them. They were constantly fighting with the Native Americans which was a poor idea because they were their main source of food.…

    To begin with, European explorers caused the genocide of Native Americans. “they pitilessly slaughtered everyone like sheep in a corral.

    Essay #1 As the Europeans came to the New World in the 1600s, relationships with Native Americans were unstable in some places and secure in others. In the Chesapeake region, both Virginia and Maryland initially collaborated well with the Native Americans but over time the relationship diminished as wars erupted between the groups. However, in New England the colonists’ connection with the Native Americans varied. During the colonization period, although the Europeans may have been disruptive to a few Native American tribes, they continued to trade and build alliances, which contributed to their survival in the New World. Throughout the time of colonization, more people came to the New World and fights erupted between the English and Native tribes.…

    I get the impression that they didn’t treat the natives horribly, but like the French, they did not view them as equals either. From what the book says about colonists being reliant on natives, particularly relying on Tsenaccommacah corn, it is clear that they were trading. They at least had a working relationship. Later, when the Virginia Company demanded that Powhatan become a vassal a James I and he refused starting five years of altercations, this seemed like a clear sign that they did not view the native as equals. Particularly when you consider that Powhatan had made a similar demand of John Smith, who did not accept.…

    The French tended to be more tolerant of the Native Americans. For instance, the French were willing to allow the natives to keep their own languages and cultures, whereas on the other hand, the Europeans intentionally wanted to convert the native’s religion and ways. The Collision of Cultures brought distress to the natives economically and religiously. The outcome of the time period has proven the Europeans to strive solely for “a source of economic opportunity” and the native’s obliviousness to the unknown has caused them to obey the commands of everyone (Foner, “A New World”,…

    When the Europeans first tried to move into the present day United States of America, it was a time of great change for the Native Americans. Many of the Native American tribes had never come in contact with the Europeans before, and many knew that the life they used to live would not be available to them anymore. While the two groups may have started off being eery of one another, the attitude between the two group definitely deteriorated over time: the Native Americans felt that the Europeans stole their land, the Europeans felt that the Native Americans were to be killed, but there were some Europeans that felt that the Native Americans had suffered enough. The Europeans’ main goals in coming to the present day United States of America was to take land and to use it as a way to make money. However the land that they were using belonged to the Native Americans, thus leaving them to starve while taking advantage of their land.…

    Another problem with the way they spoke about the natives’ is that they were using “stereotypical dualism” that is discussed in Staurt Hall’s “The West and the Rest”. Stereotypical dualism is when a stereotype has a good and bad aspect to it, and most of the time the good just outweighs the bad. They would say that the locals’ way of living in nature is a primitive way of life and that it’s not a way to live, which is condescending towards the natives, and then the next moment they would wonder if that way of living is better because they seem to be happy and well fed. Another example, is…

    Interactions between Europeans and Native Americans While attempting to find a faster route to the Indies, Christopher Columbus discovered another land instead. Since the English, French and Spanish were all seeking power at the time that same land would soon after be explored. As the news of the discovery spread, the English shortly found power in the acquisition of the land itself, the French in fur trade, and the Spanish in conquering and exploiting the Native Americans that originally inhabited the area. During the process of fulfilling their achievements, each European had different approaches and distinct encounters with the local Native Americans. The English initially had friendly relationships with them, but with time and trade, hostility…

    The history of Native Americans and settlers in the New World has long been biased towards that of the colonists settling in America. Few people know the extent to which the bias exists and they also don’t stop to consider the perspective of the people that have rightful ownership of the land. What most people do know are the stories of conquest that are often taught in school. These accounts are heavily in favor of the settlers and paint Native Americans as the savage evildoers hell-bent on ruining lives.…
