helped Native Americans in some ways, which is similar to what John Winthrop desired. There was an exchange of information, ideas, and knowledge throughout this time period. The Europeans worked together in an attempt to reach a common goal, which is what Winthrop told them to do. However, the events that occurred partly conflicted with his idea of charity. Countless Native Americans lost their lives due to war, slaughter, and European diseases. If the Europeans had not come, more Native…

From 1492 to 1600, the population of natives dropped in millions, but that was really just the beginning as their population was never able to regain what it once was before European contact.

Myth of “Bad Indians” Native Americans have traditionally been depicted as primitive people who were educated and saved by the missionaries. This is in contrast with the true history of the natives’ oppression and exploitation under the mission system. The real story, of murder, rape, and loss of culture, is rarely ever told. Deborah Miranda, the author of Bad Indians, brings to light the intentional and systematic erasure of her culture and the horrific experiences natives endured throughout…
