Recommended: Settlers in native america

I chose my second theory, which is that the Native Americans came to the island and ran them off. I chose this theory because at the time, the Europeans were enslaving the Native Americans and stealing their land so therefore the Natives were getting kind of mad at the Europeans. The island the Natives were on was called Croatoan, and that was carved into the post when John White came back to the island. The natives were known as “barbaric” or able to kill people, so that’s why many believe that the natives came and kidnapped them and destroyed their homes. When White came back to the island after 3 years being gone (voyage delayed because of the war) nothing but the fence and what was carved into the tree. There was no signs of the colonists

    The lack of resources could have caused them to move inland to find more food and shelter than there was on the island. The colony most likely split into two separate groups one group that stay in case Smith ever came back and the other that moved in ward to find resources (Lawler, Andrew). The reason buildings and all were lost is because in order to move in ward they would have had to build a ship out of the wood from their houses. Once they moved in ward they would have found water and food to hunt. Eventually these people would have assimilated with Native American tribes (History.com). As for the other group that stayed they would have been taken over by the Native American tribe the Croatan. This explains the word Croatan carved into the tree that John White found. It would also explain the skeleton found but it still leaves the mystery of why there was only one skeleton

    Some people think that the colonists left on the ships that remained. according to records from John White, the vessels left were not seaworthy. The vessels were also rather small and would not be large enough to accommodate the materials missing from the fort along with all of the settlers. That would also be improbable because that would provide no explanation for the word Croatoan carved in the palisade. The Natives did not know how to write in English so they are not responsible for this.

    Native American and settler have always been fighting over land, and the movie clip, Pocahontas explains it in a different way. They were fighting because the Native Americans captured John Smith from the settlers. This fight was stopped because Pocahontas jumped in front of the potential murder of John Smith. She did this because she loved him and also she did not want anyone to fight, she told her father about what he caused by capturing him from the settlers.

  • The Land Bridge Theory: A Very Brief History Of Native Americans

    3245 Words  | 7 Pages

    The Land Bridge Theory is the most popular theory of how the Native Americans migrated to the New World. This theory was first proposed in 1590 by José de Acosta and has been widely accepted since the mid-1900s. The Land Bridge Theory simply states that people (Native Americans) migrated from Siberia to Alaska across a land bridge that spanned the current day Bering Strait. The first people to populate the Americas were believed to have migrated across the Bering Land Bridge because they were tracking large game animal herds. This theory is widely accepted by many historians and is brought up in several textbooks. People still argue today about how long this Native American ancestors have been settled in America for, but many believe that these Native Americans came over the land bridge around 15,000 years ago.

  • Mood, Atmosphere and Place in The Return of the Native

    Throughout The Return of the Native, Thomas Hardy is very successful in creating mood and atmosphere.  Some scenes are so descriptive that a very clear mental picture can be formed by the reader, causing a distinct sense of place.  It seems that through his words, Hardy is submerging the readers into his story letting us take part only as an onlooker.  It is at the beginning that the strongest mood, the heaviest atmosphere and the most obvious sense of place occurs, as once the scene is set and the characters are introduced, scenery is much repeated.
