They had lived peacefully on the land, for hundred of eld till the early 1800s when white settlers began their move towards the West. As these white settler came upon the indigenous Americans they brought with them unwavering beliefs that would end up causing great conflicts with the autochthonal people, who had their own focussing set of values. It was clear that the white man and the Native Americans could not live among each other peacefully for their values and floriculture were much too different. The Native Americans who occupied America before all white settlers ever reached the shores covered the land as the waves of a wind-ruffled ocean cover its shell paved floor (1).
