Essay / Research Paper Abstract
4 pages in length. Given the proper circumstances, traditional Native American cultures could never have co-existed alongside European American cultures, inasmuch as neither one even remotely upheld the same attributes. The Native Americans lived their lives in accordance to a higher influence supported by their affinity with the land and its animals; theirs was a cultural existence built upon harmony and compassion. European colonists, by stark contrast, barreled through indigenous country with a 'slash and burn' mentality: To wipe clean any remnant of cultural presence that did not abide by their own myopic – and highly destructive – point of view. As such, there could never have been such a thing as 'proper circumstances' where the cultural rift between European colonists and Native Americans were concerned, illustrating how historical accounts of Puritan settlement were both accurate and inevitable.

who sought a better life, the Puritans created a new existence in America different from what they had known in England; however, their quest for religious freedom ultimately turned them
into the same cultural tyrants they sought to flee back in England. The Native Americans were looked upon as nothing more than squalor, typically referred to as lacking culture,
being stupid and not worthy of retaining their heritage. The cultural reality envisioned by European colonists was nothing even close to that of the Native Americans, inasmuch as the
settlers had no desire to include the indigenous people in their progressive plans. Rather, the marginalized Indian population became subservient to the whims of the European colonists with regard
to every aspect of their existence (Kalayjian, 1996). This particular avenue of oppression played an integral role in the inevitability of racial division.
That Native Americans were not permitted to uphold their own cultural choices amid the controlling airs of Puritanism set the stage for the synergistic impact such restriction ultimately had
