    The Native Americans lived a life that was a complete opposite from the way that the Euroeans were accustomed to.

    They believed that the land was shared by everyone and not one person could own it.

    The Native Americans also had a polytheistic religion which completely went agains the beliefs of the colonists.

    Colonists viewed the Native Americans as savages and barbarians because their ways of living were different. The Native Americans believed that man is ruled by respect and reverence for nature and that nature is an all and must be respected.

    Upon arrival to the new world, the European Americans adhered to a governmental monarchy, yet the Native Americans geld to a tribal form of government. These structures were ingrained into each society so that the very practice was one of deep cultural practice.

    The Europeans believe in an absolute commitment to the crown of England.

    However, the native americans devoted themselves to ecah and another and had no central ruler. Nonetheless, they did have many chiefs among the tribal chiefdoms that regulated relations among the tribal members.

    This diferences betwen cultures causes frequent clashes that often led to destruction of land and peole.

    Summarizing: The most important differences were:

    The form of government. The way in which society was structured. They religious beliefs. They economy system.
