Lesson 2

Lesson 2—World Views and Relationships

What relationships emerged from the contact between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples?

Get Focused

Many of the histories and experiences of the Indigenous peoples of the Americas recount how first contact with Western Europeans led to relationships that deepened the cultural interaction between these two groups. In this lesson you will examine the motives for establishing a relationship and the perspectives held by each group about the relationship. Use the Explore selections to gather background as you inquire into these two questions:

  • What were the motives that led to the establishment of a relationship?

  • World Views – What perspectives did each group have about the relationship?
