 Markers of the Transformation and Changes in the Representation of Native Americans
Colonization was a key factor in the alteration of Native Americans’ characteristics. The initial North America inhabitants underwent great suffering due to European colonialism. As a result, their culture and lifestyle were irreversibly changed within a short time period. Diseases, land loss, and imposed rules that contradicted their culture were all elements that contributed to these changes. After the arrival of the Europeans, new diseases were introduced to the native people. This indigenous Americans were unaware of the diseases that resulted in a large number of deaths owing to a lack of immunity. The Europeans also introduced wine, horses, and rifles, altering the Native Americans’ way of life, particularly hunting for food. Because Native Americans’ cultural groups were founded on their subsistence methods, these shifts resulted in new groupings. As a result of the movement of some groups, fighting over territory erupted, and groups that had enough of food now lacked enough.
