Introduction to Indigenous Relations in Jamestown & Plymouth

Jamestown (1607): The English settlers encountered the Powhatan Confederacy. Initial relations were tense, but some trade and cooperation occurred. Over time, conflicts arose, leading to violence and displacement.

Plymouth (1620): The Pilgrims established their colony with the help of the Wampanoag. Relations were initially cooperative, with the Wampanoag assisting the Pilgrims in survival. However, tensions increased over land and resources later on.

Historian View: Some historians argue that the relationships between settlers and Indigenous peoples were shaped by mutual dependency, while others highlight the conflict and dispossession caused by colonization.
