Native Americans and American Colonists (Story Time with Mr. Beat)

The video explores the complex relationships between European colonists and Native American tribes from the 1500s to the 1700s. Initially, trade and coexistence were common, but conflicts arose due to differing land ownership concepts and European expansion. Key events include the Pequot War, King Philip's War, and the French and Indian War. The Iroquois Confederacy played a significant role in diplomacy.
