I would assume indian wars had something to do with hunting territory and protecting the women. The concept to OWN land never occured to them. Indians worshipped the spirts of the land around them. That's where you got the term Mother earth. The animals share the land with us, they live there but they don't own it. A bear can say who hangs in his hunting area...
Also indians traveled from summer to winter areas for hunting. They never settled into an area and called it home and stuck it out through thick and thin. They had Teepees that they broke down and moved the whole camp with them. If they ate a fish, the bones they buried thanking the fish spirit for giving them strength. They believed in returning to the earth what you took from it.
The indians were willing to share the land with the white man as long as he respected the tribes of the land...The white man bargained for land and the indians snickering no doubt sold it to them. They were very surprised to be told to leave, and freaked out that fences were put up. That was their mind set, who could blame them.... I wouldn't think anyone owned the sunshine, and yet our government has found a way to tax those who use solar heat.
Strange, I wonder how the Navajo tore down their pueblos....
