There were about 300,000 Indians in eastern North America when the English arrived. Those 300,000 ranged over an approximately equal area of square miles. Ranged is the correct word. The Indians did not settle.There was about one Indian per square mile. They had been there for 10,000-15,000 years.
The Indians were hunters and warriors. They grew plant foodstuffs but did not cultivate the land. Thus, on both counts, their range.
Their moral code was reciprocity. Animal life was as important as human life. Immanent life was most important. There was a proper way to kill and there were improper ways to kill. Killing had to be done a proper way to satisfy the gods; otherwise moral reciprocity required satisfaction.
On the shores of this Indian world landed the English. To settle. To cultivate. It was the mother of all civilizational clashes.
