In the book The Mayflower, by Nathanael Philbrick, a settler by the name of Benjamin Church convinces a group of Native Americans to turn against other tribes and become allies with Church and the settlers. Although in the short term this may have appeared to be a good option for the Native Americans siding with Church, in the long run it proved to be their downfall. In fact Church was not concerned with the welfare or future of the tribes, he was concerned only about protecting the welfare of the European settlers and their future.
This Storybird represents the time in history when the absolute power of European settlements was still in question. Native Americans still had a say in how the balance of power was to be established and conducted.
This is important to consider because at the time the number of settlers was far less than the number of Native Americans, and for the previous fifty years power and resources were shared in peace. If the Native Americans could have prolonged the war or even were victorious, there may have been a return to the division of power between the two cultures.
When I think about it now I realize that often cultures that share the same territory and resources can remain at peace as long as both cultures need the presence of the other. When this need is eliminated, so is the peace.
