It began around the 15th century (Columbus) at a time when large parts of the world were isolated from one another. So widespread contact with the Native Americans was relatively new. Sometimes, the inhabitants helped explorers by acting as interpreters and providing information about geography and sources of food and water. More often, explorers tried to conquer or colonize them and European settlements displaced numerous tribes, setting in motion the sad fate of Native Americans. In all, colonization had a pretty disastrous effect on the natives…war, slavery, starvation, disease (especially smallpox)… The Spanish, however, provided Native Americans of the Great Plains with an unintended gift: horses, and, of all the European colonial powers, the French enjoyed the best relationship with Native Americans.
