In class we are reading pages in a history textbook and responding to the question of how reading it would shape my knowledge and views of Native Americans if I were an American student reading this as homework. We also found the definitions of savage and savagery; savage - fierce, ferocious, or cruel; uncivilized, barbarous; savagery - an uncivilized or barbaric state or condition.
If I were an American student reading this textbook for homework I would see Native Americans as uncivilized people living off of bare necessities and the land, and don't have any form of technology compared to Americans. I would believe they are uneducated savages who have no mercy for other people and who only care about survival at any cost.
