Create an organizer comparing the claims to the Pacific Coast of the Europeans and the Native peoples. What criteris will you use?

How would you like us to help you with this assignment?

Don't you think that the Native peoples should have first claim on the land because they were here first?

Yeah, but what criteria should I use???

I don't really get it..

I have to compare their claims to the Pacific Coast, and I don't really seem to find their claims in my book section either?

PLEASE HELP!!!!

I really can't find any of their claims in order to answer this question.

I need the criteria as well. I do understand that the Natives were there first, but what other criteria can I talk about?

I don't think that the first claim thing really answers by question because the question is...

create an organizer comparing rhe claims to the pacific coast of the europeans and the natives peoples, what criteria can you use?

The criteria is the basis for each of the claims.

Your teacher can give you more information about the criteria he/she expects.

yes I know that, but I can't ask my teacher right now

I no what the criteria is , but can't you help me with it? what criteria I should use as the basis of the claims?

To create an organizer comparing the claims of the Europeans and the Native peoples to the Pacific Coast, you can use the following criteria:

1. Discovery:
- Europeans: Europeans claimed to have "discovered" the Pacific Coast during their explorations, considering it as uncharted territory.
- Native peoples: Native peoples had inhabited and had been living on the Pacific Coast for thousands of years before the arrival of Europeans, therefore, they did not discover it but considered it as their home.

2. Occupation and Settlement:
- Europeans: Europeans viewed the Pacific Coast as an opportunity for colonization and establishment of permanent settlements.
- Native peoples: Native peoples had longstanding established cultures, societies, and settlements along the Pacific Coast, with their own systems of governance and civilization.

3. Resource Exploitation:
- Europeans: Europeans sought to exploit the natural resources of the Pacific Coast, including furs, timber, minerals, and later on, gold.
- Native peoples: Native peoples had a deep respect for the land and its resources, utilizing them sustainably for their subsistence and cultural needs.

4. Relationships with the Environment:
- Europeans: Europeans often viewed the environment as something to conquer and exploit for personal gain.
- Native peoples: Native peoples had a more harmonious and balanced relationship with the environment, considering themselves as part of nature and living in harmony with it.

5. Cultural and Social Impact:
- Europeans: Europeans brought their own cultural and social systems to the Pacific Coast, often imposing their values, norms, and institutions upon native populations.
- Native peoples: Native peoples' cultures and societies were deeply interconnected with the land and the sea, and they faced significant disruptions and challenges as a result of European colonization.

By organizing the claims of Europeans and Native peoples using these criteria, you can effectively analyze and compare their different perspectives, motivations, and impacts on the Pacific Coast.
