How did the arrival of Europeans affect relations among Native Americans in and around the Hudson River Valley?

What will be an ideal response?


ANSWER: Students must first describe the tribal alliances that existed in the region, as well as the reasons why those alliances came into existence. They should follow up by discussing the importance of the fur trade to both Native Americans and Europeans. Students must also explain why each Native American group chose to make alliances with the French or Dutch and what each side stood to gain from the arrangement. Finally, students must explain how these goals altered the interactions between Native American groups and what the results of these conflicts were.
