because it has had such a major impact on the
modern world. It is often responsible for the
movement of peoples throughout the world and is
often a factor in the rate of development of

motives. They wanted new sources of raw materials
and precious metals, and (later) new markets; but
they also claimed that they were assuming
responsibility for bringing ...

impacted upon the lives of all the Aboriginal
people that lived in and around the invaded areas.

it as Terra Nullius, and this alone gives a
significant insight as to the mentality of the
British and their willingness to acknowledge the

arguing that the exp...

which was comprised of Mohawks, Senecas, Oneidas,
Cayugas, and Onondagas. These tribes were
originally separated, but later brought together
by two Indians named Hiawatha and Deganawidah.
Hiawatha seemed to be the spokesman while
Deganawidah took on the role as a philosopher.

them so strong was the way in which they governed
themselves. Women in thei...
