How Did Europeans View Native Americans?

...

Europeans were coming to America for several reasons, including looking for resources, getting wealth, and spreading religion. After they found out the society level of Native American was far behind to the Europeans, European technology is much advanced than Native American, so they began occupying land of Native American, getting raw material as much as they could, forcing Native American guide the way to get resources, and also spreading European religion to replace their tradition. For European, Native American was savage that their society was very primal. So European could do what they want and get what they want from Native American. European also didn’t allow Native American believing the different religion as heathen. In conclusion, those are the point of how Europeans viewed Native Americans.
