The main difference in the conception of land and ownership between the Native Americans and the European Americans was that:
- Native Americans were spiritually bonded with the land, and they considered it as a creator of life, thus the land was not belonging to anyone, it was for everyone, and the people were the ones that were belonging to the land not vice versa.
- European Americans had a totally different point of view, and they considered the land as something that can be and should be owned, so they were trying to get hold of as much land as possible as their own, and thus restrict other people from using that piece of land.
