L'invention de l'« Indien »
L'un des premiers gestes de la colonisation européenne des Amériques n'a pas été de voler les terres autochtones, mais bien l'attribution d'un nom et plus exactement l'attribution erronée d'un nom.

Colonisation
Lorsque les puissances européennes se sont tournées vers l'Amérique du Nord, environ 300 ans après la supposée découverte du continent (qui, pour eux, était le « Nouveau Monde »), cette région est devenue un lieu de colonisation pour les Français et les Britanniques.

Les luttes de pouvoir coloniales
La guerre et les changements politiques ont également contribué à la destruction du mode de vie, des moyens de subsistance et de l'existence physique des Autochtones.
