Collin G. Calloways New Worlds for All is a wonderfully scripted look into the relationship surrounded by the indiginious volume and the Europeans who came to the States. His work fritter a shipway a incompatible path than those of unlike historians. There is a creative genius in how he explores the historical facts and insight into the history of the deuce different good deals lives. It is a helpful look at the lineage of the clock and brings a new insight into the historical facts of our time.Covering events from the Revolutionary contend in his introduction where our fore fathers asked the Indians to non stand at their location scarce remain passive in the fight for freedom in the introduction. Quoting some(prenominal) of our fore fathers, the tact they used in their bid to stun the aboriginal people to think that they were all one and that they stood together with them. for each(prenominal) one of the ten chapters covers a wide range of subject matter from the inte ractions with the Europeans and the Natives, to the state of war of the Natives against each other as well as against the invading Europeans. We take a walk through the Seven years war as well as all the wars that came before and after.It takes a look at the way the Europeans arrived in North America and wanted to build societies oft like the ones they had left behind in Europe. It alike goes on to rationalise that while they thought they were superior they found that the Native people were in slightly cases more than advanced and superior than their suffer culture. How their arrival changed not only the workings of the native communities but the very land they lived on with the cutting down of trees for homes and the over hunting of their lands for food making it harder for them to fare their own families.The chapter on disease and healing was an amazing look at how the European disease affected the natives. It also looked at how the natives dealt with healing as not so mu ch healing as conflict as they were complementary. Calloway goes on to say that while Native America people were not completely disease free the magnitude of their diseases were actually rather simple, from aches and pains to snake bites.Medicine men had a vast knowledge of herbs and plants that could be used for medicinal purposes. He covers the decimation of entire tribes by disease some of them brought by the Europeans and others brought by the natives themselves as they traded in foreign lands. There were several ceremonial aspects to the trade with the natives that the Europeans tried to immix into their own trades.The Stuff of flavour in chapter three goes into depth about the interactions of the native people and the Europeans as they not only struggled to coexist as well as integrate the bits and pieces of each others cultures into their lives. Learning how to do somethings otherwise like hunting for food and even the diets and c downhing they wore took on the difference s of what they acquire from each other.In the next chapter Calloway talks about the integration of ghostly beliefs of the different people the Christians that brought with them their beliefs in one God and his word, it brought many of the natives into a new religious arena where they learned about bibles, churches, missions, priest and ministers. Indian religions tended to be less exclusive and intolerant than that of the Christians. It is an interesting look at the way they handled the integration of the Christians not only into their culture but into their lives and how their own beliefs were shaped outside of what the Christians believed.Chapter five takes a look at the ways the Europeans affected the Indians in their warfare not only against the Europeans but also against other natives. The face of the way war was fought not only between warring tribes. The turning point in the tribal warfare changed on one Instance, 1609 when the Algonkin and the Montagnais Indians, the use o f guns made this an uneventful war and short lived but it opened the door way to the Indian people to guerrilla warfare as well as the use of guns. The introduction of guns made the native weapons basically useless.Chapter Six, the diplomacy and Foreign affairs of the Europeans and the Indians were at times damn and deadly, fighting to preserve their own lands the Indians had to adapt to the foreigners as they invaded and the Europeans were after more land and more land, always fighting with the Europeans trying to maintain the equaliser between the two worlds was difficult one side or the other was always violating the treaties that they signed.As more Europeans moved into the new world and more warfare and diseases ravaged the lands the Indians were forced to move from place to place and remodel their world and lives often in environments that were not their own and dealing with people that they knew nothing about, this often created tension and conflicts. As well as the indis pensableness for the Indians were forced to adapt to the world almost them.There is a lot of great information in this book, and a fresh perspective that takes the ref weather a professional historian or just the fairish reader into the lives of people from different worlds.
