Good morning, everyone. Today we are going to talk about native Americans. The native Americans, the people we call the Indians, had been in America for many thousands of years before Christopher Columbus arrived in 1492.
The Indians were kind to the early settlers. They were not afraid of them and they wanted to help them. They showed the settlers the new world around them; they taught them about the local crops like sweet potatoes, corn and peanuts; they introduced the Europeans to chocolate and to the turkey; and the Europeans did business with the Indians.
But soon the settlers wanted bigger farms and more land for themselves and their families. More and more immigrants were coming from Europe and all these people needed land. So the Europeans started to take the land from the Indians. The Indians had to move back into the centre of the continent because the settlers were taking all their land.
The Indians couldn’t understand this. They had a very different idea of land from the Europeans. For the Indians, the land, the earth, was their mother. Everything came from their mother, and everything went back to her. The land was for everyone and it was impossible for one man to own it. How could the white man divide the earth into parts? How could he put fences round it, buy it and sell it?
Naturally, when the white man started taking all the Indians’ land, the Indians started fighting back. But the white man was stronger and cleverer. Slowly he pushed the Indians into those parts of the continent that he didn’t want—the parts where it was too cold or too dry or too mountainous to live comfortably. By 1875 the Indians lost the fight; they were living in special places called "reservations. "
There are many Hollywood films about the fight between the Indians and the white man. Usually in these films the Indians are bad and the white man is good and brave. But was it really like that? What do you think? Do you think the Indians were right or wrong to fight the white man?
OK, that’s all for today’s lecture. If you are interested in the study of Indians, please feel free to contact me.
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the recording you have just heard.
23.What do we know about the early European settlers?
24.Why did the Indians have to move back into the centre of the continent?
25.What can we learn from the speaker’s attitude towards the Indians?
