SOCIALS WORK (3A)
AMERICAN CULTURES BEFORE EUROPEANS
All the cultures in America before the Europeans came were sacred, everything had its purpose, it was a very organized constitution in which people didn’t lived to get rich, but to serve some main purposes that determined a live.
The bosses or the leaders were called “caciques” and were the ones that controlled the wealth of each tribe. In ancient America it was habit that in order to show honor and respect to their leader the people made him different types of tributes:
For example there was the party tribute which was an obligation to the people work in what the “cacique “ wanted in party season ( mainly were religious acts). Also were tributes for crops, military services and Wanderings.
When the Europeans came they where only interested in gold, silver, money and jewels, which make it totally different from the Natives in which converted the gold and other precious stones into sculptures of the world around them. The luxury stones were found in rivers and lakes which provided the Indians a lot of it and without any ambition slowly and cautiously the Americans took out only the necessary. On the other side the Spaniards massively took out all the gold in the mines and the work that Indians made were made into golden bars for a better market sale. The Indians let this figures be taken away because at the beginning they thought Europeans where monsters, because for them the objects such as swords and mirrors where unknown, but the obsession with money and power, made native realize the ones invading were human.
Now I wonder, who is smarter the Europeans that took all the fancy jewels and gold they could, or the Americans that in an organized way lived in a better civilization?
