Question

Describe what freedom meant to the indians and how that conflicted with the interests and values of most white americans

Answer 1

The freedom for the Native Americans meant that they could continue living the way they always did, doing what they wanted in accordance to their customs and traditions and their way of life. To live off the Earth and in harmony with Earth. But to the most of white Americans they looked like savages and the Americans wanted to use the land to look for resources like gold which indicates a different relationship with the land than the one Native Americans had.
