The Native Americans had no written language to record their history, that means that without the intervention of the European explorers and colonists, we wouldn't know the specific details of their culture just as we don't have anything except fossils, artifacts and cave paintings from those stone age tribes that used to populate Europe. People tend to overlook the positive aspects and view the European interlopers in a negative light, they weren't all bad, and they did do a lot of great things. Without them, we wouldn't know the specific beliefs of the Native Americans, just like we don't know much about Paleo-Indians 10,000 years ago other than what they left behind in fossils and artifacts. The Paleo-Indians can't talk to us, but their more recent descendants did talk to Europeans that came to their continent, and those Europeans wrote what they heard down, so that is why we know about them today. We know who Pocahontas was, it took Europeans to make her famous, without them, she would have been just another chieftain's daughter and would be forgotten about with the passage of time. Of course her tribe was also wiped out by disease, and that is a tragedy. The sands of time would have erased them over many generations anyway, just as it did the Paleo-Indians that used to hunt woolly mammoths on the great plains.<img src="http://www.losttribesflorida.com/uploads/1/5/3/6/15362908/5201733.jpg?456" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />we will never know what these people believed.</blockquote>
