Struggles Following the Arrival of the Europeans

# data[].attributes.body
The Natives were highly reliant on what was known as the Sister Crops (corn/maize, squash, and beans.)  With the arrival of the Europeans, the Natives were introduced with many new crops and even the idea of farm animals.  Though it brought many pros, diversification was yet another example of Natives being forced to adapt to a New World in their own home. One of the conflicts diversification brought for the Natives was an unfair trade system that played largely off of the inferiority complex.

Being that Europeans colonized the Americas with the intent of prosperity, there was a great deal of social conflict when the Europeans sought ideas for how to achieve such prosperity. The enslavement of the Natives lead to a lasting inferiority complex that still continues to shape the views of Native Americans.

Especially in the Northeast, Natives developed a lifestyle based around the "hunting and gathering" technique (nomadism.)  Nomadism created a constantly changing lifestyle for Native tribes that was difficult to maintain upon the arrival of Europeans.
