Indian's ...What Indians ?

Over the years the relationship between native Americans and new Englanders has become some what vague. Some new Englanders acknowledged the Indians and used them as a source to build up colonies, this type of story is something more commonly known today, especially with thanksgiving. Then there is the other side, the other type of settler that doesn't acknowedge the Indians and saw the land as "theirs" to live on and build colonies. Most literary pieces written about Indians and puritans is biased and normally takes the side of a puritan showing the community to be in unity with each other. This is where Tompkins brings up some good questions, was the puritans unity a positive quality in development ? And who's to say that the Indians were neither disciplined or visionary? Because these storys were developed so many years ago and by so many different people in different areas there is not going to be any easy facts about the realtionship between indians and puritans.
