What Native Americans Did to Captive Invaders....

North America. By the middle of the 10th century, caravans of white settlers had travelled across the Great Plains to the Far West. These are now the modern states of Nevada, California, and Oregon. As a rule, the pioneers were very afraid of encounters with redskins. Not all tribes that met on their way were hostile, but sometimes individual settlers themselves provoked Indians to cruel actions. After the discovery of the American continents and the exploration of new lands, which was often accompanied by enslavement and extermination of the indigenous population, Europeans were amazed at the methods of struggle of the Red Indians.
