But, in general, some Native Americans early on did not have a problem sharing their lands with the new people. Later, the French hunters and trappers seemed to get along with them. But the waves of settlers coming from the original 13 colonies and claiming land as their own in places like Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, caused big problems. Those problems only grew over time with westward expansion until there were the Indian wars of the 1800s. I realize that is a gross oversimplification. And the conflict still exists. Today, Native American protesters are camped out on the path of a proposed oil pipeline running through their traditional lands in North Dakota.
