Boundaries
Native societies were far from gentle. Many of the rituals and social code were harsh by European standards. These values of toughness and fortitude served well to help a person survive in the wilds of early America. Inter-tribal warfare, illness, hunger, wild animals, cold and heat, were all faced as hardships of everyday life. One more hardship was added in the Eighteenth Century; the rapid incursion of Europeans settlers. When a tribe or clan would move on to a hunting ground they had used the previous year, many times they found settlers and military posts squeezing them into smaller and smaller areas.
