From the landing of the Pilgrims on Plymouth Rock to the occupation of Alcatraz in San Francisco Bay by Indians in 1970, the relationships of white & Indian have been a continuing story of misunderstanding. The colonists, with their European concepts of private property, never comprehended the Indian outlook that the land belonged to all mankind. And although some settlers came to America to find religious freedom, they had no understanding of or tolerance for the Indians' philosophy of life. They consistently regarded the Indians as inferior people. Even today, men of good will differ widely on the methods of treating the "Indian problem" or, as the Indians with great merit describe it, the "white problem."
