Conclusion

After completing this virtual field trip, you should have a better understanding of how life changed for Native American Indians as the colonists (the “new neighbors”) moved in.

• Do you think that, in general, their quality of life improved or worsened?
• Did Native Americans still have the freedoms they enjoyed before?
• Could they still use the land and its resources freely?
• Were children protected and well-cared for?
• Did most colonists treat Native Americans as equals?

Consider what you have read and seen on your virtual field trip and then decide if the colonists made good neighbors.
