savages, just because many were fighters/warriors, so were we. I think the word has now come to mean that. I propose it was because the indians were MORE at the mercy of nature than the Europeans who squelched their culutre. That is the main difference between the two groups. The indians were more primative. Their community was more primitve by European standards. That, I feel is the reason for the term savage.mp
