In the 19th century, Native American attitudes toward property were often fundamentally different from European-American views. Many Indigenous cultures viewed land as a communal resource rather than individual property, emphasizing stewardship and collective use over ownership. This perspective often clashed with European notions of private ownership, leading to significant conflicts over land rights and usage. As a result, many Native American tribes resisted treaties and policies that sought to privatize their lands and disrupt their traditional ways of life.
