Was there competition for land or resources between first nations and the colonists?

Yes, there was significant competition for land and resources between First Nations and colonists. As European settlers expanded into North America, they often disregarded Indigenous land rights and treaties, leading to conflicts over territory and access to Natural Resources. This competition resulted in numerous confrontations, displacement of Indigenous peoples, and lasting impacts on their societies and cultures. The struggle for land was a central aspect of the broader colonial encounter.
