Many times throughout history, specific events occur that explain why the existence of Native Americans are necessary for the Spanish and English colonists to survive. The Native Americans were like parents to the Spanish and English colonists. As a newborn baby is introduced to the new world, alike, the Spanish and English were introduced to a New World in which the Natives were already a part of. Their inhabitance of the land dates back to many thousands of years ago where they inhabited all regions of the America's. When the Europeans arrived the Natives gave the colonists knowledge about the land. At times the Natives cared for them and supplied them with food and various other things. They also provided work for the colonists whether the Natives were slaves, servants or allied forces. Economically, the Natives were needed very much for anything the colonists would export to Europe. Throughout history, the colonists' dependency on the Natives was clearly shown and the how the colonists exploited the Natives in every possible way was also clear.What the colonists needed most from the Natives was their knowledge of the land. Because the Natives lived in the America's for thousands of years, they are familiar with the area and
Not only were the colonists dependent on the knowledge the Natives provided, but they also needed their care and their supplies.

The previous examples prove the Natives were needed for the colonists' survival. Almost all of the English colonies in the beginning would have perished if it weren't for the Natives. The Natives are also responsible for "Supply[ing] [the first European colonists in the south] with rich harvests from their extensive fields... ." It's hard to believe that with all the violence that goes on between the two cultures, that the Natives would actually give their own addiction of tobacco to the colonists. The Natives taught the colonists how to grow these plants and they used the Natives' fertile, mild soil around the Mississippian River. As well as that, English colonists on the northeast shores of the U.S. farmed maize on the same land and fished in the same waters as the Algonquian tribe. There is an unending amount of examples of where the Natives provided care, supplies and life for the colonists. If the Natives were not there to provide these things, the colonists would
