ReadingEarly America: The Europeans and the Native Americans It’s 1482 and Christopher Columbus lands in America on an island in the Caribbean Sea. He brings many men and animals on his ships. Some of the animals have serious illnesses, for example, malaria and smallpox. Soon, many of the Native Americans become very sick. These are diseases that are new in America and the Native Americans are dying from them because they don't have the same immunity as the European travellers. This means that they can't fight the diseases as well as the Europeans can.By 1600 most of the Native Americans on the island where Christopher Columbus first landed in 1482 were dead from these diseases. The main reason was that the animals were ill. The cows had tuberculosis, the pigs had the flu, and the chickens had malaria. Smallpox was the worst of all the diseases. Native Americans used natural healing, but this wasn’t enough for such serious illnesses. The Europeans, on the other hand, were skilled in advanced medicine. They weren’t always friendly to the Native Americans, but when they could help, it was an advantage to both sides.There were times when the Native Americans could help the Europeans, too. For example, during the winter of 1535 to 1536, the French explorer, Jacques Cartier and his crew were trapped in the St. Lawrence River near Montreal. Their ships were frozen in the ice from November to March. The men on the ship were sick and twenty-five of them died. The Native Americans were skilled enough to free them. They could also use natural medicine to help the sick men. Soon, the Europeans were feeling better because of help from the Native Americans.Today’s Native American medicine still includes some of the old healing rituals and practices, and many Native Americans use herbs and other natural medicines. 1.
