There Goes The Neighborhood

The view of the natives of the settlers are very welcoming. They have a sense of hospitality that now in modern times we call southern hospitality. When the settlers arrive, the natives give the settlers everything the settlers want in return for very little. The native people were very respectful to the settlers, when the settlers treated them like they were nothing. The explorers thought that we're better than the natives because they thought that if your way isn't like our own then it is inferior. Also the explorers thought that since the natives didn't wear pants, that they were an uncivilized people. For instance, at my camp in Culver, Indiana people come from all over the world. The clash of communities starts with lots of different lifestyles that eventually become one. The people from the Middle East have to get a long with the people from South America. They all start out speaking their native language and not getting along with each other. Eventually one of them speaks to the other in English and they all come together. That's what makes the camp's motto One Culver because no matter where you come from or who you are you are just as equal as the person next to you.
