When the first European explorers crossed the Atlantic and landed in Newfoundland, that was exactly what it was... a new found land. Of course the natives were already here, but you know those Europeans... take take take! I found it, so now it's mine! The natives were regarded as savages and hardly human. No better than the animals they hunted for food and pelts. Basically the same attitude as those who stole African people and sold them as slaves. A very brutal time in history.
