Indians, Missionaries, Pioneers, Developers

When the Europeans came to the Midwestern United States, the views of the missionaries must have been discomforting to the shamens of the Iroquis Nation.  But they were hunting souls, not land, so it was a curious but not society-shaking intrusion on their way of life.  When the pioneers came, cut and cleared the forests and plowed the land, that was a revelation of a more serious order.  Who would have known that, barely two hundred later, many of the farmer-descendants of those original settlers would be forced off their land by incorporation and development?  On a basic level, there's probably not much difference between an American Indian who has lost his way of life and an American farmer who has lost his.
