Once upon a time, in a land far away, a group of people braved the oceans and lived in a new land.
The people that already lived on this wonderful land were initially friendly, and showed the incomers how to survive, and what to grow, so they could become strong.
The incomers were so grateful for their safe arrival and the help that they received; they had a party with the original people to celebrate.
Over time, the incomers decided that they needed even more room than they already had, so decided to take more land from the original people that already lived on it.
The original people soon learned that the incomers were greedy, and wanted it all for themselves.
They fought the incomers, that brought disease & weapons. They fought with weapons crafted from the natural environment around them, when the incomers had brought mechanical devices with them. They tried talking to the incomers, and agreed terms about land sharing, but the incomers betrayed them.
Eventually the incomers over ran the original people, and restricted where they could go and what they could do, almost treating them like animals in a zoo.
After their victory, the incomers wrote and told tales of how they had taken the land. They wrote about the people that had ignored the laws and taken land from the original people, and called them heroes.
They told of how the original people were savages beasts, and that the incomers that had fought them were brave.
And so history is written, and legends are made.
