The two recognized each other as of the same species, but most of the communication efforts between the two were futile. The language of the new comers differed significantly. They had an oral dialogue and written communication, which the natives understood nothing of. I find it most interesting, because I have ancestors that trace back to both the natives and the new comers. Before the reading, I did not know that the American colonies were not allowed to export cloth. I knew that trade of wool and cotton was a regular thing, but I never knew how important it was to the Europeans. Being an export of theirs for centuries, I understand why they wouldn’t want a competitor. I was also unaware of the vocabulary words, “Spindle Whorls”. I know wonder if this is the same way that ropes were made back then.
