Answers
Answer :
-Many Native Americans used horses brought to the New World by Columbus to transform their hunting and gathering into a highly mobile practice
-Native Americans traded tobacco with the Europeans which later became the first truly global commodity
Explanation:
Europeans expanded their Christian/Catholic values, and Natives (with the aid of missionaries) embraced many Catholic beliefs with their own, converting their "gods" into Catholic Saints as a result of European attempts to convert Natives to their beliefs. By pushing labour and transmitting illness to the native population, the Columbian Trade influenced relations between Europeans and natives.
