Indians were of many different tribes and there was no form of one gove.,so why not other people?

Answer 1

Other people began to takeover their neighboring clans, tribes, and larger groups....enforcing their dominance...a nationalistic undertaking. The result was few governments. Whereas, the American Indian Tribes pretty much stuck to their tribal groupings and were more concerned with survival and living in harmony with their natural surroundings....not too many empire builders among them (except, of course, excluding the Mayans, Aztecs and Incas who chose to dominate their neighboring tribes.)

Answer 2

there were large, majotr governments and cities (Azteks, Mayans, and even Cahokia in Illinois). They were about 100 million people with lots of land, and didn't need to fence everything in or draw up deeds - they had other mechanisms to differentiate turfs that were just as sophisticated as European methods, even if they were not valued as such.

They had extensive trade routes spanning thousands of miles, they had elaborate trade and inter-community contact rituals, and they had rich and vibrant cultures that only ethnocentricism and arrogance could dismiss as "uncivilized."

warfare was no more common between nations than in any other part of the world, and maybe less. The British appalled their Indian allies with their practices of slaughtering all enemy combatants.

tribes were generally governed by chiefs who ruled largely by consensus (except in the larger, tropical empires), and tribe members generally had a lot of input into important discussions. Even women, although they generally had their own councils, and in some cultures they appointed the chief.

Answer 3

Native Americans were stateless societies under the dictatorship of a chief who was established by merit. These tribes were able function internally as everyone worked like a family does in order to keep a house running. Everyone did their share of work and what became someone's problem would be treated like everyones problem.

But Native Americans were nomads in a sense they took what land they please. They stole and destroyed what they pleased also. They needed no government because they were not sophisticated enough to develop one, there system worked by a chief determining what would be best for a tribe and no one would dare dismiss what he had to say.

Modern society would not be able to function like the Native Americans because the modern world calls for a more complex system. Native Americans in no way had a system of order that "other people" would want to mimic, because a society like that doesn't work. Take for example the trouble parts of Africa faces. Some of the turmoil comes from bad leadership based on primitive ideas that never evolved as the modern world did.

Answer 4

Indian tribes were too busy killing each other to form a government, but Micky Mouse won't tell you about that because it ruins the Disneyland fantasy you are apparently living.

Answer 5

This question needs some clarification. It is OK till you get to the "so why not .." and then it stops making sense. I am assuming you are asking about Native Americans not about the people who lived in India, but that is not clear either.

Answer 6

the different tribes were often isolated geographically. But ther were major gov'ts in indian culure, look at the aztecs

Answer 7

To start off with.. your basis is onerous..
Natives did have a form of government.. it just wasn't based on British norms and values..

"so why not other people?"
I'm not understanding your question. "Other People" also got along fine without any formal govt.

Answer 8

In contrast to your question you might consider reading about the Iroquois Confederacy and their contribution to American Government and its establishment. It might surprise you.

Answer 9

Each tribe was a separate nation, and they were constantly at war with each other.

Answer 10

Unfortunately your question makes no sense. Rephrase it, be clear about what you ask, and we will give it a try. Sorry.
