The statement is true.

It is true that Native Americans were mostly hunters who relied on buffalo for food, clothing, and shelter. White settlers were mostly farmers and ranchers who raised crops and cattle.

Native American Indian tribes used to hunt animals to feed their families and also collected berries and fruits. They had a different conception of property that the white people had. For the Indians, Mother Nature provided everything they needed. That is why they honored and respected the Earth with chants and dances. For the white European settler, they used the land as a resource to be exploited and have a profit.
