The statement that most accurately captures the differing attitudes toward land use and ownership between Europeans and Native Americans is:
**Europeans believed in conquering the land, while the Native Americans believed that people should respect the land.**
This reflects a broader understanding of how many European settlers viewed land as a commodity to be owned, cultivated, and exploited, often disregarding the spiritual and communal connections that many Native American cultures had with the land. Native Americans typically viewed land as a shared resource that held cultural significance and should be respected and preserved rather than dominated or destroyed.
