The statement that best captures the difference in attitudes toward nature between Native Americans and white settlers is:
Native Americans believed nature was sacred. White settlers believed nature was a resource.
This distinction reflects the spiritual connection that many Native American cultures have with the land and the concept of stewardship, compared to the more utilitarian view held by many white settlers who saw nature primarily as a resource to be exploited for economic gain.
