Hernando De Soto creative writing put yourself in the mindset of the native cultures of North America and write about the encounters you and your communities or tribes had with the Spanish explorer and his men. Keep in mind that many of the native cultures and tribes had never seen a European white man (even though this may not be you) and all that they brought with them on their explorations through the southern territories of North America. Describe, in detail, your thoughts, feelings, observations, and the questions you may have had when you first saw these men and as you began to learn more about their possible intentions in the New World.
