What is Settler?
[[File:Ingolf by Raadsig.jpg|thumb|300px|A modern (1850) picture of the first medieval settlers arriving in [[Iceland]]]] A '''settler''' is a person who has [[human migration|migrated]] to an area and made a permanent home there. Many times the reason is to [[colony|colonize]] the area. Many times in history settlers live on land which used to belong to people who had lived there a long time. These people are known as [[indigenous people]]. Other names are [[native]]s, [[Aborigines]] or, in the [[Americas]], [[Native American|Indians]]. This land is usually settled against the wishes of the indigenes. It is then controlled, defended and grown by force. == Related pages == * [[Conquistador]] * [[Immigrant]] * [[John Smith (explorer)]] * [[John Rolfe]] * [[Afrikaner]] * [[Cecil Rhodes]] * [[Warren Hastings]] * [[Robert Clive]] * [[John Hope, 1st Marquess of Linlithgow]] * [[Alexander Mackenzie (explorer)]] [[Category:Anthropology]]
