Ibo Responce to the British

At first hen the British come the Ibo people are curious, but not hostile toward them. The only hostilities at first are when the oracle tells the people of one village that the white man would bring doom to them. So the people of this village killed the first white man that came to their village. When the other white men came and they saw that he had been killed, they wiped out the village. Other than that incident the Ibo people and the white men haven't had any conflicts. When the Christians came to Okonkwo's mother's village the villagers laughed at them and gave them a peice of the evil forest thinking it would kill them. The white men think that the Ibo people are savages and their way of life is primative. Because they think that they treat the Ibo people with almost no respect. They use their own customs and beliefes wen making trials and they only help people that have revered to the christian religion.
