According to Google the definition of savage means fierce, violent, or uncontrolled in its adjective form. When it is used as a noun it means a member of a group of uncivilized or primitive people.
In the online textbook archives Indians were not seen as great people. The textbook describes them as a copper-brown color and as if they were some type of strange creature that did not belong in the New World. The Northmen also known as the vikings traded with the Indians for skins and furs. The word savage is used to describe the Indians alike they are animals.
If I were an American students reading this I would think that the Indians were horrible people and just wanted to kill everyone they came into contact with. The word savage makes them seem vicious and relentless almost like a character from a movie.
