How did the majority of native people feel about european imperialism

Americans and Europeans each claimed that it had been their responsibility as superior races to uplift the standards, make the people more civilized and spread the teachings of Christianity to the native people. This was called the White Mans Burden and was based mostly upon the concepts of the social theory of evolution. But for the Native people, it was not acceptable and therefore they opposed to the colonization.

Explanation:

social contract theory basically says that all individuals are born equal, and provided a god given right to consent to be governed. american government is based of this

thomas hobbes and john locke said that we are selfish, individualistic, and constantly at war with each other, therefore we need to be controlled. 

government is defined as the legitimate use of force to control human behavior within territorial boundaries, here comes in hobbes and locke.

hobbes takes the part about controlling human behavior. while locke takes the part of legitimate use of force, since force is not legitimate unless there is consent of the people. 

there are basically 3 goals of the government: 1) maintain order by protecting life and property. 2) providing public goods, those which are typically not provided by the public sector, such as roads and education. 3) promote equality be it political, opportunist or outcome equality.
