    The Eastern Band of Cherokees resisted termination of tribal status and federal responsibilities in Indian affairs during 1940s and 1950s. “For the Eastern Cherokees, the battle over termination began in January 1947” (Nichols, 328). House Concurrent Resolution 108 was an act that called for the abolition of several Indian offices and termination trust responsibilities for certain specified tribes. The Public Law 280 was passed in 1953, which “transferred civil and criminal jurisdiction over most tribes states to the respective local governments and allowed any states to assume similar jurisdiction over their own Indian reservations” (Nichols, 335). The terminationists noted that the Indians deserved better treatment instead of being second-class citizenship because they served well in the war. They stated the Indians should become part of the mainstream American society.…

What good is giving people a proper education and accessible healthcare if lives are to be wasted at war? During Lacombe’s life natives were as likely to die from and epidemic as they were from a war breaking out. Lacombe used his friendship to calm to leaders of tribes and encourage them not to take part in fighting, to sign peace treaties, and to try and reconcile the differences between tribes, mainly the Cree and Blackfoot.(Hughes 134) When the Natives did fight Lacombe did not abandon them. He could be found “Praying over the wounded…

    The United States v. Sioux Nation of Indians was a case that was decided in the Supreme Court in 1980, but really goes back to the events surrounding the Fort Laramine Treaty of 1868. The events that led up to the Sioux Nation pursuing legal action can pretty much be summarized as the United States government using their military power and governmental law as a means to wrongfully and/or immorally take away land that was promised to the Sioux Nation in the Fort Laramine Treaty of 1868. The treaty stated that the Great Sioux reservation, including the Black hills, would be “set apart for the absolute and undisturbed use and occupation" of the Sioux Nation (Sioux), and that no treaty for the cession of any part of the reservation would be valid…

    The native American Standing Rock Sioux Tribe has a legitimate concern. These particular grounds have been under their influence for hundreds of years. This tribe along with many other have the right to express their concern. It is not uncommon for Native American tribes to live off land immediately within their proximity. If the water was to be contaminated it would have dire consequences for this tribe and many others. It would probably be safe to assume many burial sites and locations of worship would be disturbed as well. Any self-respecting corporations would recognize this dilemma immediately and take the appropriate actions to mitigate collateral damage, public scrutiny and most the degradation of a prideful…
