Invisible Native Americans
America was developed out of struggle and many people died in the pursuit of its economic and social transformations. Racial statuses in America have been imprinted on American culture and taught through the history of anything but a true American’s perspective. History did not start when a group of individuals chose to make documentation explaining social, economic, or political events; it began as soon as life was created in each race, not simply when one race began documenting the other. As Europeans immigrated to America, they began to settle and create colonies amongst neighboring Native Americans, which would ultimately lead to a drastic culture change. The Genocide which Europeans lead in the Americas was for the best intentions for Europeans, but Native Americans were racially profiled by the new established Government in America and these Native Americans didn 't receive the protection of rights established in the Constitution.( Sturgis, Amy . "Chapter 1 Overview: The Trail of Tears as Turning Point." The Trail of Tears and Indian Removal (2007): 2.) Aside from bringing warfare and diseases that would kill thousands of people, Europeans almost completely extinguished the Native American culture and history when they arrived in America; all due to the fact that the Europeans failed to accurately interpret the Native American speech. European immigration to America had a significant impact on the outcome of American history because, despite the previous settlement of Native Americans in America, documentation of their history was misinterpreted, lost, and disregarded because it was not what Europeans felt were necessary or pertinent historical events. In American history, Native American culture was once concealed, and the true nature of their history was blinded by the Bibles and the dominant European influences which slaughtered the origin of the Native American way
