Anthropologists and historians believe that the first inhabitants of the Western Hemisphere were migrants from Asia, most of whom most probably came by land between 13,000 B.C. and 9000 B.C. across a hundred-mile-wide land bridge between Siberia and Alaska. About 3000 B.C., some Native American peoples developed better cultivation techniques and began to farm a variety of crops, most notably maize (corn), which resulted in agricultural surpluses that laid the economic foundation for populous and wealthy societies in Mexico, Peru, and the Mississippi River Valley.…
The destruction of sacred lands and tarnishing of local environments are dishonesties adding to the ever increasing decay on the world. The Dakota access pipeline will increase the rate fossil fuels are consumed by oil refineries and petroleum plants for oil companies and governments seeking to profit from the faster transportation of oil. The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe are one of many tribes and citizens protesting the pipeline until the government re-assesses the pipelines effects on the environment and cease construction. The distaste of the pipeline lies with Dakotas Access’s malicious practices, environmental & cultural desecration with its construction.…
The Blackfoot Tribe is a group of Native Americans that lived in the Northern Great Plains. It consisted of four distinct nations, The Siksika, The Blood, The Pikinini, and The Blackfeet Nation.

The Americans came, we were told that the land is no longer ours. This is due to a law called andrew Jackson's Indian Removal Policy. I do not know who Andrew is, I already do not like him.The Americans have gave us nothing.The Americans had told us that we are going on a trail to a new land, we can have the land their.We did not have time to pack, and we did not have room to bring much.Once we started walking on the trail I could tell it was going to be a long walk, it was just one of these feelings. We walked for miles at a time without stopping for breaks.To be honest diary I do not believe the elders are going to make it, they keep slowing down and stopping. After about en miles I could no longer see the elders, I hope they are fine.We…
The Ojibway tribe is one of most well known Native American tribes. It is known as a variation of names, each variation more commonly used depending on the location of the Ojibway 's.

It’s been a long time since I have been able to write because of the overwhelming chores, the rain, and of course the sickness we have all finally overcome. We are camped in front of Chimney Rock. We will stay here for only 3 days and then we are off on our trail. My husband says we shouldn’t stay any longer to keep distance from the violent Indians that want to run us out of our trail to prosper. There have been many fights between them and American’s but, we have been lucky to have escaped any harm. (Schultz, 2012)…
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 gracious way of the Kiowas was a spectacular showing off their fortitude. Having to move would be terrible; if I was forcefully moved I don't know if I could handle it. Being taken from their homeland and moved into a strange place would be traumatic. I can feel their pain through the story, to be moved into a new place would suck. Can you imagine changing everything you do know to survive? I can’t imagine it, it would be very difficult to strive through that. The author wrote this story greatly; i feel the struggle they went through. The tremendous adversity they overcame is strategically amazing.…
The Tequesta was a small, peaceful native American tribe. They were the first tribe in south…

What are those astounding equipments advancing towards us? As the whites disembarked in our territory, these aliens gathered around a bizarre, godly man, who was riding a marvelous creature. As my tribe first glimpsed these people, we all taught that our god had heard our prayers and has come for our salvation and a stable life, but little did we know that these savage men came for our destruction. At first we praised and honored this “godly” man and his companions. The clan introduced our traditions, literature, and religious practices and permitted them trust, and as time flew by it revealed our vulnerabilities. When they acquired a chance, they struck and killed out chief, betraying this homecoming and nurturing tribe. Soon the tribe’s population decreased with a disease causing my people white, round, hurtful structures all over the skin causing their death.…
Did you know that the Shawnee Indian tribe is a fascinating tribe? I recently have learned that they are nomads. Nomads are people who travel instead of settling in one place. Southern Ohio, West Virginia, and western Pennsylvania were a couple of states they once lived in. Until around 1660 Iroquois drove out the tribe to southern Carolina, Tennessee’s Cumberland basin, eastern Pennsylvania, and southern Illinois. They had tried to return, but again they were forced to leave by American settlers. The settlers pushed them first to Missouri and then to Kansas, but the Shawnee people settled in Oklahoma after the Civil War.…
I was sixteen and had just joined a new church youth group. It was my first summer with the group and I was invited to go along with them on a mission trip to an Indian reservation in Bridger, South Dakota. I’d been told many things about the people of Bridger. They had very little in comparison to me but yet they were some of the happiest, most humble people I would have the pleasure of meeting. I was told that seeing what they had and what they made of it would change my perspective on life itself. I decided I would join the group that summer to see if what they said was really true.…
