Native Americans and their lives havzibdkcojxugavs. CK uuhheisbsb ihabavaihahajxihs jaiaijahahahbahs hahahahaha Native Americans Of North Carolina - American Indians had been living in North Carolina for at least 9,500 years before European explorers first encountered them in the 1520's. For the past several decades an increasing number of Americans have been identifying as American Indians. For centuries before European contact, these native people lived in harmony with the natural environment, taking no more from the land than they needed to survive. Of all the states in the Union, North Carolina has witnessed the largest increase in Native American population during the past 100 years, based upon official government census documents....

    Throughout the years the Spanish, English, French and Dutch which are four main colonies have had excellent relationships with the native and some of the colonies did not have a superb relationship with the native. The colonies present the native disease that they brought over from their homeland. Most of the colonies tried to make the native slaves and take most of the native’s supplies and food. Some colonies tried to take the native lands so the colonies could build on them. Even though these hard times were happening throughout the years to the native there was still some positive that came out of the evilness.…

    Native Americans had been all throughout the United States in early history, keeping to themselves living their lives. Americans believed the Indians to be savage and not worth the life they lived and some thought they should be exterminated, however, there were those who had compassion that believed that the Indians should be converted to Christianity and then everything would be fine (23). Native Americans showed as much willingness as white people to participate in the market economy (48). The Indians figured out different ways to communicate with the whites so that they would be able to trade and barter with them effectively (27).…

    Maureen is a psychology major who is conducting a study on memory. The participants in her experiment study a long list of words and then recall the list by verbalizing the words to Maureen.

    Narrator: Overall, many events in American history has shaped Native people as a whole, but individually they all handled it differently. From the first step in a New World, the Colonists changed how the Native people diversified themselves, adapted to an ever-changing world full of disease, horses, and alcohol, how the Natives organized their society, and how they would be able to remain true to their Native roots without adopting European customs. Each of these tasks was a further step for a colonial foothold in Indian America.…

    Have you ever imagined life as a Native American in the time period of the Columbian Exchange? Did life change drastically for thousands of people? What events went on as more and more new things were exposed into the lives of the Native Americans? Daniel K. Richter turns the gaze of early American history around and forces the reader to consider stories of North America during the period of European settlement rather than just the European colonization of North America in his novel, Facing East from Indian Country: A Native History of Early America. Richter, being an American Historian focuses both his research and teaching on colonial North America and on Native American history dating back before 1800. Through Richter’s writing he reintegrated Indians into the history of North America by expressing their side of the event and/or time in history as well as the side of the first-hand settlers in America. Richter states in the novel, “Perhaps the strangest lesson of all was that in the new nation Whites were the ones entitled to be called “Americans.” Indians bizarrely became something else” (p.2). Through the detailed writing in the novel it is not possible to dismiss the formative role of the Native Americans in the history of colonial and early America.…

    First off, their populations were drastically decreased by up to 90% due to diseases like smallpox and poor treatment from the colonizing people such as the Spaniards. This major change happened because the Native Americans had never been involved in any major trade so their immune system could not fight diseases like the Europeans could. The Native Americans also experienced poor treatment from explorers because they did not have the technology necessary to defend themselves against invaders who had gunpowder and metal armor. Since the Europeans saw that they were stronger than some American civilizations, or saw that they could take them down easily, they completely changed the natives ways of life by putting the into slavery and using them as free labor. All this treatment was so bad that many indians died and in the 16th Century was labelled as the Great…

    It is clear that throughout many years there has been an exemption of treatment when talking about the Native Americans in the United States. Supposedly every individual is endowed with the right of freedom, equality, and of seeking for happiness, but Native Americans were treated irrationally. From the discovery of America, to the founding fathers and settlers, the treatment and attitude towards Native Americans has been unsettling at best. The colonial policies toward the Native Americans affected the Indians in ways that changed their relationship between their tribes and the new nation. Cabeza de Vaca, Roger Williams, Cotton Mather, and Benjamin Franklin all had certain views and preconceived notions when it came to the Native Americans. Amazingly enough the varying degree of each mans perspective is the basis on which we not only view the Native Americans today, but ultimately became the thesis on diversifying cultures and how we view them in society.…

    It seems that the Native American people have faced a tremendous journey throughout history. When Christopher Columbus first came into contact with the Native Americans, he described them in such a positive manor. Upon meeting the Native Americans (Indians) Christopher Columbus recorded and entry into his log. “They ... brought us parrots and balls of cotton and spears and many other things, which they exchanged for the glass beads and hawks ' bells. They willingly traded everything they owned... . They were well-built, with good bodies and handsome features.... They do not bear arms, and do not know them, for I showed them a sword, they took it by the edge and cut themselves out of ignorance. They have no iron. Their spears are made of cane.... They would make fine servants.... With fifty men we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want.” (Log of Christopher Columbus) Although it seemed that the Native Americans were thought of as hospitable and generous, the Europeans took full advantage and became greedy over many things including land. Settlers brought diseases to the Native Americans and most of the disease…

    Like many countries who have been invaded by a foreign power, Native Americans are also regarded to have been subjected to significant change. When the Europeans first arrived in the late 1400s, they brought with them the intent of not only exploring to find India, but also to find gold and much more wealth. The Europeans made a mistake in their navigation causing them not to arrive in India, but rather what they referred to as the “New World.” The Europeans had stumbled upon the Native Peoples that occupied that place. The Native Peoples were soon to become overpowered and eventually become slaves of the Europeans. With the Europeans now being part of the Native world, they eventually left a significant impact, an impact that affected them influentially, ethnocentrically, and population-wise.…

    When the colonies were expanding to the west, Native Americans seemed to either move further west or dissolve in the white society that was surrounding them. Discussed in class and said by Dr. Amundson, “Indigenous people saw freedom in retaining their traditions and civilizations.” As long as Native Americans were able to withhold their traditions, they were okay. However, some colonists pushed them to the point of which that wasn’t possible, which resulted in a war between some indigenous groups and colonists. As Ronald Takaki said in A Different Mirror, “Indians seemed to lack everything the English identified as civilized - Christianity, cities, letters, and clothing. Unlike the English, Indians were allegedly driven by their passions, especially their sexuality” (33). Colonists and Native Americans were very different groups of people that led very different lifestyles, but during the Lewis and Clark expedition, they came across Indians that would help them through their…

    Native Americans were forced onto Reservations on the West-Side of the Mississippi River. “A long time ago this land belonged to our fathers; but when I go up to the river I see camps of soldiers here on its bank. These soldiers cut down my timber; they kill my buffalo; and when I see that, my heart feels like bursting; I feel sorry.”(Santana, Chief of the Kiowas, 1867) This was a drastic change to the Native Americans because they were used to living in the environment prior to having other people move in. On the reservation, they were not able to hunt buffalo or able to roam around as they did before. Now that they lived on the reservation they also lost their spiritual ties to the land. And when they were moved on to the Reservations, their whole life changed.…
