The ethnocentric of the Treaty Signing at Medicine Creek Lodge, is representational and nonobjective. According to Sayre, H.M., A World of Art (2010) has two different depictions of the Treaty Signing at Medicine Creek Lodge, where one illustrates a natural illusionistic art compare to convention art. Sayre, H.M., 2010, pp. 38-39, (Fig, 42) John Taylor, (1867,(1) Treaty Signing at Medicine Creek Lodge, subject matter is representational art that is illusionistic, with visual images that places you at the treaty signing. Compared to Sayre, H.M., 2010, pp. 38-39, (Fig, 43) Howling Wolf, (1875-1878, (2), Treaty signing at medicine Creek Lodge, subject matter is nonobjective art that illustrates a conventional representation, that portrays an abstract form. While both pieces of art depicts the Treaty Signing at Medicine Creek Lodge, as well as the subject matter that portrays the ethnocentric differences from the Anglo American’s view and the American Indian’s view, both pieces of art represents the importance, and significance, of this historical event. Howling Wolf’s, (1875-1878, (2), Treaty Signing at Medicine Creek Lodge, subject matter depicts an honest illustration of the memories that took place on that historic day thru the eyes of Howling Wolf. The colorful palette displays the different tepees separated by the backs of women and men in each tribe, which represents the distinct impression that everyone was captivated by the events of the treaty signing. The colors of each tepee, depicts the diverse attendance of tribes. While the men in the trees depict the honest thoughts of mistrust that Howling Wolf might have thought after experiencing imprisonment. Howling Wolf’s portrayals of the treaty signing from my perspective; says that the men in the trees had twisted their words and created a separation between the tribes. The person in the middle seems to be trapped, while the horse seems to be a

    The politics of Creek society allowed villages to sign treaties as actual people which threatened McGillivray’s ability to protect the Creek’s. McGillivray tried to create centralized power within the Creek Nation. The traditions from traditional villages faced many threats from within Creek society. McGillivray used his connections as the nephew of Red Shoes, the Koasati leader, and his control of trade to weaken his opposition. The Yazoo Land Grants by Georgia and the federal government's wish to take control of Indian affairs led to U.S. president, George Washington, signing the 1790 Treaty of New York, in which the United States promised to defend Creek rights. This treaty created a relationship between the United States and the Creek Nation and affirmed McGillivray's position as a legitimate national…

    “From 1871 to 1877, seven Numbered Treaties were signed between the Canadian Government and the First Nations people who lived between Lake Superior and the Rocky Mountains” (Arnold 2000, p.207). These treaties were often considered unfair and were not executed by the Canadian Government. The First Nations people received promises from the government that they would have access to natural resources. However, that promise was not kept (Arnold 2000, p. 208). They were also permitted a promise that they could have hunting, fishing, and mineral rights from the Canadian government. Once treaties were signed, settlers began to move across Canada to occupy the lands where the First Nations people had lived (Arnold, 2000, p.207). In the end, the Canadian government should’ve kept their promise to the First Nations people and should have not taken advantage of them because of the fact which they did not understand what was implied in the…

    A CONQUERING SPIRIT

    In the mind of the Creeks, the battle was more than just a fight for survival; it was a struggle to tenaciously hold on to traditions and culture which the Creeks felt to be under attack by American colonists. As John Walton Caughey mentions in McGillivray of the Creeks, “Our lands are our life and breath, if we part with them, we part with our blood. We must fight for them.”1 This statement seemed to be a common theme among the Upper Creeks. American colonists and the government hoped the Creeks could be assimilated in a peaceful manner into American society through negotiations and financial enticements: “Westward expansion could then proceed in an orderly way, with Indian population retreating before the advancing American frontier or assimilating with American society.”2 The mainstay of…

    Those tribes that moved to reservations often found federal policies inadequate to their needs. The Medicine Lodge Treaty of 1867 assigned reservations in existing Indian Territory to Comanches, Plains (Kiowa) Apaches, Kiowas, Cheyennes, abd Arapahoes, bringing these tribes together with Sioux, Shoshones, and Bannocks. All told, more than 100,000 people found themselves competing intensely for survival. Corrupt officials of the Bureau of Indian Affairs routinely diverted funds for their own use and reduced food supplies, a policy promoting malnutrition, demoralization, and desperation. Meanwhile, white prospectors and miners continued to flood the Dakota Territory.…

The originally initiated treaties of 1805 asked the Dakota to sell Minnesota land along the Mississippi river were Minnesota could eventually start building trading posts. As the years passed Minnesota began pressuring the Dakota to give up more land until eventually the Dakota had ceded all land west of the Mississippi.
