Early in the 1830’s‚ there were about 125‚000 Native Americans that inhabited the areas of the present Florida‚ Georgia‚ Alabama‚ North Carolina‚ and Tennessee which covers millions of acres. The Native Americans and their ancestors had cultivated and occupied these lands for generations. It had been a growing importance to expand the United States of America and to be able to use the resources that surrounded them to grow as a country; cotton for example. For this to occur‚ the lands that were thought

Nearly every Native American Indian tribe has experienced some kind of neglect or discrimination. The white man has forcefully moved tribes from their homes‚ broken treaties that were promised to them‚ and senselessly slaughtered thousands of innocent Indian men‚ women‚ and children. This kind of neglect is what led to the Battle of Little Bighorn Creek‚ a battle that is talked about in The Great Plains‚ the book I chose my topic from. The reason this subject touched me personally is because

soldiers defeat an army of 80‚000 Native Americans? Well in the year 1532‚ a Spanish conquistador known as Francisco Pizarro invaded the New World. He quickly got into a conflict with the largest state of the New World and managed to capture the absolute monarch‚ Atahuallpa. Francisco charged a ransom for his release and even after the ransom was given‚ he killed Atahuallpa. They were defeated and this cycle was continued by more Spanish conquistadors until the Native Americans were completely defeated.

The structure of a Native American family is interesting to me‚ regarding the history of elder-women making decisions based on the property handed down from the women of the families. This followed the matrilineal system‚ which is still the basis of today’s equal consideration for both men and women of a family. My plan is that my career will remain in the finance industry.

and forced change of language. When the content of curriculum reflects culture of dominant group‚ it is deculturalization. Also‚ dominated groups are not allowed to express their culture and religion‚ which is deculturalization. Use of teachers from the dominant group to teach those that are dominated is another form of deculturalization (Spring 49). "The problem was the assumption that U.S. institutions‚ customs‚ and beliefs were the best in the world and they should be imposed" (Spring 42)

between Native Americans and Colonists There are many reasons Native Americans and European Colonists did not have a good relationship. The reason for conflict between Colonist and Indians was due to the Colonists insatiable greed for power and land. Some of the reasons not only included physical mistreatment but also an ethical mistreatment of the Native Americans. European Colonists not only brought with them many different diseases that would later aid in the genocide of many Native American

Indubitably‚ the acts made upon Indians for the sake of progress were atrocious. Brutal and cruel murders of millions of Indian peoples resound to this day. Their populations may never recover from such an incredible loss; the past can be ignored but never erased. However‚ we as Americans‚ celebrate Christopher Columbus day with joy. We think only of ‘The Founding of America’ and not by the means of which our country was constructed. To Indians everywhere this holiday is simply a remembrance of the

In the works of Ben Franklin and John Smith the Native Americans were portrayed with no disregard for feelings. By portraying the Native Americans as savages what were the long term outcomes? First off they were not respected by anyone because they were different in their beliefs. Second they were also thought of as being stupid and not educated correctly. Third they were used for the skills that they knew (i.e. hunt‚ survive)‚ since white men could not do many of the things Indians could do. I

Out of all the horrible things that the colonists brought to the Native Americans‚ alcohol and guns were two of the worst. While alcohol destroyed their livers and killed their people‚ guns killed their people and their culture. The World Turned Upside Down gives several accounts of the Native Americans’ lives and the destruction of them as well. I believe that guns had a bigger impact on Native Americans. Not only could they defend themselves against the colonists‚ but they could hunt better as
