The Navajo tribe originated from Canada about 1000 A.D. When they arrived to the United States they were shown how to plant vegetables and other agriculture produce by the Pueblo Indians, which transformed them into an agrarian society. The Navajos speak a language called Athabasca which is spoken by many groups in the western. Spaniards conquered New Mexico and this when they became they developed the matrilineal society and where they received the name clans.

Having no respect for others beliefs they simply would just push them off their land in the thought that they would find homes somewhere else and that they would be fine. The Naive Americans didn’t understand why the Europeans were pushing them off their sacred land and why they couldn’t have just found land somewhere else. Through all three of these groups family was very important. With Native Americans
“Rod Serling used fiction to explore negative consequences of the labels we attach to ourselves and others” {Facing History and Culture 2013). For many Native Americans this kind of discrimination is a part of daily life. The film industry has for many years stereotyping Native Americans to extremes. Only our own Government knew the film industries for a time in history as the second greatest enemy of Native Americans. The first greatest enemies of Native Americans during this same time our own Government.
He feels that with no education the Indians are feel they cannot take care of themselves or their land. Apess goes on to state about the white men claiming of how they are willing to give Indians rights and privileges and he discusses about how they need to protect their property and themselves by being in the Union. This is due to the whites being very overbearing and powerful and distrustful and the Indians would get taken advantage of by the white men. He goes on to talk about how the white men are the “superior race,” but how this could
Breaking the promises would have shown the Native Americans that the settlers thought little of their intelligence, and also would instil a lack of trust in the settlers, as now every apparently solemn vow to not attack certain areas or to treat the Plains Indians better etc. could now never be taken as the absolute truth and the Native Americans would have spent time wondering what treaty was to be broken and when. The second factor I shall look at will be the US army and its leaders. Men like
Before the Europeans colonized the Americas, there were people that lived on the land. The Native Americans that inhabited these lands were not warned of the Europeans’ arrival, nor did they know that there were civilizations past the rocky shores of the Americas. To the colonists, the Americas were undiscovered lands that they intended to call their own. However, the Native Americans proved to be an obstacle in their plan. The Europeans looked down on the Native Americans and referred to them as “savages” because their society did not match their own.
Many Americans opposed the removal of the Native Americans and argued that they too had been civilized and should be allowed to remain on the homelands, specifically Davey Crocket. This was a valid point of debate for the Native Americans, although at this point the strength in numbers for the government were overwhelming compared to that of the Native Americans living on their homeland. On the other hand, some of the natives thought strategically about agreeing with the treaty because this would alleviate “white harassment”(Indian Removal, PBS). This shows the debate amongst the natives themselves, over the removal act, leaving some tribes divided and again assisting with the destruction of their
Native American youth are far more likely to experiment with alcohol. Low self esteem is thought to be one major cause. Another reason is for the lack of law enforcement and not enough police men.

It was a widely held belief that Indigenous people were an inferior race and would eventually die out. Many policies enacted on them had a greatly detrimental effect upon their cultural heritage. Policies such as the forced Indigenous people off the land and into government reserves, the assimilation policy tried to force Indigenous people to adopt a Western lifestyle by giving up their traditional lifestyle and beliefs. They were expected to live and act like ‘white Australians’ but were denied equal wages, work conditions and welfare benefits received by other Australians. Other policies attempted to ‘breed-out’ Indigenous Australians by pairing an Indiginous individual with a white partner.
Hechiceros is the name of the person who leads certain ceremonies. In these ceremonies Zapotecs would sacrifice flower, food, poultry blood, money, and many other things. By the 1000 A.D the Zapotec civilization was gone. Aztec history begins when the nomadic people came from the north into the Valley of Mexico in the 1200’s. They settled first in a hill called Chapultepec.
