He lived in the Currumpaw valley in New Mexico. Many call him the king of it. During the 1890's, Lobo and his pack, were killing the settlers’ livestock. The ranchers tried to kill Lobo and his pack by trying to poison them. They also tried to kill them by using traps and by hunting parties, but these attempts failed.
Indian Wars erupted due to tension between the settlers backed by the federal government who were encroaching upon native land and the Native Americans occupying this land. The result of this tension led to Indian Wars such as the Sioux Wars which contained events such as the Wounded Knee Massacre in which federal troops killed 300 Sioux men, women, and children and the killing of General Custer during the battle of Wounded Knee which caused public opinion to turn even more against Native Americans. As a result of these Indian Wars all Native American tribes were effectively put onto reservations. The purposeful impairment and alienation of native culture was strongly emphasized by actions taken and legislation passed by the federal government of the United States. In Document A, Santana, Chief of the Kiowas, describes the destruction of timber and killing of buffaloes by soldiers who sit in camps where his people have lived for generations.
Article Review: The Death of a People's Dream” The history between the U.S government and the Native American people is one full of blood and betrayal. In Robert Utley's article “The Death pf a People's Dream”, he tells a compelling story through the eyes of one brave Sioux Indian as he fought his way through the battle of Wounded Knee. Utley gives us a firsthand point of view which helps the reader understand history through the eyes of the defeated. In December of 1890, a treacherous bloodbath erupted on Wounded Knee Creek between white soldiers and the Sioux regarding practice of the Ghost Dance religion and over all dominance for the North American land. Utley tells us a story about one Sioux man named Dewey who managed to fight his way through the holocaust of the Wounded Knee battle in which he lost his mother, his brother, his wife, and infant son shortly after.

From these two videos, I have a better understand of American Indian history overview. Especially from video Pride 101, Dr. Duane Champagne mentions the removal policy of Native Indians, and because of the policy, the tribes have to move from Southeast to Oklahoma. These two videos show audiences a long history and policy about American Indians and how struggled they had been through in a native land. After I finished from these two videos, I can see many parallels between the struggles the Native American Tribes and my people encounter dealing with the U.S. Government “You can never be part of Indian. You are or you are not.

In a sense, I agree with the sentiment, but only in this: that all the Indian there is in the race should be dead. Kill the Indian in him, and save the man,” (Pratt, 2004). This statement outlines what would become the intent of Native American boarding schools across the country, leading to massive cultural genocide. It was this institution that served as the model for boarding schools founded by the Bureau of Indian Affairs as well as the hundreds of schools run by Catholic and Protestant missionaries. This idea of “kill the Indian, save the man” was forced upon
Little Thunder became chief after Conquering Bear was killed at the Grattan Massacre. The Grattan Massacre was the opening engagement of the First Sioux War, fought between the United States Army and the Lakota Sioux warriors on August 19, 1854. Indians, soldiers, traders, emigrants, and one footsore cow, all added to the stew that boiled over and ended the relative peace. A small detachment of soldiers, led by John Grattan, entered the large Sioux camp to arrest the man that was accused of killing an emigrant’s lame ox. A man by the name of “Man Afraid of His Horses” was with the soldiers and repeatedly tried to warn them about going up against such a large tribe.
The conflict is among two tribes (Hutus and the Tutsi) have been living in the same territory for thousands of years the.

Paul like hundreds of Hutus and Tutsis have hope that the international community will interfere and stop the conflict before more people are killed. He trusts the UN organization and trusts American and British forces.
It is estimated that some 200,000 people participated in the perpetration of the Rwandan genocide. In the weeks after April 6, 1994, 800,000 men, women, and children perished in the Rwandan genocide, perhaps as many as three quarters of the Tutsi population. At the same time, thousands of Hutu were murdered because they opposed the killing campaign and the forces directing it. The Rwandan genocide resulted from the conscious choice of the elite to promote hatred and fear to keep itself in power. This
