Dear Abby, Do you think its okay for the whites to steal the land from the Indians? Sincerely, South Dakota Wonderer Dear South Dakota Wonderer, I don’t think it’s nice to take the land from the Indians just because there’s gold up in the black hills. It’s not nice because The Indians and the government singed treaties saying that they would not invade the land.
The Indians’ actions of chasing out missionaries and driving off surveyors with axes and not allowing whites in their villages portrays them as people who have a pessimistic attitudes towards the other races. The Colonizing Society also portrays the antagonistic/hostile attitude toward other races. This is seen in the mounted policeman’s conversation with Ms. Carr in Kitwangak. “We have no end of trouble with those people- chased missionaries out and drove out surveyors off with axes- simply won’t have whites in their village” (148). The colonizing Society also has the pessimistic attitude of hostility and unfriendliness with the Indians and they advised Ms. Carr not to visit Kitwancool.
Even worse, if the Indians bear their grounds many will be killed by the white men for trying to hold the land and the Indian race can be even extinct. Those are the reasons why I am in favor of the removal of the
Red Cloud: another Indian chief who only wanted peace with the white men. Red Cloud made Sitting Bull mad by signing the government papers, and in the end he was seeing that signing with the United States Government did nothing for his tribe. Senator Daws:
He goes into depth about the Delawares, Shawnees, Cherokees, and Creeks in an attempt to explain the idea of “the loss of sacred power”. The Indians believed that the more land taken over by the Americans and the more the Indians used the white mans resources, that they lost their sacred power. Dowd is arguing that the Indians had two viewpoints. He is also arguing that amongst individual tribes there were a variety of people who believed in one or the other. The nativist ideal was spread throughout many tribes because of Indian prophets sharing ways to rid the Anglo-Americans from their land.
All of these factors led to pioneers, ready to explore the Wild West. What the white settlers found was these lands were secret safe haven, they were already occupied by the Native American Indians. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how the native Indians in Southern North America were treated during the Westward American Expansion. What I found was that the United States government stepped all over the Cherokee Indian nation, disregarding any legal land contracts or treaties made. Sources from view points of both the Indians and the government showed just how unfair the situation was to the Indians.
148), the movement staged many protests against prejudiced Indian rights leading up to the siege at Wounded Knee. Wounded Knee was a rebellion of the extension of the White government control, by the Indians. The Whites established a government and military quickly after the colonisation of America that pacified the Indians in order to gain control of resources. This is the natural order of colonisation and with this idea combined with the fact that these Indians were educated (as by decree of the very same government), this caused the uprising against their White oppressors by the Indians, (Bodley, 1999, p.60). It seemed a disaster waiting to happen.
After the massacre the Commissioner of Indian affairs tried to prove they were not put in situations that forced them to rebel/ run away (refused food; starved, not provided with warm proper clothing they were promised in the treaty, driven off their lands and forced to stay confined on a reservation that wasn’t theirs). 5. Why did A Century of Dishonor strike so positive a chord among readers, including U.S
Battle of Little Big Horn Thinking on Indian Reservation only exposed a form of discrimination, an instrument of control and grown limitation. June 25 and 26 of 1876 a submission plan for the Lakota Sioux, the Arapaho tribes and Northern Cheyenne was release to 7th Calvary troops and Infantry Soldiers of General Terry and Lieutenant General Custer to obligated the Indians to return to the Reservations. It seems that more than take the Indians back to reservations the intentions of the military troops was exterminated this clans of the Native American. The strategic decisions and coordination of each execution plan prove an upcoming hostile confrontation that Americans thought to have victory over. (Fox 1993).
(They are no longer used because the NCAA banned teams with racist names and mascots from post-season play.) He implies that these logos appropriate the identities of Native Americans, many of whose languages and cultures have been destroyed by Euro-Americans. They take sacred religious symbols from Native American cultures – eagle feathers, face paint, and peace pipes – belittle them, and exploit them for the commercial and entertainment purposes of Americans. And they perpetuate outdated, demeaning stereotypes of Native Americans that make it difficult for Native Americans to represent themselves as part of contemporary American society. Be that as it may, these logos reduce Native Americans to savages, to defeated enemies who have been “erased” from today’s world.
