Some of my family came to America from Guyana with close to nothing, but over time through hard work, ambition, and patience they were able to support the younger generations of us. They made sure we had the opportunities that they did not have when they were growing up. Just making sure my family could make it to this country is a big part of the reason why we can now live and prosper in peace. This is why I would like to work for the federal government and give directly back to this country and help to make it a better place and stronger

As the United States evolved Native Americans and their rights also evolved as the White man saw fit. When the British largely controlled the territory, in the year of 1763, they respected the “Indian” land rights and directed that Indian land could only be had by treaty and purchase (Shmoop Editorial Team, 2008). However, after the American Revolution Native Americans were treated as if they had no right to the land they were living on. Frequently, Politicians, of the time, took advantage of the Native American and adopted, changed or eliminate policies, pacts and laws to their advantage.

For the purposes of this assignment I am going to assume the source is authentic and from Red Cloud since the link provided is from a college university. I think the speech was a deliberate process that was well thought out, truthful, and was excellent at explaining the situation that was going on. This makes the speech reliable in my opinion because I (we) already have knowledge of how the other Indian tribes were mistreated and lied to by our government and the military. The government took their land and forced them to small reservations territory by territory across the country. Based on known history and how others were handled I don’t feel like Red Cloud was biased in his speech since both sides of the story line up with each other.

Martin Luther King died for his cause, his legacy lives on, although his body long returned to the Earth from whence it came.
