After the American Revolutionary War, he joined a band of Shawnee to stop the invasion of white settlers’ flatboats that crossed down the Ohio River from Pennsylvania. “Tecumseh grew up to be a distinguished warrior in the Shawnee tribe.”(tecumsehbio.htm.) As Tecumseh early life, his family had to move about third time because of the attack by colonials and later American armies, as the Shawnee had allied with the British during the American Revolutionary War. His family finally settled near modern Bellefontaine, Ohio. When His tribe was pushed farther west by white settlers, Tecumseh became angry and took many raids to against whites on the frontier.
During early settlement of Australia, Indigenous children were removed from their families to be conditioned to European values and work ethic to eventually take up positions in the service of “colonial settlers” (HREOC, 1997, pp.22). Despite being an acknowledged and engrained practice in Australia for a number of years before formal government acts legalising the removal of children, the Stolen Generations is a term coined to encompass those Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children forcibly removed from their families and communities as mandated by government policy between 1911 and 1969 (HREOC, 1997, pp.22). In an attempt to ‘merge’ the Indigenous population with the non-Iindigenous community, it was mandated that children should be removed from their families so as to lose their ‘Aboriginal identity’ (HREOC, 1997, pp.25). This policy was soon aimed towards ‘assimilation’ as opposed to ‘merging’; the major difference existing in the idea that all Indigenous people should live, work and be educated alongside ‘Whites’ (HREOC, 1997, pp.26). However, by the 1960s it was clear that the policy had failed to achieve its goal of forced integration; Indigenous people refused to “surrender their lifestyle and
“I have right like you, I have right to buy guy,” screams an angry man when attempting to buy a gun. “Not in my store,” demands the owner. “Ya you’re ignorant.” “Oh ya, I’m ignorant. You’re liberating my country and I’m flying 747s into your mud huts and incinerating your friends.” In one of the opening scenes in Crash, a Muslim man and daughter are trying to buy a gun when predetermined stereotypes interfere causing this exchange to be rude, discriminatory and definitely uncalled for. Throughout the movie Crash, instances like these where stereotyping and prejudice is a common source of conflict, reinforces how society constantly pins certain ethnic and racial minorities to prior historical events to determine a preconceived notion of them.

The man told me that if I cried he would shoot my mother. Luckily the man had to do errands so he took our car, left us on the side of the street and standing a block away was a police officer who quickly caught up with the man and arrested him. This was my first real experience of fear. I wasn’t sure if I was more scared of losing my life or losing my mom. Just like the Lieutenant Cross, I suffered the fear of losing not only myself but a loved one as well.
The Indian Adoption Project began in the late 1950’s and lasted throughout the 1960’s. It allowed for the removal of Indian children from their homes and families, and to be placed within the non-Native community through adoption, foster care and orphanages simply because “the white man knew better” (Adopting a Native American Child). The Native American community viewed this project as “the most recent in a long line of genocidal policies toward Native communities and cultures” (Herman). Erdrich opens her story by displaying these events from the view of a child hunted, Buddy. The trauma and fear Buddy feels, knowing that at any moment he will be stolen away from his mother, is shown through his nightmare of being found hiding in a washing machine.
I picked all my friends up trying to showing off. However it didn’t take long for it to be clear I had no clue what I was doing; I hit a mailbox making a wide turn and really was a threat to any one on the road at that time. Upon attempting to drop my friends off I made a wide turn hitting the gas, hitting a car coming out of the neighborhood and doing damage to both cars. After hitting the car it set off wide spread panic between me and my friends. The old lady I hit was not taking any chances and called the police.
