In the 1830 there was an act that pass it’s called the Indian Removal it made the indians tribes move from their land. According to the text the cherokee leader sign the treaty of etocha to agree to move the cherokee but 90% percent of the cherokee didn’t want to leave.

By the year 1838, there were only a small amount of Cherokees that left their homeland in Georgia for Indian Territory. The current President, Martin Van Buren directed General Winfield Scott and a large amount of soldiers to start the process of removing the Indians forcefully. Scott and his militia forcefully made the Cherokee Indians go into stockades at a place called Bayonet Point while their homes were robbed for their belongings. Then, they made the Cherokee walk more than a distance of 1,200 miles into the Indian Territory. During the trip plenty of problems happened. They encountered sicknesses such as dysentery typhus, and Whooping cough. Along with starvation becoming a widespread problem along the way. As a result, a large amount

Marilyn Frye describes oppression as “something pressed is something caught between or among forces and barriers which are so related to each other that jointly they restrain, restrict or prevent the thing’s motion or mobility” (Rothenberg, pg. 149-150). The Cherokee Indians have faced their share of hardship and oppression, from mistreatment to starvation; they have overcome the oppression from the white man to live a full and prosperous life. Within the Cherokee Indians, there exists a subgroup, the Cherokee woman. I am going to talk at length about this group.

Long before Christopher Columbus, the First Nations People (American Indians) were living off of their land, practicing their spiritual traditions, and harvesting their foods, on a land all of their own.

There was a couple named Kiowa and Muraco. They've been together for 8 years. They had a beautiful, healthy baby girl. Her name was Cherokee. Kiowa and Muraco loved Cherokee so much but they knew they couldn't keep Cherokee because they were poor. They had no money to take care of Cherokee. Everyday they struggled to find food and water. Days went by and Kiowa was starting to get sick. Each day it got worse and worse. Her skin was turning red, her eyes were puffy and she constantly coughed and sneezed. Kiowa told Muraco she didn't feel good and she felt like she was going to die soon. On the fourth day, Kiowa died and Muraco was left to raise Cherokee by himself. Muraco knew nothing about raising kids. He was scared. He didn't know what to do so he decided to find help.

The Cherokee individuals were equally hunters and farmers. They grew corn, beans, and squash. When the Europeans came to America, they transported wars and diseases to the Cherokees. The general public of the Cherokee community abided in wattle and daub constructions composed by weaving wood, river cane, and vines into a framework. The roof of Cherokee houses was either thatched with grass or shingled with bark. As several as eight people might share the classic Cherokee house. There was usually a fire burning in the house, but when the fire is not burning the houses are smoky and dark. Even though the Cherokee men assembled the Cherokee houses the Cherokee women possessed them. The Cherokee ate deer, bear, buffalo, elk, squirrel, rabbit,

A large part of the formation of our country and Western society involved interaction with tribes of Native Americans that inhabited North America well before Europeans settled it. It started with Spanish conquistadors and explorers, then British colonies which would mold and change into the revolutionized American Colonists. Along this succession, the Indian tribes on the east coast experienced extreme prejudice, regime changes and war. Among these tribes are the Cherokee. The Cherokee were at the forefront of Indian-European relations. They remained strong in the southeast, despite war and epidemic. The Cherokee underwent significant culture changes yet not always by choice. War and disease tore apart the Cherokee as well other tribes but

Europeans came to the New World to discover God, gold and glory and along with that they brought many positive and negative effects to the Native Americans.

In the beginning the settlers created the heavens and the earth. For, America was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the continent. Or was it? Why is it that people automatically assume that America started when the settlers arrived, and that there was nothing before? Sure we can read the cute Native American mythology, but aside from that we don’t talk about America before the settlers. Would you like to hear more about the settlers, how America was before they arrived, and are you willing to learn of the holocaust that our history books aren’t willing to tell us about? Good, then keep reading.

This would soon lead to the demise of the Native Americans.

When you think about Native Americans, what comes to mind. Does history class come into mind? Does riding horses and beautiful views come into mind? Does family come into mind? All those different views were affected when the Europeans came to the Americas. Europeans colonization of the America’s affected the Native Americans drastically. When the European’s came to the America’s, they brought disease and greed which turned into death and destruction. Along with religion and agriculture. Agriculture turned into a profit for the Native Americans and the Europeans because of trade. The religion was harsh for them because the Indians were forced to convert. The Europeans brought many more things to the Americas, but those four were the major ones.
