Choctaw Indians Research Paper

Cherokee Indians were found in the south and southeast commonly in these states North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky, Georgia, West Virginia/Virginia, Alabama, and Tennessee. Old artifacts show that they lived in this region about 11,000 years ago to the present day and that they had very natural reliable resources that they used on a daily basis. The Cherokee Indians had a well-managed system in which they had villages of 60 or less for housing, the women did the cooking, cleaning, farming/harvesting and the men did the hunting and gathering. In the region where the Cherokee’s were known to live at they modified their own weapons, arts/crafts, and clothing also using trees and plants for medicinal uses. The Cherokee Indians were one of

The American territory was sprawling across the Mississippi River and into new Native American territory. The Great Plains and far West were occupied by both Indians and Hispanics whose custom and way of live were distinct in language religion and kinship and governance. The white settlers and hunters were a threat to the resources in which they used for survival.

From its birth, America was a place of inequality and privilege. Since Columbus 's arrival and up until present day, Native American tribes have been victim of white men 's persecution and tyranny. This was first expressed in the 1800’s, when Native Americans were driven off their land and forced to embark on the Trail of Tears, and again during the Western American- Indian War where white Americans massacred millions of Native Americans in hatred. Today, much of the Indian Territory that was once a refuge for Native Americans has since been taken over by white men, and the major tribes that once called these reservations home are all but gone. These events show the discrimination and oppression the Native Americans faced. They were, and continue to be, pushed onto reservations,

In this treaty, they repealed all previous agreements and called for the Choctaw to relocate to what is now Oklahoma. However, if they didn’t wish to leave they could accept a piece of land and stay in Mississippi, but at the cost of losing their Choctaw identity and becoming a U.S. citizen. The first removal started in October of 1831 when four thousand Choctaw were lead by wagon or foot to steamboats. The river journey was shortened due to weather and bad planning however, causing the natives to walk much farther than planned. Most of the first wave did not arrive at their destination. The second was even worse. Due to cost overruns with the first wave, these five hundred fifty natives were required to walk most of the way, with less rations. They were also encountered a cholera outbreak en route. After hearing about the troubles of the first two treks, only about eight hundred Choctaws showed up for the third and final journey. This trail went relatively smoothly. Corrupt officials cheated the many of Choctaw that remained out of their promised land and in 1842 the Federal government was forced to intervene. The Choctaw were reimbursed, but only if the located to reserves in modern day

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. What should the best way for the cherokee to decide? We should remove the cherokee from their land so nobody gets hurt or kill. Another reason, some of their chief already sign the Treaty of Etocha agreeing them to move. Last reason cherokee killed a lot of people back then so they really don’t deserve it.

European settlements in the new world had a number of impacts on Cherokee Native Americans. It led to them dying or being pushed onto reservations.

The Choctaws have always been a resourceful and independent people. Having adapted to the harsh environment that is the United States, most of their current 89 000 members are doing well. Some of them live on reservations, others on trust land, but most choose to live in the city. The Oklahoma tribe, currently led by Gary Batton, owns seven casinos, among many other businesses, and their culture is largely intact.

Though obvious to the name, the American Indian Tribes had much to do with the growth of what we now know of as the US. Long ago when the english settlers came over with Columbus, on the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria, they had found that there were people living there, were very different from “the white man”. But the American Indians have been located throughout the states from the very beginning and are still thriving, in some cases. One of the more commonly known, American Indian Tribes is the Cherokee tribe.(WKU Meteorology; Dr. Greg Goodrich)

Located closely to the southern Appalachian Mountains resides a creative culture of people known as the Cherokee Indian tribe. The tribe is home to many states located on the eastern and southern region of the United States. The Cherokee Indians have been living in their homeland since the late 13th century.

Lives of the Cherokee Indians contained mostly fishing, hunting, farming, pottery, and fur trading.

In 1820, the United States made plans for a large scale system of boarding and day schools Noriega, 377). These schools were given the mission to, "instruct its students in 'letters, labor and mechanical arts, and morals and Christianity;' 'training many Indian leaders'" Noriega, 378). In the case of boarding schools, Native American children would be forcibly stripped from their homes as early as five years old. They would then live sequestered from their families and cultures until the age of seventeen or eighteen (Noriega, 381). <br><br>In 1886, it was decided, by the United States federal government that Native American tribal groups would no longer be treated as 'indigenous national governments.' The decision was made, not by the conjoint efforts of the Native American tribes and Congress; but, by the "powers that be" the United States Legal System. This self-ordained power allowed Congress to pass a variety of other laws, directed towards, assimilating, Native Americans, so that they would become a part of "mainstream white America" (Robbins, 90)<br><br>By this time the United States Government, had been funding over a dozen distinct agencies, to provide mandatory 'education' to all native children aged six through sixteen. Enrollment was enforced through leverage given by the 1887 General Allotment Act, which made Natives dependent on the Government for

The first issue at hand for the Native-Americans is poor academic achievement. It has been that…”the Native-American lives and education has been under the control of the federal and state governments” (McNamara & Burns, 2009, p. 135). This is due because the unfortunate
