Comparison Of Termination And The Native Land: Termination

Do you take the time to try and pronounce someone's name correctly? In Firoozeh Dumas’s memoir “The ”F Word” she explains how she immigrated to America from Iran. When her family arrived she had to hurdle many obstacles just from her name. The kids in her classes would make fun of her and her family members names. This went to the extent of not getting job interviews,even with a good education. Dumas argues that she should at least get a chance. Although, she does admit that over time, people have gotten better with trying to pronouncing her name and accepting her.

The removal of various members of Native American tribes from their indigenous lands to that which was east of the Mississippi was a widely debated topic in the early portion of the 19th century. Morally, proponents of this action cited the fact that these Native Americans were "savages" (Jackson) with no rights to their land; legally, they were expected to adhere to the rights of the states and the federal government of the U.S. Those who were against Indian removal believed that legally they were entitled to their land because of their lengthy history in occupying it, and that morally their rights as people substantiated their claims to the land. A review of both arguments reflects the fact that the latter position is the most convincing.

Since the 1950s conditions for Native people were very difficult and had moved beyond the conditions of the early half of the century in which Native people had to struggle to simply survive, or prove that they were worthy of adaptation into white society. The Termination policy of the 1950s, which sought to end federal recognition and support of Indian tribes and relocate Indians to urban areas, continued a pattern of breaking up tribal customs and dislocating Native people from reservations. Thus far with the changing political climate of the 1960s, which included the rise of the American Indian Movement also known as the Native American Renaissance, its attempts to increase awareness of Native American struggles due to discrimination and

In the beginning of the 1800’s Almost 125,000 Native Americans lived across millions of acres in Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama,North Carolina, and Florida. In about ten years there were slim to no Native Americans remaining in the southeastern states. The government had been forcing these Native Americans to move across the Mississippi River to an assigned “Indian Territory”.The white men wanted this land because it had value to them, and it was desired as white settlers moved to the land. This difficult journey is now known as the trail of tears.

In 1874 the US Army sent a force under Colonel Custer into South Dakota. When gold was discovered in the area, the federal government declared that all Sioux Indians not in reservations would have to be subjugated by Custer’s troops. Many Sioux refused to cooperate, and Custer began to attack. At the battle of Little Bighorn, in June 1876, Custer split his troops, and a larger force of Indians wiped out all of his men. After this defeat, the army took a different course by harassing the Sioux in attrition. Indians eventually lost the will to resist as these strategies were commonly successful against the Sioux. In the December of 1890, approximately 300 Indians were killed by US troops at Wounded Knee. This massacre was the indication to the end of Indian opposition. The Plains Indians were eventually conquered and forced into reservations.

Imagine yourself at the top, but all of a sudden you have to start all over moving your family and not knowing where you will lay your head that night.

With globalization and colonization taking over almost the entire known world, native tribes who are indigenous to their lands are losing control of the lands that their people have lived in for ages to the hands of foreign colonizers who claim the land as their own. Now, indigenous people all around the world are struggling to reclaim the lands and rights that were taken away from them through non-violent social relations with national governments and large corporations. Anthropologists have recorded how indigenous people across the globe attempt to create relations with national governments to reclaim rights and lands that they once had before the colonization of their ancestral homeland.
