These recent times have been tough for the tribe. Since the appearance of the Europeans upon our lands there has been a great plague upon our society. They brought with them unknown diseases that have infected much of the tribe and killed many others, the Europeans go to our hunting grounds killing hundreds of buffalo’s for pleasure and we have been restricted to a certain piece of land. The Europeans have set up a village at the top of a nearby hillside and although we keep in relative peace with them, it is as if they are saying we are watching you. Actions such as these will not be accepted and must be dealt with and we have many opportunities to accomplish this. Their settlement was recently built and lacks proper fortifications …show more content…
On the day of the hunt we would follow the one chosen to drive the buffalo up to the prairie. He would be dressed in a dried buffalo skin and would wear a gutted buffalo head over his. We would then take cover behind large rocks or under animal skins. Once in place the chosen one, usually a medicine man, would attract the buffalo’s attention by bobbing his head, motioning his arms or whatever it would take to get them to notice he
There were many places throughout the parts of the book I read, where I felt extremely grateful. Two of them were when I was reading from page 11 through page 13, and I stumbled against two things Junior said that struck me. The first part was when Junior said “They (his parents) never got the chance to be anything because nobody paid attention to their dreams”, on page 11. While the second part was when he said, “But we reservation Indians don't get to realise our dreams. We don’t get those chances. Or choices. We’re poor. Thats all we are,” on page 13. While and after reading this I felt extremely fortunate, yet apologetic. I felt extremely fortunate, due to the fact that I was born into family that isn’t a victim of poverty and also because

After the arrival of the Spanish into the New World,the Native Americans lives changed drastically during the 15-16th hundreds. It brought major changes,politically,socially,and economically. The Natives were obviously vulnerable and submissive towards the Spanish.These events that I’m going to talk about shaped and changed the lives of many of Native Americans.It's the most unforgettable history of all times because it was the most unbelievable story.
Washington’s native people came from Africa, Europe, and Asia, also known as the Old World. Archeologists can make a good guess on when they arrived by the age of the tools they left behind. Native Americans arrived in Washington at the minimum, 10,000 years ago. The Native Americans divided. Some went towards the coast near the Pacific Ocean, and others went to the plateau near the Columbia Basin.

We expected Whitman Mission to be a nice place to stock up on food, but this place was burned down to the ground. There was one wagon train about to leave but we stopped them and asked them what had happened. They said that the Indians burned it down because of a disease that killed off a lot of Indians. They didn't want anyone else catching the disease. The Indians were the only ones not immune to this disease. We didn't stay here for long because we were scared they would burn us too. We headed to Oregon City. It was going to be tough and we would probably start to run low on supplies. We reached Dalles where we stayed for one day. Then we headed out and followed the Barlow Road that goes around Mt.Hood. This trail is very narrow and rough.
The Suffrage of Native Americans How would you feel if strangers from another world invaded your country and started taking advantage of your people? This was the case for the Native Americans. During the Age of Exploration, Christopher Colombus was trying to make it to India but then landed in North America and discovered the Native American people. When Columbus led the Europeans to come in contact with the Native Americans, they began to suffer in three major ways: war, disease, and martying. Since the Native Americans had poor weapons, they lost against the Europeans and were taken as slaves.
It’s strange to think that even after my commitment to the military, here I am living with Sioux natives. You really humble out after you give up all your materialistic things and live for those around you. There is another white woman here named “Stands With a Fist” and her and I are getting married. My priorities have completely changed. I cared about my family a lot more and I even have love for some animals. I abandoned the fort because I’m very happy living with the natives and “Kicking Bird” has provided me with my very own teepee. These Sioux people are so loyal to their friends, passionate, and loving to their families. Every since I arrived at the Great Plains, there has been a wolf following me. I decided to name him Two Socks because
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 year is 1828 and I am the Cherokee chief. I and my tribe are living in a house. Our land is full of minerals like gold. It is summer and it is bloody hot outside. The skies are white and it looks like it will rain soon. I am very tired and I decide to go to sleep. Suddenly I wake up and look out the window watching it rain and the houses burn, and this caused a lot of smoke. I see many feral American soldiers who have surrounded us and burned our houses. They want us away from our residence, but we can’t, because this is the country where our ancestors lived for generations. I see this with my own eyes that they forcibly try to take our men and women. I also see that an American soldier killed many innocent people who refuse to leave

In the Lakota language, “wicozani” is a word that means wealth by living a happy and well balanced life with a physical and mental well-being in conformity with creation. In order to fulfill a life of prosperity and euphoria, it is crucial to be a well-behaved, humane person. In the Native American culture, being an impish, untrustworthy being goes against everything they believe in. One of the most meaningful values to the Native Americans is honesty. One of the most condemned traits is disrespect.
How did the Native American people groups who shaped North America for centuries become reduced to stereotypes portrayed in movies and other media? What is the place for advocacy and social justice ministries in these communities? These questions captured my attention during my education at Taylor University. At Taylor, most students are not aware of Native American tribes beyond the media portrayal in westerns or sports logos. As I conducted research for the Butler Undergraduate Research conference and the Emmaus Initiative, a nonprofit tracking religious freedom for Christianity, Islam, and Judaism in the United States, it became evident the blind spot regarding Native American studies and advocacy was a national trend. During my future
The long history between Native American and Europeans are a strained and bloody one. For the time of Columbus’s subsequent visits to the new world, native culture has
From as early as the time of the early European settlers, Native Americans have suffered tremendously. Native Americans during the time of the early settlers where treated very badly. Europeans did what they wanted with the Native Americans, and when a group of Native Americans would stand up for themselves, the European would quickly put them down. The Native Americans bow and arrows where no match for the Europeans guns and cannon balls. When the Europeans guns didn’t work for the Europeans, the disease they bought killed the Native Americans even more effectively.
