Pros And Cons Of Native Americans

8. Eliminate Native American Mascots There has been many controversy with teams using Native American name for mascots and has become a major issue in today’s society. Many have viewed the Washington Redskins as honor for Native Americans, others see it racist, insensitive, and demeaning. Woods (2016) claims that “the complaint is that the use of stereotypical team names, mascots, and logos perpetuates an ideology that dehumanizes and demeans the cultures of Native Americans” (p. 298). Since the

Debate: Con Constructive 1: Advancement in Agriculture The Native Americans are in fact civilized, and this can be seen through their great strides in agricultural methodology and technology. Similar to Europeans, most Native Americans have graduated from hunting and gathering methods and have moved on to agriculture, as it is a more reliable source of food. As a result of the most recent expedition to the Americas, a group of pilgrims’ The Mayflower, a lot has been discovered about Native American

and national sports teams have used Native American names as their mascots, nicknames, and logos. There has been a lot of controversy over it since the 1940’s. According to the University of North Carolina at Pembroke, there are two conflicting viewpoints; ¨keeping this imagery honors Native American people, supports nostalgic feelings, and saves funding.¨ On the other hand, ¨keeping this imagery is offensive and degrading because it is sacred to Native American people, and perpetuates negative stereotypes

The removal of Native-Americans from their homes to the region east of the Mississippi is one of the most tragic and controversial episodes in American History. It affected the Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, Seminole, and Cherokee people. This tragic event killed approximately 2,000 to 6,000 of the 16,543 Cherokee Indians who were forced to move during winter of 1838. There were many legal and moral arguments for and against this policy. In this paper I will point out the reasons why the argument against

Beginning with the First Contact, Native Americans exchanged goods and ideas with their European visitors, promoting advancement of both cultures. This transfer of global information allowed the world to advance at a much faster rate, leading to new technologies and ways of living.

There is at least one school in every state with a Native American mascot. Using Native American mascots is an important topic and is debated all over the country.

Due to my poor judgement, reading and annotating the two literature books took longer than expected, leaving me about a day or two to read the 5 chapters which I discovered was about pre-colonial Native Americans. Now being the good little American citizen that I am I decided that I knew plenty about the “Indians” and did not need to read the summer assignment. I went on happily with my life until the US History test was placed before me on the first day of school.

The natives crossed the Bering Strait 15,000 years ago from modern-day Siberia to Alaska. There were 6,000 to 10,000 Natives that crossed the land bridge then settled in North America from Canada to South America. The natives were living on North America when they saw sails in the distance. At first they had a peaceful relationship with the colonists then relations got strained. The North American indigenous tribes faced upheaval when the British colonists arrived in the early 1600's. Due to this

include three topics that each show both pros and cons. Those topics include the Columbian Exchange, Smallpox, and Columbus’s voyages. First, the Columbian Exchange took place between the old and new world. The old world gave the new world things such as horses, pigs, and cows. They also gave the new world wheat, sugar, rice, and coffee. Also, the Columbian Exchange resulted in cultural division. Lastly, the Columbian Exchange caused many Native Americans to die from European diseases. Another
