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
The Sioux creation story and the book of Genesis in the Bible both mirror an image of how the world along with human life was created. When forming their creations they were dissimilar in the way they produced water and land. In Genesis God created water by just a spoken word and it would appear. However, the Creating Power would form his creations with objects using his hands to form land from mud the story states “He sang all the while that he shaped the mud in his hands and spread it on the water to make a spot of dry land for himself.” Additionally, he completely covers everything with land by a command and using feathers from an eagle by waving them over the spot he had produced. Both of these stories reveal that in a previous time their God was unpleased with what he had created so he destroyed the world because of the people’s acts of immorality and unruliness. Also, this gives reflection on the role of the natural world being impure, failed and contaminated by sin and only the grace of “God” can save them. When God or the “Creating Power” recreated the world in their effort to maintain order people needed to understand how powerful and almighty they were by being able to create life or to end it.
"My People the Sioux" is a good literary work written in 1928. This book leaves an everlasting impression with some because it definitely intensifies the sympathy for the Indians. Luther Standing Bear, also known as Plenty Kill, portrays the dramatic and traumatic changes about the Sioux throughout their traditional way of life. As a young boy growing up, he experienced many of these hardships first hand between his people and the whites. This autobiography is quite valuable as it helps allow us to envision what really happened in the battling times of the Indians. Luther stated this quote, which to me, is unforgettable and very well said. It reads:
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.
The United States is currently attempting to build a pipeline underneath Lake Oahe that will damage Native American burial sites and will contaminate primary source of drinking water for the Sioux Tribe. First there will be a brief description of what happening with the protest at Standing Rock. Following these facts about this atrocity this paper will begin with a historical summary of the Sioux Tribe, the main set of protesters who are fighting to keep the pipeline from being constructed. Following this the paper will discus the culture and sacred sites that the pipeline would be affecting for the Sioux Tribe. Therefore no tribe should have to go through these abuse violation of their lands and such should be a better policy to protect

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)

My research paper is about the fierce Navajo Indians. The Navajos were a very intense group of Native Americans and were greatly feared by a lot of the surrounding tribes. They were one of last known group of Native Americans to arrive Southwest. The warriors got most of their livestock and horses from stealing them from the surrounding tribes and settlers. According to Mele and Magliocca authors of The Navajos “The Navajo Indians migrated from Canada in 1000 A.D and migrated to the four corners of New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, and Arizona.” The Navajos lived on a reservation that was 14,000 square miles. They lived in little houses called hogans and they were made from brushwood, animal skin, and leaves. Since the tribe was so fierce the warriors

The city of Denver and the western pioneers that founded it are analogous with one another. In the mid 1800s, the eastern United States lacked the employment opportunities and lifestyle that many people desired. In result of this unfortunate economic downturn, people known as the pioneers travelled west in search of new opportunities. People came from all walks of life from lower class to the wealthy to pioneer the unexplored lands. They started their journey from the overcrowded East coming from states like Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Iowa, and Illinois. Some were in search of new beginnings, others searching for gold. In 1859, during the Pike’s Peak Gold Rush, gold was found in where the Chicago Creek and Clear Creek meet in Idaho Springs, CO.
When people are asked to voice their opinion about what the word “Indian” truly entails, many refer to the countless stories, photographs, and films particularly related to them. One such group, the Sioux are a great example of the many inaccurate depictions history has burden them with. They are seen first and foremost as savaged killers who took and never gave back. However, with time much has been revealed to show their true characteristics. It was found that they were not people of war and bloodshed, but merely of honor and strength. Stepping away from the bias, the Sioux nation was an extraordinary group of nomads who survived on the buffalo population, tribal interactions, and family contributions.
We're going to tell you about a tribe of Indians known as the Sioux Indians. The Sioux Indians lived on the great plains. The Sioux's tribe is partially and fully located in 7 states.

Today the Sioux Nation are still treated terribly, maybe even worse than in the past. “90 percent of the population lives far below the U.S. federal poverty line…” In the novel “Saga of The Sioux the author Dwight Jon Zimmerman talks about how bad the Sioux were treated in the past, the conflicts, and theme.
