During the Indian Wars an innocent chief was forced to fight in a war for his people's lives because they were deemed a threat even though all he sought was peace. A war could have been prevented if they had only talked with Black Hawk instead of firing upon him and his followers. Black Hawk came from the Sauk American Indian tribe in the Northeast and wanted nothing more than his people to live on the lands their ancestors did. Black Hawk’s tribe resided in Iowa and the surrounding areas. Then United

The Struggle of Canada’s Natives Peoples for Greater Recognition and Autonomy First Nations have the longest history in Canada going back way before the Europeans came and settled. With them, they brought diseases that the Natives were alien to and these diseases killed 90% of the population of Natives.

The Tail of tears was an event that affected the Cherokee Indians very badly. There was a total over 8000 total Indians. There were over 4000 deaths from hunger, disease, and exhaustion. This was Indian Removal in the areas of Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, Florida, and Tennessee. (History) While we were growing, we found an obstacle; there were Cherokee Indians in our way. We thought that this is our land, and we could take over the land because of Manifest Destiny.

what the U.S did to them. The Indian Removal Act wasn’t justified because the Americans took their land, killed their men, women, children, they have broken treaties and cheated them on trades. First of all, the land that the U.S. owned such as Georgia or Florida, was actually the Indian’s land.

This struck a major debate. Andrew Jackson was known to support the removal of Native Americans, so the state of Georgia took advantage of the scenario. With little difficulty, the Indian Removal Act was passed in 1830. The Cherokees did not relocate without a civilized fight. They sent several documents to Congress to argue

The biggest impact the United States had on the Native American society was that they kept pushing them off of their land. There is a quote from Chief Joseph from document 4, Perspectives from the Chiefs, talking about how the United States keep taking things that aren't rightfully theirs.

Explain Jackson’s attitudes towards Indian removal. The attitude projected by Jackson towards Indian removal is negatively to the Indian community. He believed the Indians were taking their lands and killing all our children and women. Indians are under the impression of being enemies to the colonies.
