but appear to target and negatively impact the minority. In the history of America, Native Americans have been stereotyped into a few images. These images to the majority of the public, give a glimpse of what a Native American is. The reality is; however, that those images do not represent all tribes and all aspects of the Native American culture. Instead, society has mashed together what they believe Native Americans should be and who they are. This problem of stereotyping has not gone away, and will

are many races who have suffered inequality for many years, but my focus will be about Native Americans, who I feel has had it the worst. Native Americans have been through a lot from the very beginning. The things that has happen are: losing land,sexual assault, and the reparations they received for land stolen; still, to this day not much has changed.

was the first time European settlers came into contact with American indigenous people. Europeans were shocked and confused when observing the Native Americans. In Europe at this time, women were only thought of as mothers who spent their days cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the children. Native American women however were builders, craftswomen, healers, warriors, farmers, as well as mothers. Intermarriage between Native American women and male settlers, traders, and explorers also took place

and violence during conquest and colonization demonstrates the European perception that Native American women are inferior. Being a Native American woman during the period of European conquest came with many hardships. One of these hardships resulting in perceived inferiority, is the subjection to rape and other degrading and violent actions.

of the American Revolution brought about a new sense of triumph for the privileged white male colonist but did little in the sense of improving the lives of Native Americans, African Americans and women. In fact, improvement in the lives of these groups was an unintended side effect of the revolution, not the desired result. In the beginning of the American Revolution, most Native Americans wished to remain neutral but eventually sided with the British in hopes of preventing the American colonists

In 1492 the Europeans traveled to America and discovered the New World this began many problems between different cultures. The Europeans and Native Americans were the ones who had the most problems with each other. They also have many differences from their values to their ways of life. Their differences range from one believing in God and being Christian while the other believes in many spirits. One has more freedom than the other and one takes over their land while the other needs land is willing

Feminism and patriarchy are not words that are unheard of in American society. In fact, it is quite the opposite. From personal experience, I’ve realized that theses words and the issue of women’s equality have been more and more prominent in the media, on social networks, and even in day to day conversations. Feminism, which is “the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities” is the righteous response to patriarchy, or “ a group or government controlled by men”. The growing
