The history of the Native Americans and the white colonist that would become the United States of America have always been a disaster for the Native Americans. The land greed of the whites had driven the tribes of the East west, and destroyed the culture of the Midwestern Plains tribes. Near constant war with the Native American finally appeared to come to a peaceful solution. The Native Americans resisted the American way of life because they did not understand it, education was the key to civilizing

language loss is still in effect to some extent today, however there are methods of trying to reverse this. The oppression the students felt in turn affected their roles into American society and today their economic situations. The motivations by Pratt to start the assimilation at a young age was detrimental to their future generations who could not be raised by traditional methods. The boarding schools has evidently had a greater lasting legacy because we often learn about them before policy like

their territories from the miners’ trails and Mormons that had begun settling in Northern Utah. As a result of this conflict, a massacre took place which led to major changes in settlement of the Cache Valley territory. Reformers, Herbet Welsh and Henry Pancoast wanted to civilize the Indians’ tradition. These reformers’ goal was to “assimilate” the Indian Tribes culture to the “American way of life.” The Bureau of Indian Affairs established the first boarding school on the Yakima Indian Reservation

Facts you didn 't know about Jurassic World Jurassic World has broken several records on its opening weekend with increasing number of fans worldwide. It has been given amazing reviews by the critics. The movie revolves around a human- engineered hybrid Dinosaur because of which the movie itself has become “Indominus Rex” at the box office.

Racism had been around since the 1400s although the actual term “racism” was first notably coined in 1902 by Richard Henry Pratt after his well-known phrase, “Kill the Indian, save the Man.” Millions of humans worldwide were and still are affected by racism in the most negative ways, such as the bus ride with Rosa Parks or the famous words of Martin Luther King Jr. Alongside these names stands Lorraine Hansberry, the playwright of A Raisin in the Sun and one human that was personally affected by

Indian Affairs (BIA) violated that basic right by admitting to the ethnic cleansing of Natives in the western tribes (Glauller). The Europeans wanted to turn the “savage” people into proper white educated men and women. To contribute to that, Richard Henry Pratt, the man who ran the boarding schools, said to “kill the Indian and save the man” (“In the White”). This means to get rid of the ways the Natives were raised in, and save the person holding on to them. A few ways this was attempted was by putting

People do not need to be involved in the process of making decisions about being wrong. Laura Tohe, in her book No Parole Today, she explains how General Richard Henry Pratt wanted to assimilate the Native American population to accept American culture; this decision was very controversial among the Natives and affected a great deal of them (Tohe ix). However, some errors are relatively innocent. Tohe describes

Cultural Sovereignty in my opinion is the idea that a people can have their own culture and community without having someone decide how they live, the ability of free choice. According to an article by Wenona T.

Assimilate in “The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fist Fight in Heaven” “Kill the Indian and save the Man,” sounds more like something out of a dystopian novel than an educational campaign slogan, but in 1887 those were the words chosen by Army Lt. Richard Henry Pratt to garner public support for government’s attempt to forcefully “Americanize” Native Americans. Native Americans that survived violence were coerced into wearing white man’s clothes, cutting their hair, and not speaking their native languages

In our society, it is inferred that conforming to the masses is the American way. Whereas, in a Native American culture, where everything is connected, one would think that conformity would be encouraged and individuality would be frowned upon. Yet, we see in the stories of Zitkala-Sa the importance of individuality being taught to her growing up, and her attempts as a child, as well as an adult, to rebel against anything that would oppose it. We see her fight and struggle to hold on to her individuality
