The Karankawa were speculated to be descendants of the “Carib” indians who according to Wikipedia, arrived by sea from the Caribbean basin in the seventeenth century. They were observed to be taller than any of the other indians in the region, and resembled the Caribs. The Karankawa Indians lived in the Coastal Plains region, along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Their territory extended from the west end of present day Galveston down to Corpus Christi. We know that there were several tribes or bands in this area.…
The quapaw indians were one of arkansas main tribes that were first settled around the mississippi river and the delta to grow crops, but the real question is are they still around today. The Quapaw indians were first known in 1673 when the french came upon them around the area that is now today's Arkansas from that they have been around a long time before that also. The Quapaw indians were not hunters they were mainly gatherers and farmers. They only hunted game for clothes or some food in the cold months and most of the time it was buffalo or white tailed deer.…
Also to support this statement I saw in the article called ‘Indian Removal Map” all the Indian tribes that were forced to move. It shows you that there is 5 different tribes that were moved into Indian territory. Another thing about the Indian removal act was how the Indians felt after they were moved. They felt like they were barely living and wished they weren’t forced to move off their land.…

There were many different, but key moral and legal arguments in the discussion for the Indian Removal Act. The goal of this act was to allow the United States access to the lands East of the Mississippi river. There were many different reasons why Congress decided to pass this act, however the primary reason was because the Indians were sitting on large reserves of untouched riches and minerals. This act, however, went against the law, and was highly immoral because it was taking over lands which did not belong to the United States, and involved kicking the Indians out of their home, forcing them to move West of the Mississippi river. To start, there were many different moral arguments in regards to the Removal Act.…

Land has a tremendous affect on Native Americans starting in the 1912’s till even today when it comes to political issues throughout history with Americans.whether it is fighting for their land, watching their loved ones die from disease while moving, or even losing trust from love ones. Louise Erdrich helps explain to readers what Natives actually went through in the Novel Tracks. Nanapush and many other characters tell us how losing their land to the White Americans created many problems for them. Many of the characters go through a vast amount of pain with themselves and for family. Nanapush is almost like the story teller about what really happened from the beginning to the end, Pauline is the character that does not have a connection with the land like the other Natives, and Eli goes through a family separation, and the same with Fleur…
What do you think the United States should do to make up for the injustices it inflicted on native americans ? I believe that the United States should give money to the Native Americans. Even though the money would not make up for the lives lost and everything else but it will give new opportunities to the native americans right now. If we give money back to the native americans we should give it to them in a beneficial way. One way we could give the money is to give it to the native american families that are struggling to pay for their children's or highschool or college.…
Should the Indians be removed from the plains? This question probably went through the minds of the federal government many times. What helped them to figure out what to do were the Indians terrible choices that started many conflicts.

The Indians in the plains relied on buffalo.…
I believe that the native of Americans deserve their land back. In an attempt to turn suffering into healing, money Is thought to be the solution, which many think should make things fair. However, many Native Americans disagree. The land is their solution. All good comes from the land.…
I believe the U.S government should give land back to the Native Americans because money wouldn’t do them very good because they want back their land because they were stolen from, the Black Hills from the Great Sioux were stolen because they found gold on those lands. Giving them land is a good things and the U.S can provide them with land and workers to build them new and stable homes and schools so kids won’t drop out and not have a education. The conditions they have on the reservations are not stable and the Native Americans don’t even pick up the trash after they use the product inside, they are so done with their lives they don’t even care what happens to their kids so the grandparents will take care of them while they are doing like drinking alcohol and/or doing drugs. There are many reason why the U.S should give them land, but there are some reason why the U.S government shouldn’t give them land. The U.S government can give land back to the Native Americans because the U.S government took away the land.…
On May 28th of the year 1830, President Andrew Jackson signed off on a law named the Indian Removal Policy. This granted the United States Government the right to negotiate with the Native American tribes about relocating the Natives from their current home to land west of the Mississippi River. This law was beneficial to the Native Americans on several accounts. The law ended immediate conflict between the Native Americans and the European American Settlers harassing them, it gave them new land to settle instead of just leaving them with no place to go, and even though some relocations were forced instead of voluntary, the law stated that the Native Americans would be provided with protection and aid during and after their relocation. The…
On May 28, 1830, Congress passed the Indian Removal Act. The law authorized Andrew Jackson to negotiate with Indians for their removal to federal land west of the Mississippi River in exchange for their homelands. Andrew Jackson was able to convince the American people that Indians could not coexist peacefully with them. He argued that the Indians were uncivilized and needed to be guarded from their own savage ways. As a result of his actions, thousands of Indians were forcibly ripped from their homes and onto a journey to a unknown territory, that was not as fertile as their home grounds.…
