The Indians should be able to stay and I am willing to do anything to make this a possibility.…

    NATIVE AMERICANS (Lesson 1) A few years ago, I was invited out to the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation, located in southeastern Arizona.

The general belief amongst the whites is that the Indians were a group of uncivilized savages.…

    The European settlers of North America irreversibly changed the way Native Americans lived. These settlers brought different ideologies, convictions, religion and diseases, to the Indigenous peoples. There were frequent clashes between the settlers and the Natives over land rights and usage, religious and cultural differences, and, especially, broken treaties (Calloway 3). Some tribes embraced the new ideas and began to incorporate them into their own culture, while other tribes rejected them entirely (Calloway 4).
