    Carr-Stewart explains tells how the chiefs who signed the treaties truly believed that their people would ultimately benefit from the skills that the Europeans were going to offer in exchange for the sharing of land. This may have been the case if the Europeans had gave these communities what they said they were going to give which included maintaining schools on reserves and paying teachers. The representatives of these indigenous communities expected the education to provide the skills needed to survive in the new economy, as well as being able to keep their existing culture and…

    The treaties of St. Peter and La Pointe in the early 19th century ceded the Native Americans land to the U.S. government in exchange for allowance to still hunt, fish, and gather in the ceded territory, along with a set time period of paid provisions. This produced no problems until January of 1983, when a case was brought to the U.S. Appeals court, resulting in affirmation of the treaties and the Ojibwe tribes rights to utilize the ceded land. In turn, violence ensued between the Ojibwe and non-Indians, specifically structural violence. Structural violence means that the basic needs of Indians are inhibited due to the non-Indian social structure, as well as causing a dramatic change in lifestyle and means of living. The treaty about rights was unclear and therefore left to interpretation, on which both sides differed opinions.…

    Ipperwash Beach has been my home away from home for as long as I can remember. Some of my earliest memories include getting thrown off the inner tube into waves so big they could swallow me whole, campfires that my grandfather would build rain or shine, just so we could get that perfect bedtime treat and a sun burning so bright I thought the sweet summer would never end. As far as I was concerned, Ipperwash Beach was a magical place that couldn’t do any wrong. From a young age, I can remember the whispers and lingering stares I received when I would mention to a camp counsellor or adult family friend that it was almost time to go to the beach.…

Manifest Destiny, meaning the West and other parts of the North American continent would justifiably and inevitably belong to the US, became a term commonly used as pioneers began westward expansion in the US. Many pioneers believed it was under Gods will that the US would rightfully own the West. Conflict came about as racial and cultural tensions became more apparent as settlers moved into Indian territory.…

    After living among the Cherokee in North Georgia as a missionary, I have discovered that the Indian peoples are quite useful. They are all civilized in their own way and know how to work hard for the things that they receive. Their work and harvest skills are impeccable and would be an excellent asset to any community. Although many of the white settlers coming to Georgia wish to dispose of the Indians, it would ultimately be more beneficial for them to stay. The Indians should be able to stay and I am willing to do anything to make this a possibility.…

    Ben Nighthorse Campbell, a Cheyenne Indian and past U.S Senator, once said, “treaties are promises between two nations. And whether they are going to be valid or not, and whether they are going to last or not, is based on the heart and belief of the people that are participating.” (Harjo,221). This short statement is packed with reference to historical treatment and intent of American Indian treaties, acknowledgement of the continued power of treaty making in the present and the lasting social, economic, legal and strategic impacts of reclaiming sovereignty. These sentiments reveal that treaty making has had an extensive effect on the daily lives, both past and present, of countless American Indians as well as American ideology and law.…

Since most agreements between the Europeans and the Aboriginals were spoken-word, it was not hard for the settlers to go back on their promises (Tunstall 1). They began forcing the Aboriginal communities off their land and onto reservations. These reservations were known to have substandard housing and lacked clean drinking water. Many Native tribes resisted against the ways of the settlers, but such resistance only resulted in countless deaths despite the fearless warriors of the Native tribes.…
