The Native Americans were wronged by colonists for years and years. They were not given the same rights and they were forced to leave their home. The Native Americans also lost their lives due to diseases brought by the Europeans and whilst battling against them. They had plenty of injustice and all they wanted was just equality. They did not want to be discriminated for their race and religion. In Chief Joseph’s “An Indian’s View Of Indian Affairs” and James Welch’s “The Man From Washington,” outsiders making decisions for others affects the promises they made because it shows how the white men did not care about how they affected the lives of Native Americans. They did not care if the natives suffered as long as they got what they wanted.
