    I believe that Keeler see the native americans as a very selected group of survivors because they had to suffer the presumptuous way of life of the Europeans and pilgrims that came to America. They thought of the native americans as heathens and evil people and thought of themselves of people chosen by God. Then, they saw themselves as superior people and brought to America harm to the people and the animals. Also, their bigotry and the treachery altered in a negative way the life of the native americans.…

    Native Americans also tell a different version of their own story of how the Dells formed. Long ago their fathers lived far away and were starving. They prayed for guidance in the grotto of the Green Dragon and sent the dragon on a journey to find a solution. The Green Dragon arrived in the Land of Ice and Snow where he could find no food. His heart was so heavy he stopped to rest, and the beating of his heart was so loud that it carved grooves in the earth where he lay.…

    Native American and European Traditions The English people who first immigrated to America slaughtered the Native Americans to near extinction because they thought the Indians were savages, but just how different, or similar, were the two groups. Both the Indians and Europeans had their own versions of a creation story, and they each had a sort of government that included a constitution. Between the two groups there are distinct comparisons and contrasts within the creation stories of the Indians, “The Sky Tree”, and “How the World was Made”, and the creation story of the bible in the book of “Genesis” as well as comparisons and contrasts between the two civic documents, The Iroquois Constitution, and The articles of the constitution of the…

    Before 1990, there was no legislation about the use of Native American remains and artifacts in science and in museums. Native American groups had been dealing with the issue of their cultural items being taken from them since the arrival of the first Europeans, but unfortunately the law was never on their side. In 1988, they brought the issue to court.

They made their case for the return of Native American remains and for the protection of Native American graves.…
