The intended audience of the article “ The Indians' Old World:Native Americans and the Coming of European”, are the general public and historians because the article shows how a lot of people give more importance of American history after Columbus rather than before Columbus and criticize how historians know much less history prior to arrival of columbus in 1492. For instance, the author Neal Salisbury states that “historians now recognize that Europeans arrived, not in a virgin land, but in one that was teeming with several million people (435)”. 2. The author’s main argument is that there was densely populated society before European arrival, how certain patterns and processes originated before and after contact with the Europeans.…

After six weeks of fighting with many casualties on both sides, the then governor of Minnesota, Henry Sibley led a final onslaught against the Dakota Indians. The Dakota warriors were subdued and captured; about three hundred and three Sioux warriors were tried and sentenced to murder for their involvement in the war. Out of the number, thirty-eight of the warriors were publicly executed on December 29, 1962; the rest was commuted to various life sentences by Abraham Lincoln, who was the president of the nation during that period. Under the command of Colonel Marshall, the bodies of the executed men were placed in four military wagons and taken to the grave which had been prepared for them. If the United States government had kept her part of the treaty, may be the war and its consequences would have been averted.…

Roles of Leadership and Relationships to Land of Pueblo and Iroquois Native Americans Prior to the American Revolution Pueblo and Iroquois Indians that resided in the Southwest and Northeast respectively had very rich and diverse cultures that involved trade and complex religious beliefs that influenced their roles of leadership and relationships to land. Roles of leaders in both Pueblo and Iroquois societies included religion, trade, diplomacy, and after colonization began, resistance.

The near-destruction of many Native American civilizations was caused by the US federal government.…
They spend more time in school than they spend at home with their parents, meaning that almost half of their moral values are acquired from their teachers. For instance, I saw a video about a teacher called Rita Pierson who was just like Lewis; she was encountering the same challenges with her students. Her students were academically deficient, and it was very hard to see them otherwise. But Pierson decided it was time to take a different approach.…

Large poverty populations, large populations not connected to sewers and life expectancy over five years under the average Americans sounds like we would be talking about a third world country but these are the living conditions experienced by Native Americans residing on Indian reservations today. This is a huge problem because today the United States is home to 5.2 million Native Americans and around 22% of them are currently living on tribal lands. So many Native Americans are struggling just to survive on reservations “The U.S. Census Bureau reports about one of every four American Indians lives below the poverty level.” As Mark Martin discusses in his article “Native Americans: A Forgotten People?” Native Americans statistically experience…
My goal is to work with the Dutch East India Company to explore more efficient trade routes to North America in an effort to make trade with the Native Americans. There are a few essential skills and abilities that are needed to be qualified for this task, and I believe that I possess them. To begin, at a very young age I was well educated about navigation, which has helped me in the past to make many voyages around the world. I think that it is crucial to understand how to properly navigate in order for this expedition to be successful.…
