Introducing the Kiowas in history, their traditions are able to tell us how they entered the world and how they lived a hard life. In the late seventeenth century, they migrated southward. The Kiowas acquired horses and also Tai-me, which was their sacred sun dance doll. In the map 6.3 in the textbook, it shows us the Kiowa migration route from 1832-1869 and that they migrated south across the Great Plains. Although they were brought to new homes, they encountered with the Americans and this…

Comanche Indians The Comanches, great horsemen who dominated the southern plains, played a major role in the history of central America. Comanches were originally a part of the northern shoshone. The Shoshone and Comanche even have identical languages. Comanches have moved multiple times like the move away from shoshone tribe or moving due to indian conflict. Comanches culture changed once they obtained horses from trading goods which helped them gain territory. While the Comanche believed they…

explaining how each american sets themselves goals for the future and it depends on how hard you work to reach those goals, or in other words their American Dream. Three examples of people who worked hard and achieved their dreams are Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, and Oprah Winfrey. Rockefeller started off as a young boy who…

The United States is well-known for its two-party political system, Republicans constantly compete with Democrats, trying to promote their political ideals, and search to retain political leadership. Despite the traditional view that the Republican and the Democratic Party are completely different, they are able to find agreement on numerous political and social issues. Democrats generally follow what is called a liberal philosophy, believing that the proper role of the government is to…

In six hundred years only traces of three languages in the world as we know it will remain. Everyone will be forced to learn a new, alien language, and be punished for using any language of the old world. Individual cultures will be lost, and generalized, as the world’s languages die out one by one. This is what happened to most Native languages through colonization and westward expansion. Three native languages are “expected to survive into the middle of this Century”3. Immersion schools are a…

The Native Americans faced many obstacles throughout their transition to the Pine Ridge Reservation. Some of which were caused by the whites, others by their own people. These challenges caused multiple deaths of both the Native Americans and the Whites. One of the largest causes of death for the Native Americans was epidemics and diseases brought by the Whites. The Natives have grown immune or nearly immune to the conditions and diseases that have been a part of their culture in the past. When…

THE PUEBLO REVOLT In 1680 the people best-referred to assemble as "Pueblos" opposed their Spanish overlords in the American Southwest. Spaniards had commanded them, their lives, their territory, and their souls for eight decades. The Spanish had set up and kept up their control with dread, beginning with Juan de Oñate's attack in 1598. At the point when the people of Acoma opposed, Oñate requested that one leg be cut from each man more than fifteen and consequently the rest of the populace be in…

Chronological/Timeline: Winston Churchill (Kenny) When people are asked about me, they will usually say “well, he was the prime minister of Great Britain.” Actually, I didn't much more in my long lifetime. I was born November 30, 1874, in Oxfordshire, England. I was born in the Blenheim Palace, and my religion was Anglican. My father was Lord Randolph Churchill, and my mother was Jeanette Jerome. I grew up in Dublin, Ireland. My real name is Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill. When I started…

further west without disturbing the natives of those areas as well? Thousands of Native Americans died during the forced migration that they called “The Trail of Tears”, and I feel that in some way all of it could have been prevented. Even though Andrew Jackson played a large part in the Indian Removal Act, which in my opinion, was one of the lower points in his presidency, he did have a “deep and lasting impact on the structure of the federal government” (MindTap U.S. History, 9.2). The…

wouldn’t agree with. That being said, we as Americans have learned to live with such things and become a better society due to the ups and downs of our presidents. That being said one of the most memorable presidents was the seventh of the United States, Andrew Jackson. He came in to office in March of 1829 and stayed for two terms. He went through a lot in his life and even more in his presidency. Jackson was the only President to be in the Revolutionary war as well as the War of 1812, what an…
