Natives once occupied most of the continent, but colonization from Americans changed that. On several occasions, the Native Americans would fight back and retaliate against the Americans. One event was the Sand Creek Massacre of 1864. The Cheyenne and Arapaho Indians attacked the U.S. Military and killed mostly women and children. They would also destroy railroad trains and kill all the passengers. The Native Americans were pushed into small-allotted land spaces, which are now called…

The screenplay was written by Sherman Alexie, a prominent Native author, and directed by Chris Eyre, who is Cheyenne and Arapaho, and co-produced by the two. The cast is mostly made up of Native actors and even the crew members included many Native people. This was, and still is, a big deal, as this was a movie about Indians made by Indians, so there was complete control in…

Thinking back in American history, the most notable Native American event is the Trail of Tears. This event, for obvious reasons, is taught in every school and known by every American. Because of the cruel acts during this famous event, it is easy to single this one out and forget about many others. One of the major Native American events that is forgotten is the Ghost Dance of 1890. Like the Trail of Tears, the Ghost Dance effected the lives of the Native Americans; and by the end, a large…

Benjamin Franklin was born on January 17th, 1706 in Boston, Massachusetts. At 17 years old he ran away from Boston to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as a fugitive. This was due to the fact that he spoke against the government saying, "Without freedom of thought there can be no such thing as wisdom and no such thing as public liberty without freedom of speech." Later in life Franklin was known for his anti-oppressive government views. His political views are what he is most know for as he was the…

Starting with the invasion of Europeans, Native Americans have been actively destroyed as a people. Remarkable levels of discrimination towards minorities such as Native Americans, in the United States, after the invasion are displayed through media outlets like the internet and television networks. Commonly, those who tune in to watch the daily news and the newest post on the internet are intruded with one sided bias, sometimes unknowingly. My goal throughout this informative essay is to give…

Good afternoon, I have been advised by Veronica from the Executive Office in Houston, Texas that I should send my request for the “Routing Number and Account Number” of the joint high school account in the names of Sean P. McDermott (son) and Robert D. McDermott (father) that Chase Bank closed through the online secure mail system on October 5, 2015. The account that I am requesting this information on was unexpectingly closed by Chase. Since both of my deposit accounts were in good standing,…

25, 1876, approximately six fateful months after the Commissioner of Indian Affairs issued a strong ultimatum requiring all Native Americans in the northern plains to relocate to a designated reservation, the Lakota Sioux, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho Native American tribes remained in the golden, rugged foothills of south-central Montana, near the Little Bighorn River ("Battle of the Little Bighorn"). Lieutenant George Armstrong Custer was attempting an element of surprise attack with all his…

The Black Hills were part of the Dakota Territory and was a rich reserve of natural resources used by the Sioux Indians for many years. Though the region also contained populations of Cheyenne and Arapaho Indians, they were collectively referred to when in mention of the Sioux, who were the more dominant majority of the region. The region had a long history of rumors of gold that attracted gold seekers and settlers in the early 1800s. The initial encroachments…

world, and to never sign a treaty that would force them to live on a reservation. The chief’s disregard for treaties and reservation life attracted a large following of native American Indians from not only the Lakota tribe but from the Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes. He led his followers to the pristine valleys of the Powder and Yellowstone rivers, where their survival solely depended on the buffalo that roamed the area ("Sitting Bull", 2009). Sitting Bull became the chief of the Lakota nation in…
