The buffalo played an important role in the life of the Crow tribe, whether it be for a source of food or for the reason they are packing up their lodges and moving. A majority of Pretty-Shields stories came about when the buffalo were abundant, according to her that was the time when her people were the happiest. Nevertheless, Linderman made attempts to get stories about her people’s present condition, “When the buffalo went away, the hearts of my people fell to the ground, and they could not…

By the time the 1830’s the government had forced the native tribes to move to the great plains . White settlers believed that the land they were on was to dry for planting crops , this is why the Treaty of fort laramie was put into place in 1851 not many agreed to it but they had no choice . In 1864 the Sand Creek Massacre happened when the militia set fire on a peaceful village , later the tribes responded with attacks on soldiers and settlements these attacks is the result of the Second Treaty…

Quanah Parker (Comanche kwana "smell, odor") (c. 1845 or 1852 – February 23, 1911) was a Comanche/English-American from the Comanche band Quahadi ("Antelope-eaters"). Strictly related also to the Nokoni band ("Wanderers" or "Travellers") (his mother's people), he emerged as a dominant figure of the Comanche, particularly after the Comanches' final defeat. He was one of the last Comanche chiefs. The U.S. appointed Quanah principal chief of the entire nation once the people had gathered on the…

Andrew Jackson had a great victory in 1828 when he won the presidential election. He obviously had a very powerful political campaign because he had 70% of the casted votes. His message stayed the same as it was in 1824, but it had more intensity. Jackson said the nation was tainted by “special privilege.” Jackson claimed distinction with his military career that included the Revolutionary War and his big moment in the Battle of New Orleans in the end of the War of 1812. Jackson’s presidency…

Andrew Jackson almost always ignored the law, he killed innocent people, and kidnapped a baby from the baby's dead mother. This may be a shock to the people who see Andrew Jackson on the twenty dollar bill. Andrew Jackson is a thief , A liar, and a murder. Andrew Jackson should not be on the twenty dollar bill. Andrew Jackson miss treated the native Americans As historians discovered, ¨During the fall and winter of 1838 the Cherokees were forcibly moved west by the united states government.…

Andrew Jackson’s harsh actions towards Native Americans remain as a notorious part of his presidency. The United States desired to expand westward, but Indians living in the South presented a formidable roadblock. With integration proving to be too difficult, Jackson proposed the Indian Removal Act that passed in Congress in 1830. The act allowed Jackson to trade federal territory with Indians for their land. Jackson’s First and Second Annual Message revealed his attitudes towards Native…

Quanah Parker made many choices, and had consequences for his actions. Not all consequences are bad though. I feel that Quanah Parkers consequences were positive ones. He was a leader, in charge of his Comanche people. He had to do many things to keep his people safe. In his eyes fighting for himself, his people, their rights, and their land is what he had to do in order to keep them safe. I feel that all of his decisions helped his people rather than harmed them, because his choices were made…

“The 1854-1855 Western Washington Treaties” (article 1) describes the unfair treatment the Indians endured when Americans wanted to expanded westward. The United States appointed Isaac I. Stevens to “negotiate” treaties with Indian nations. Stevens believed that Indian culture had no differences, so many times tribes with totally different languages and cultures would be put together on a reservation, even tribal enemies. He also felt that that Indians should not be given fertile lands, and the…

My first example of hybridity is feathers. Feathers have had many uses for thousands of years. Feather pillows have been around since 400 C.E. Then came the steel pen in the mid-nineteenth century, made from the quill of goose feathers. In certain cultures feathers contained a great sense of symbolism, and often associated with spirituality. Starting in the sixteenth century in Brazil feather bonnets were made and worn for ritual dances and religious ceremonies. Feathered spirit masks were worn…

There were numerous factors that shaped how Americans viewed the native tribes. A general suspicion and fear existed on both sides, influenced by the conflict and differences between the natives and the American settlers. There were also several different viewpoints on the native tribes that the Americans held, each either bluntly or subtly communicating superiority over the natives. The belief in inevitable white expansion also affected these viewpoints. To begin with, one of the ways warfare…
