In 1588, Spanish soldiers received reports that the English were establishing a new colony in the New World. The colonists, not wanting to be attacked and killed…

The decision to change my semester project was an easy one due to the fact that I feel lost on my research project. I have decided to teach about the Lakota. My decision was made as I was standing on top of the capital steps with my friend Thomas YellowHorse protesting Columbus Day. He was in full regalia, meaning, he was covered in ceremonial Feathers. Eagles are protected by law and he could have been arrested if he was not carrying his tribal card. I wasn’t planning on going to the protests…

This man was held captive, he metaphorically became a horse, and in the end, became a man again. I know it sounds confusing now, but you'll understand further in the story. Horse, in 1845,had left Boston. He left for certain reasons. He figured that if he left he could find equality. Meaning he wanted people to be no more or less than he was. He…

As we have read different pieces over the semester, there have been many different texts that can be used to show the different cultures and subcultures of that time period. Also, the different time periods can be a good tool to see how the time period has had an impact on broader American life. To begin, Tamaki’s, World War II: American Dilemmas chapter describes the color lines of America at that time period and how we saw the country from a multicultural perspective. The war made some…

After 30 years, the Ponca tribe had gave the U.S more land in Nebraska leaving the tribe with 58,000 acres of land. Later, Andrew Jackson had become President and created a law to have all the Native Americans move out of Nebraska, solely for the U.S, so they could start having people live there and start a farm and start growing crops.

The Cherokee Night is a play written in 7 scenes by Lynn Riggs. Structurally, Riggs’ drama can be viewed almost as a series of seven “mini-plays” that are called “scenes.” This is because each of the seven scenes contains different characters, although some of them are included in multiple episodes. Another important structural aspect is that each of the seven scenes has its own unique plot. The scenes are not directly or even indirectly connected to each other; each scene is set in a different…

Slavery Among the Cherokee Nation The Cherokee slaves of the 1842 slave riot attempted escape but were unsuccessful. The Cherokee culture made a huge push to become more like the white Americans (10 Incredible). Being more like the white Americans, they decided to capture slaves to help them work on their farm and have them help around the town. Thinking that slaves will help them for only these reasons, they were very surprised by the end of the riot. By 1842, there were over 4,000 slaves owned…
