Indian American

The way that the industrial revolution impacted the American Indians was bad. The Native Americans lost land, power and culture. The Iroquois confederation was broken by the American Revolution. The Oneida tribe supported the Americans in the war against British. The Mohawks supported and fought for the British. The Confederacy broken lost power, and prestige. Both the British and the Americans ignored the Native Americans in the peace negotiations. The America army in retaliation for Iroquois…

As for my group presentation on American Indian students, I learned about the cultural heritage and learning styles of the group. American Indian children learn their cultural values such as religious practices, beliefs, behaviors, and language from the family and tribal community. The knowledge that their elders and family retain and pass down are valuable to the child because they believe that their cultural values are important for later in their life (Manning & Baruth, 2009). The culture’s…

examining a bottle here or there, before I am interrupted ( maybe for the better). “I promise!” Junior protested. The biggest lie - for an Indian at least, promising is not in our nature. But, Junior continued: “I will pay back the doctor. I will get a job.” That brought a smile to my face. Job? Jobs on an Indian rez are as hard to find as a sober Indian. Agnes finally interjected, “Honey, it will cost hundreds of dollars, maybe thousands.” Once I heard the price tag on the situation I…

Are American Indians Lawfully Sinners or Just Uninformed? In chapter six of Francisco De Vitoria’s book, “Vitoria: Political Writings,” titled, On the Americans Indians, Vitoria considers various arguments regarding the dominion of the “barbaric” American Indians by determining if sinners, unbelievers and children as well irrational and mad men should have dominion over property and over themselves. Although I agree with Vitoria’s conclusion that American Indians should be treated as any other…

American Indian Experience People want to know the answer to the question, what conclusion can be made about the American Indian experience? Well, I’ll tell you. From reading sources about different kings and Spanish settlers like How Cruel Were the Spaniards? I’ve learned that they were very cruel. As said in the passage, the Spanish word “conquistador” means “conqueror”, which if you ask me says it all. How can you be pleasant and not cruel if you are a conqueror? You can’t, the reason why…

Specifically in North America, the injustices done to the Native American peoples are both overlooked and lacks discussion in both the history classroom. These people, indigenous to North America, have been brutally removed from their land by various European entities throughout the course of history. Assimilation, segregation, oppression, and violence are just some of the many problems Native Americans faced. Overtime, the American Indian Movement has fought such injustices and aided them in…

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…

The Influence of Europeans on the Apache Indians Before Christopher Columbus, European explorer who founded America, founded the Americas, the Native Americans thrived and nourished the land. They had created a housing, government, and religion. They didn’t have the same concepts as the Europeans. The Apache had a unique and civilized way of life until the Europeans came. They had changed their daily life, their culture. Not all changes were bad. It was a mixture of bad and improvements. The…

ranking officials, Americans were self-ruled. They levied their own taxes, elected their own assemblies, and had independent newspapers. The threat from England to strip away the liberties Americans worked so hard to build, would not be taken lightly. Taxes passed by the crown to help reduce the debt caused by The French and Indian War slowly eroded any loyalty Americans felt for the crown. This erosion resulted in The Revolutionary War. At the beginning of The French and Indian War the…

Also, the death rate is higher than for the white population. health care disparities implicated in the degenerative disease American Indians are most of the times ignored. They…
