Does Family and Culture Outweigh the Problems of Reservation Life? The first Indian reservations were created by the United States government in 1851 as places where Indians can live and have their own tribes. For a lot of Native Americans, the Indian reservations hold a strong sense of community and culture and they feel like it is home. However, in many cases, such as in the case of Sherman Alexie in his personal narrative The Absolutely True Story of a Part Time Indian, Native Americans feel…

exploration was still very prevalent for new lands, and Native woman Sacajawea played an impressive part in that. Nevertheless, disagreements also formed between the Indian nations and the colonists such as the Indian Removal Act and the case of Cherokee Nation versus Georgia which included tribes all over like the five civilized tribes. From being forced off their land to showing and guiding the way for explorers, the Native Americans have a long history in our past dating back hundreds and…

William Nester, The age of Jackson and the Art Power 1815-1848. Dulles Virginia: Potomac Books, 1956. The age of Jackson although I felt as if it was a hard book to spot the main argument it was an overall good read and interesting. This book really dives into the life of Jackson and tells him from birth to death. I feel as if Nesters argument was just showing the way at which Jackson personified the era and, as he stated on page 2, was the titan if the thirty-three years from 1815 to 1845 and…

Chief Pontiac was an Ottawa war chief that was able to unite a dozen tribes stretching from Lake superior, all the way down to the Golf Of Mexico. Pontiac had visions at to how his people should live to support his cultures way of life. He fought for the land that was given to his people by their creator. His ultimate plan…

Selflessly, Worcester did not make the case only about himself and his unfair conviction, but the question concerning whether the state of Georgia can constitutionally force their authority over who the Cherokee tribe has relations with, and who the Cherokee allow on their land, as well. At the end of the trial, it was concluded by Chief Justice John Marshall that since Worcester was “within the said territory so recognized as belonging to the said nation and so, as aforesaid,…

The Westward Expansion has often been regarded as the main factor in the shaping of American history. The expansion of the United States into the territory west of the Mississippi River began with the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. President Thomas Jefferson nearly doubled the size of the nation, and began the infrastructure of building what is now today the United States of America. Several played a big role in determining the nature of this expansion; Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson were able…

Memorial of the Cherokee Nation is about the plight of the Cherokee Indians in the 1830s. Beginning after the War of 1812 when the white men were moving south in to states such as Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi, five civilized Indian nations occupied these states and the Cherokees in particular were located in Georgia. This land was prime for growing cotton and the white farmers wanted the Indians off of the land so they could prosper from cotton growing. There were federal treaties in…

The American government is going to take Cherokee land by any means possible, especially in Georgia. At this time, the United States is still expanding their territory and so they want the land that legally belongs to the Cherokee, even if it requires breaking laws. The main debate is over the Cherokee’s deciding which path offers the best chance of survival for the Cherokee in the early 1800’s: staying in their original territory or removal to the west. The best option, in regards to survival,…

United States government against the indigenous peoples of America, perhaps no other effort can compare to the implementation and aftermath of the Indian Removal Act of 1830 for sheer sinister deliberation. By the end of the 1840s, an estimated 16,000 Cherokee indians were forced to leave their homes, 4,000 of whom died along the way from east of the Mississippi to Oklahoma (Teaching History.org, home of the National History Education Clearinghouse., n.d.). In the year 1828, Andrew Jackson…

Andrew Jackson was one of the most controversial presidents ever. He was widely considered a hero for what he did for the country while he was in the military. He helped delay the start of the civil war while he was in office. He also obtained Florida from Spain for the US. On the other hand though, he felt very strongly about US expansion. So much to the point that he removed millions of Natives from their homelands, despite the Supreme Court’s ruling it unconstitutional. He also chose to make…
