The Cherokee nation has been entwined in American history since the discovery of Columbus. From fighting against the Americans in the Revolutionary war to being forced onto the Trail of Tears in the 1800s, from fighting for their land to their large growth in Oklahoma, the Cherokee have had a long and hard existence. They have been influencing american politics and culture for many years. Throughout their vast history the Cherokee have been a great point of culture and tradition in America. To…

Before the 1870s, European Americans believed that the “civilization” of American Indians would be slow and would depend on the separation of Indians and Americans. After the construction of the transcontinental railroad, Americans came to believe that Indians needed to be changed quickly (pg. 149). Coercive assimilation encompassed many policies dealing with the education, culture, and religion of the Sioux people. There was the emergence of an Indian schooling system through the 1880s. At…

The battle at Horseshoe Bend although obscure to most Americans had a great affect the expansion of of America. The Louisiana Purchase of 1808 already showed the greed and appetite for land from white Americans and their need for individual property.

They have lived in the Great Lake region for at least four centuries (Potawatomi Culture). The Potawatomi tribe…

People have always wondered about my affection for beautiful necklaces, exquisite earrings, and one of a kind rings. This infatuation comes from a history of Cherokee beadwork jewelry, where ancestors crafted handmade beads into rare jewelry. Native Americans created the earliest form of jewelry known to North America, although much of their creations have gone unknown due being undocumented. Some forms of native art are more mainstream to current society, such as the silver jewelry with…

preceded ‘Christian Missionaries Oppose Removal’ were markedly different to the events leading to Samuel Marsden’s journal entry – the Cherokee were in danger of being forcibly removed from their land, and the missionaries were in support of them staying because of their great potential for ‘becoming white.’ This ethnocentric view worked in favour of the Cherokee people, however ultimately did not change their fate and their efforts of assimilation were disregarded. The racial biases existing…

The legal source of Native Americans rights in regards to hunting and fishing can be traced back to the 1800’s. In the 1800’s Native American signed serval treaties with the federal government relinquishing them of their lands. During the abdication of their lands the Native Americans were granted their continual rights to hunting and fishing. Normally, these rights would guaranteed them hunting and fishing rights on the reservation. Due to their not being a clear and concise regulation…

At the dawn of the American Revolution, the idea of slavery was widely accepted throughout the country. With the possession of slave communities that dominated the United States 's industry, the colonies were able to produce immense quantities of goods such as tobacco, sugar, rice and cotton.
