should be left alone. For example, if a new country was just added to the world and this new country had incredible influence over the world and then decided to use the American flag as their own. Then the rest of the world starts to recognize that as the new countries flag, with no recognition to America. That would enrage many Americans. So how come we are allowed to do this to people of certain…

different ideas and beliefs. For example, the Native Americans have a very different culture than some one who was born in Bemidji, Minnesota. There is a huge tension between some of the Native Americans and Caucasians people throughout Minnesota and the United States as a whole. The tension between the Native Americans and the Caucasians reminds me of what the African Americans might have felt in the 1800’s until 1900’s and even today. The African Americans just tried to maintain their culture…

The town is part of the Rocky Mountain National Park, one of the country’s 58 national parks. It is located 22.3 miles…

When it came down to women, Native Americans and African Americans having roles in the community, they were extremely limited on what they were allowed to do. It was different for each culture but a majority of them were just stay at home moms for the children, slaves, and worked on the crops. They were not appreciated like men or men in war were. Living a life of walking on egg shells and being “property” to men was not the time to be alive. They had harsh lives because they were considered…

Stories makes the world go around. Narratives across the world inspire human connection, innovation, and the world as we know it. Stories have never been limited in power; they are teachers of lessons, testaments of the creation of the universe, and vehicles of therapy. Our society, lives through stories. Every sinner and saint who has come before us, lives through stories. To forget the stories passed down from generation to generation, and to neglect to share pieces of history with the world,…

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 turquoise beadwork. However, all forms were traded with Europeans, allowing for the assimilation to all Native American forms of beadwork jewelry. Each Native American tribe created a different form of…

These works were either written account of the rigorous toil that went into starting the settlements or the interactions that the settlers had with the Native Americans.

In Richard Rodriguez’s article “Does America Still Exist?” he makes the argument that this type of strife and this type diversity is the very definition of America. Rodriguez, raised during the fifties in Sacramento California, wished to call himself an American but referred to himself as Mexican.…

inhabiting the land that they recently claimed. Countless times in the United States history, native people have been booted from their land and forced to move, pushed into boarding schools, and murdered all because they disgusted Europeans. In the time since the Europeans migrated to North America, the natives have only been abhorred and mocked.
