The Struggle of a Native How can a country move forward if they still cannot respect the givers of their history? Quite frequently, our modern society ghettoizes and segregates our Native people without rational reasoning. Day to day, people are viewing our Natives in negative ways and often face them with several unnecessary challenges. Still, there is no change being made to these unfortunate circumstances, and our First Nations are currently struggling to be accepted by our society. These…

not a single one of those acres were dedicated to Native American Religion besides a teepee set up at the entrance and the noble savage. The only actual living identified Native Americans present were outside the world fair featured in the Wild West show, Buffalo Bill, where they were shown as the bad guys and acted out their own execution. Yet ironically while they were enacting their own death they simultaneously were revitalizing Native American culture and religion with an underground…

I am a Native American. No. I am not Cherokee. Apache? Nope. But close. I am a Navajo. We live in Northeastern Arizona, by the 4 Corners area, where Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado meet. The reason I am typing this essay is because I have recently been informed by my U.S. History teacher that I, a FULL blooded NATIVE AMERICAN, am an immigrant. Don’t worry, I almost fell out of my seat from shock, then choked to death by laughter. The idea of Native Americans being immigrants was…

social foundations of American education, there is the plight of African Americans fighting to end the racial segregation of schools; Native Americans pushing back against the efforts to assimilate them, Catholics who fear that Protestant dominated schools will threaten the religious beliefs of their children and women who wish to be seen more than domestic servants.

European settlement in Canada claimed to be superordinate to the Native people already residing on the land, but seemingly treated them fairly, giving them land and autonomy, when in fact their intent was secretly selfish. Because of this “white settler innocence” (p. 26), Canada garnered a reputation as an accepting and tolerant nation, in particularly towards the Native people, especially when compared to the United State’s treatment of Native people. When in fact Canadian’s only used…

Known for their various types of artwork and different lifestyles, Native Americans are responsible for the contribution of more than 50% of the artwork we see today in our region. Most people believe that museums are basically only places you visit on random school field trips and they can not really teach you anything. I was one of these people. I felt that museums were not interesting at all and because of how boring they were, that no one actually learned anything from them. Well, one trip…

Florida (1763-1783), continuing throughout the second Spanish occupation (1783-1821), and unto the American occupation (1821), Creeks and many other southeastern Indian tribes, driven out of their homelands including escaping wars and colonial expansion, migrated to Florida. Although many other Indian tribes previously inhabited the peninsula, European diseases and wars devastated Florida’s Native population. Those few who survived: Timucua, Apalachee, Oconee, and Yuchi, among others, for the…

“Western Hero” in the 19th century brings to mind three important things which are, giving the United States more land, taking out the Native Americans, and bringing the start of industrialization. Now this is what the civilians of the States were thinking while the western expansion was going on, but people failed to see the struggles they put on the Native Americans. The myth that the western hero is a strong noble man who did their country right, is not entirely true. Yes, without the Indian…

In, Lies my Teacher Told Me, by James Loewen, many different important points are made about how the history textbook industry is corrupt, telling lies, or not telling the whole truth to the young readers. This should be very evident to most people, since textbooks spanning from elementary to high school often tell different pieces of information, and sometimes, complete opposite of those pieces of information. For years, history textbooks have been corrupted by the economically elite, and…

Goodell uses a large amount of logos in his response letter to persuade the congress members. An example from Goodell’s letter is when Roger stated that, “The most recent detailed survey of Native Americans, conducted by the independent and highly respected Annenberg Public Policy Center, found that fewer than 10% considered the name objectionable. Among the general public, an Associated Press survey conducted just two months ago found that only…
