Thinking about the ideal “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.

WE THE STUDENTS ESSAY “The Art Of Civil Disobedience” In April of 2016, members of the Sioux Native American tribe began protesting the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline. After being funded $3.7 billion dollars, the 1,172-mile-long oil-based project announced its plans to be positioned through the Bakken oil fields in northwest North Dakota and travel south-east through South Dakota and Iowa, and end at the oil tank farm near…

increases/decreases and the ‘bison’ The Native Indian civilization change drastically due to Indians battles and the federal treaties on land distribution. It’s establish territory and boundaries for each different Indians tribes whether are the sioux, crows, kiowas and etc. The treaties were created in a year of 1851 at Fort Laramie and at Fort Atkinson.

or injustice. The Dakota pipeline is a controversial topic in the news today. I believe that the Dakota pipeline goes against all three of Michael Sandel’s ideas and is injustice. The Dakota pipeline is not maximizing welfare for the Standing Rock Sioux tribe. The pipeline would affect the tribe’s health and happiness. The pipeline would travel underneath the Missouri River. The tribe uses this river as a water source. The pipeline leaking into the river would…

My Experience with a live NFL Game Have you ever been to a live NFL game to where you feel so thankful that you went? I have, and it was amazing, watching them score. It felt like a dream come true for myself and how outstanding the audience roared with excitement as the Seattle Seahawks scored. The game seemed like a blur on how fast it went by, but it was all worth it. My family and I were very fortunate to have a church to offer tickets to go to a live NFL game over in Minnesota. The church…

Native Americans are victims of police brutality as well and account for 2% of deaths…

The Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and other iconic national monuments have all been successful in commemorating certain times and figures in history. While these monuments are simple symbols of the United States' past, it required much thought and contemplation of certain factors to make them impactful and appropriate. In the development of a monument, an agency should consider the suggested location and the purpose behind the memorial, because these factors…

Throughout American History, Americans have have always discriminated against minorities. None more than the way society as a whole treated the Blacks and Native Americans. Much of the discrimination in the country during the time of the Civil War is erroneous no matter the minority. Although lots of the discrimination in the US was very much individual, especially when it gets into the latter part of the 1800 's. For example, the changes that Huck and John Dunbar had due to personal experiences…
