freezing to death. In the course book on page 547, it states the General Nelson Miles had promised the Nez Perce that they could return to their homeland once they surrendered. He betrayed them. Just like the United States government betrayed the Lakota Sioux with the guaranteed that they would control the Black Hills and then took it away from them once they heard there was gold. I looked into Chief Joseph’s life and found his biography that provides more detail. The article is titled “Chief…

The rate of biracial children is growing ten times faster than that of mono-racial children. According to a recent report of the US Census, Black-White biracial children had grown 500 percent. However, while most biracial children experience racism and discrimination, so do their parents. In Manning’s (2009) research, she conducted a study on the experiences of Midwest interracial married couples raising their children. According to her studies, in the United States children and youth of Black…

I believe the U.S government should give land back to the Native Americans because money wouldn’t do them very good because they want back their land because they were stolen from, the Black Hills from the Great Sioux were stolen because they found gold on those lands. Giving them land is a good things and the U.S can provide them with land and workers to build them new and stable homes and schools so kids won’t drop out and not have a education. The conditions they have on the reservations…

General Custer and two hundred and ten men went to war with the Sioux Indians. General Custer and his army lost their lives that day. The slaughter of General Custer and all his men quickly severed to justify the expansion of moving west. Soon all Indians either surrendered or died of starvation. The Government in turn gave them a reservation to live on. The argument for expansion basically comes down to this, to get a far away from England as possible, and the constant improvement of the…

The largest mass execution in U.S History, The Dakota Conflict, took place in 1862 in Mankato, Minnesota. Such a gruesome event, ended with 38 Dakota warriors hung at the same time. This all began with Manifest Destiny. Manifest Destiny is the belief that the United States was destined by God to expand land from coast to coast. White business men having had this strong idea in their minds caused many difficulties between them and the Native Americans. Native Americans were unable to read or…

Although this video is slightly outdated, it still represents relevant information regarding our health and right to drinking water. I found the video's initial claim that by 2030 two-thirds of America's population would not have sufficient access to water quite startling because I think most people take drinking water for granted. Additionally, I do not think cases like these presented in this video are shown on television or the news as often as they should be. I believe the reason for this is…

Technology is ever growing within our society we as the consumers must be the ones to ensure that technology can be used to benefit society. The primary use of social media may be to create profiles of ourselves and share things we like while following other people who we may or may not know. It can be used to allow our friends to know any personal information we may want to share. We can display ourselves any way we want. It allows us to feel important and connect with people, but it has the…

Today’s hot topic is whether or not to allow immigrants across to United States border. Has America forgotten the Natives were the first people who laid claim to this county, or that we were once immigrants also? In 1492 the coming of the Europeans started with the famous Christopher Columbus when he “Discovered America”. They lived in peace for many years until a series of events broke out that would eventually lead to the The Battle of the Wounded Knee. After the battle occurs the people start…

created a lot of quartz, which was eventually turned into quartz sandstone (Ojakangas, and Matsch 1982). These quartz sandstones are the Sioux Quartzite of southwestern Minnesota, the Nopeming quartzite of the Duluth area, and the Puckwunge formation of north-easternmost Minnesota. In other parts of the state, you would have seen a Mid-Continent Rift Forming. The Sioux Quartzite is somewhere between 1.7 and 1.6 billion years old (National…
