I am not Native American but would like to share with you the texts that helped me to better understand the Native American culture and my understanding of the atrocities that occurred. Many Native Americans were killed, raped, starved, displaced and betrayed by the settlers to America. The quote from Chief Red Cloud above is probably the simplest and most accurate way to portray the betrayal of his people. \n\nMany tribes were reduced to a minisclule fraction of thier numbers in mass masacres (in which only the white men had rifles) - the most famous of these was the massacre at Wounded Knee. Eventually the tribes in thier dwindling numbers were resigned to reservations and virtually starved because of the fact that they now had only limited hunting lands and the settlers had slaughtered (almost to extinction) the buffalo - which was the Native Americans staple food source. A very similar thing happened here in Australia to our Aboriginal tribes.\n\nThere is so much to know on this topic and I would advise looking into these:\n\n"Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee" by Dee Brown (book)\n\n"Savagery and the American Indian" by Ken Kirby (film documentary)\n\nand checking out this web site for any more documentaries on your Native People.\n\nhttp://shenandoahfilms.com\n\nYou will not only learn of the atrocious behaviour of an ignorant government through this but will hopefully discover a culture which is rich in warmth, respect and mysticism.

Yea, why what happened.  Did we do something bad?  Let me ask my native American friends.  Oh,  they're all dead.  Oh let me see there are some on reservations running casinos.  I don't make it to reservations or casinos to ask the real Americans if they're proud.  I asked the new Americans and most are proud to be still killing and forcing the hypocrisy of political causes and corporate greed on the world while turning a back to the Johnny come lately Americans here that have had their jobs outsourced or given to cheap illegal labor.    What's an American anyway?  Are they like Unicorns?  I am proud to be a conquerer, with lots of material things, fed all my ideas by religious fanatics, to be told how the rest of the world is by a media that is self serving, to let rich folks sit safely in the suburbs while my urban area that was once safe and enjoyable turn into a breeding ground for drug dealers, thieves, robbers, broken families, with everything handed out to everyone but me.  Yea I'm proud to be a part of that and will die for it if asked.  It isn't pretty to look at our mistakes of the past and present. Do I give up being an American because I have to feel guilty or dissatisfied with things not going my way?  I have no choice about being proud and American.  I will lie, steal, cheat, kill, to keep my proud American heritage.  I am proud to be American.  Why are you not?  You sound like someone who isn't maybe.  Don't be spineless and cowardly.  Yell it out.  I am proud to be American.  Give me baseball, apple pie, cheeseburgers, money, cheap chinese goods, football, basketball, cable t.v., cell phones, at whatever cost to anyone so long as I can enjoy it and even if I have to kill someone to preserve these things.  USA baby.  Have a hot dog on me.

white settlers believe in cultivating privately owned land, while the natives believed land belonged to everyone and could not be purchased. whites were farmers, while natives were hunters and gatherers. the white americans promised to reserve certain lands in the west for the native americans, however after many broken treatys they began to distrust the white men. white settlers invaded sand creek even though the cheyenne indians were not attacking and hoped for peace because of bitterness between the two groups. the ghost dance was supposed to bring back the native american way of life before white man interferred. in the battle of little bighorn, white soldiers were severely outnumbered and defeated by the native americans, fueling the fire between the two goups even more.\n\n\nthats pretty much all i can tell you but i hope it helps

We should learn from the Native Americans. \nThey don't have a good immigration policies.  They were to kind, invite White men over for Thanksgiving. The rest is history.

Native Americans did just fine in the world they lived in.  The white man moved in and upset their culture.  The white man spread disease and killed them outright.  The natives were lied to just to swindle them out of the land that was theirs to begin with.

in the early 19th century,the area around Independence and St.Joseph,Missouri was the "far west". Any farther west was for the most part wild and unknown country. The native tribes considered the erosion causing "rolling carts" and the immigrants travelling them to be trespassers. Tribal relations with the Europeans would decide how  these disruptive white people would be dealt with. It is only after many incidences of treachery, slaughter of cherished food stock animals, land-grubbing,and mass immigration that the natives ran out of answers to the great white problems which seemed to divide their culture with roads and unwanted problems.The phrase "Manifest Destiny" seemed to imply that it was a divine right of the settlers to plant themselves anywhere they wanted to. Often small infractions became larger problems. Misunderstandings with native culture became prejudice and hatred. Native misunderstandings of caucasian culture seemed to prophecize the end of their millenium old customs and traditions. When the trails to the west became more proliferant and widespread and immigration robbed natives of sacred ground,food,and heritage--the tribes retaliated in the only way left available to them--with the same hostilities they used against other imposing tribes. You can only imagine their shock and horror at the explosion of migration when the railroads were built. WHen the Santa Fe trail was completed-the expansion of the US was still in full bloom-many people were seeking the gold and silver fields of New Mexico,Arizona,and California. The southwestern tribes were neither allegiant to Mexico or the Spanish,and now, alien  Europeans were coming to stake their own claims,and subdivert the land with their own strange customs and mannerisms. By the time Geronimo died in the early 20th century,most of these tribes had been secluded to small reservations or removed completely to Oklahoma--

I have the solution! Give this land back to it's right full occupants!From the very day that the white man stepped on our shores,he began to pollute the land,air and waters,use up all the natural resources.The gov. decided it would be a better life for the Indians to live on a reservation.And when the Indians resisted they began the slaughter of the men,women and children of our Great Indian Tribes!All in the name of "progress" you see if anyone has the right to be upset over the immigration laws,it surely should not be "the white immigrants"

A series of broken treaties.  The usual, white man taking what he wanted and expecting other human beings to just put up with it in silence.  \n\nResearch the treaties involved and what became of them.\n\nSue

Hi\n\nI don't know how many words you are allowed for your homework but try to include the following examples.  By the way, the word genocide is itself a modern concept - it was created as a word by Lemkin in 1943.\n\nIn modern times, there are specific instances of genocide which spring to mind and these are well worth basing your essay on.\n\nThe foremost one is the Holocaust, the genocide of the Jews by the Nazis during World War II.  Another significant one is the Rwandan massacre of 1994.  A third is the Srebrenica massacre of 1995 during the Bosnian War. These are all genocides which have since been judged in the International Courts and so there is plenty to read on them.\n\nAs a start, take a look at this Wikipedia article:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocide

First off you have to understand that white people don't understand because they can't relate. This nation call America is a hypocrite, name me one time throughout history that America ever admitted to any of their wrong doing? Never! Why are people so blind to see that America is the biggest threat to the world,why? Because they been making and committing crimes since the beginning against other nations and still do it. Because they can justify all their action. Like when they took this land instead of admitting they were wrong the say it "happens" and since Indians are OK with it mean that it OK. When they, America  killed millions of blacks and rob them of everything in everyway they say it "happens" they say bad thing have happen to the Jews, Irish, Hebrews, etc. "Everyone was mistreated at some point", by saying this makes that 400+ years of oppression OK because it "happens."\n\nNow would they still feel the same way if a hate group of blacks started killing INNOCENT whites because that hate them. And then this Black hate group say "don't punish us because people kill people all the time for hate, so why should we be punished"\nWhy do they resent such crimes committed against them, but justify the crime committed against others?\n\nSo according to there concept it happens to everyone at one point or another so it okay to kill, shot, steal, rob, lynch, oppress people because it "happens". And any nation that does these things should not be punish because other nations do it all the time. As long as you let America believe that, not slavery but the oppression and deaths of many blacks not only during slavery but also the civil rights era. As long as America believe it's Ok then they will always pose a threat to the world. The moment you let crime be committed and go unpunish then you are only cheating yourself, if you don't stand up for what is right then you will place yourself in bondage. \n\nThey say the Indians don't talk about was happen to them because their OK with it. The Indian should be kings of this land and should be paid taxes to all Indains that live here. They don't because they let other dictate who they are and what they should have. But Blacks are different don't let anyone make you think that crimes and oppression committed angainst God's people is okay.The only reason to keep you a slave ethier physically or mentally is by keeping you a fool and void of truth. If you don't know truth then how can you be set free.

Well before the Europeans first came to America there were an estimated 9 million Natives living here.\nby the end of the 1880's that number was just over a million\n\n90% were killed by the new diseases brought over \nwhole tribes just vanished over night!\n\nthen after that the American government practiced Eugenics on Native women up until the late 1970's \nThe Native American Woman's Health Education Resource Center has documented abuses carried out by the Indian Health Services (IHS), Job Corps, and other agencies on which Native American women were forced into sterilization so they wouldn't breed any more little redskins...\n\nI believe the official number of victims is just over 65,000\nbut the case study only looked at 12 tribes. so most of us think that number would rise quite a bit if the whole truth got out.\n\ncant tell you about Africa but I'm sure Nelson Mandela could share a few stories...

Think: Cherokee, Chippawa, Lenape, Seminole, Chocktau...all indigenous tribes in our country, all pushed out and massacred for the same reason the aborrigionies and the Indians got some too. We're greedy land bastards.

"The whole 'because whites were so bad in the past' is a ridiculous excuse, and not an answer."\n\nSorry, but it IS an answer and a valid one.
