David Mitchell, an English novelist once said, “All revolutions are, until they happen, then they are historical inevitabilities.” This quote best describes the situation during both the American and Indian revolutions. The American and Indian Revolutions achieved independence from Great Britain for many reasons. The British involvement in both countries were different in the way they drove the start of the revolution, and the actual war of independence was developed by the different ideology of…

For this week’s forum I decided to research the Shawnee and Chickasaw American Indian Tribes due to the fact these particular tribes populated both areas the paternal and maternal sides of my family originated from. The Shawnee tribe mainly populated Northeast areas such as Ohio and Indiana. Their culture was based on a village lifestyle where farming and hunting were done by the men of the tribe while the women focused on household chores and took to pottery. The homes were round in shape and…

American Indians have undergone years of suffering and disrespect. Centuries ago they were murdered, conquered, and dehumanized to only still be disregarded as second class citizens to this day. Due to this adversity, Native Americans have developed a condition named American Indian Historical Trauma (AIHT). There is many various types of traumas that people could suffer from, but AIHT is specifically for Native Americans that suffer from the horrid past of their people. Some people may find…

Fighting between American Indians and settlers began almost immediately after settlers settled in the New World. As time went on Americans needed more land to accommodate the growing populations, in turn they pushed the American Indians out farther west.

Chiefs did not give up their land therefore instigating bloody conflicts and the creation of reservations. After Indian wars,…

All the tribal leaders agreed after Jackson's landslide victory in 1832. It is generally acknowledged that this act spell the end of Indian…

have argued and questioned was the U.S (whether the U.S. was) justified in its treatment of the American Indians. From the information and the documents, I have read and informed I believe this statement is false. There were men and women such as John Ross, and Jane Gay who wanted to improve the Indians lifestyle and housing. Also, an Indian named Tecumseh that wanted people to fight against the Americans and believe they were not treating them well. John G. Burnett wrote in his journal…

Americanization: The Creation of the Indian Stereotype In Fall 2015 I took an American Indian Studies course, at first I was not thrilled since history courses are not my best subject. However, there was something different about this course that was intriguing. I began to find it appealing due to the information and history that was provided. In my perspective I found a connection with my culture and some of the suffering American Indians went through. As our course continued I was fascinated…

There were many conditions that allowed for early Americans to mistreat the Native American Indians, two of them being the supposedly superior culture of Americans, and the differences in the culture of the Native American Indians.

They looked at the Native American Indians and saw a people that hunted with bows and arrows, that didn’t have any rules or laws, and that were wild…
