Summary

     In Mykaella's blog she talked about the whites gaining their freedom from taking away the freedom of the Native Americans. I learned that the whites took away the Native Americans lands and and they took away their culture by accimilation. Accilimilation is forcing people to do what you believe is to be civilized. The whites used violence to force the Indians into doing whatever they wanted.
     In Natassia's blog she wrote about the abuse that the Indians had to go through when the whites were taking their land away. I learned that many people died trying to protect their culture and the way that they lived. The whites killed many Native Americans because they wanted to take away their land as always. They killed innocent children and women and broke many of their promises.
     In Albert's blog he talked about if the Native Americans were using self defense or if they were just violent. The old western movies showed that the Indians were just savages and attack the whites for no reason. In reality they did have a reason, they were using self defense because the whites were mostly attacking them. The whites mostly drove the Indians away from their land and put them in reservation camps.
    In Ligny's blog she wrote about assimilation to the Indians. The Indians were very calm and peaceful people but the whites saw them as savages. The whites tricked the Native Americans to give up their lands and they were forced to move to0 reservation camps. The whites broke all of their promises that they made to the Native Americans.
     In Ruben's blog he talked about how the psycological state of the whites change after all they had been through to get the land that they had with the British. They saw the Native Americans as another treat that wanted to take away their land so they took it away because the land was kind of the whites pride. In my opinion thiswas kind of true because th whites had to go through alot to get where they were and they want tokeep their pride intact so they will do anything to keep it.

Native American Abuse

      The whites always abused of the Native Americans. Three tribes of the Native Americans were mostly affected by the abuse caused from the whites. These tribes were: the Dakota Sioux, Sittin Bull's tribe, and Red Cloud's tribe. The whites abused these tribes in many different ways. Mostly the whites took away the Native American's lands without giving them anything back, only putting them in reservation camps. Also they were tricked to leave their lands and the whites did not keep the promises that they said they would keep.
      One of the first tribes that the whites took away their land was the Dakota Sioux. The Dakota Sioux were very peaceful people and the whites saw them as savages and violent people like all the people that were uncivilized. The whites made a deal with the tribe, which was that they would give up their land and the whites would give them money shelter, and food. The Dakota Sioux were tricked into giving up their land because the whites did not keep what they promised in the contract.
      Another tribe that the whites abused and took away their land was Sitting Bull's tribe. This tribe tried to fight back but they had no chance against the weapons of the whites which were a lot stronger than those of the Native Americans. Sitting Bull's tribe had to run away north until they reached Canada. The Canadians treated them very nicely welcoming them into their land but the weathers in Canada were very harsh and did not help them. The tribe had hard winters and many people died while they were over in Canada. This made them move back to the US and they were put on reservation camps. Sitting Bull was the last Native American leader to give up against the whites.
      Red Cloud's tribe was another tribe that was abused and tricked to give up their land and to move to reservation camps. When this tribe gave up their land the whites made a contract, which gave the Native Americans food shelter ansd whatever they needed to survive. The whites were lying when they were signing the contract because they did not keep their end of the bargain. People were dying from starvation and they were only given a very small portion of land. Eventually from the lack of medicine, Red Cloud became blind and died protecting thier people with Sitting Bull.
      In conclusion, the Native Americans were always mistreated by the whites in every possible way. The Native Americans were forced to move into reservation camps, which were not nice. They were mostly tricked into giving up their land because of two reasons: or they were tricked in a contract or they were forced to move and put in reservation camps. In my opinion the whites did not have to do everything that they did to the Indians. The Indians did not observe everything that happened to them. We are all equal and everyone should be treated the same way.
