Why is it important to know the beliefs and traditions of those who came before us? What could happen if we ignore the past? Use complete sentences, and paragraphs to complete your question. Your answer must include three references from, "I am a Native of North America", and three references from "Freedom Walkers" and "JoAnn Robinson."

In Freedom walkers and in JoAnn Robinson they want to stand up for their own beliefs because they don’t want to sit in the back of the bus they want to sit where ever on the bus,not the back of the bus.And she didn’t care who would hurt her like the bus driver because she wants to sit in the front of the bus.

    Ojibwa Warrior Review

    There must first be the understanding that there were many nations who lived in the Northern Hemisphere before it became the nations of Canada, Mexico, and the United States of America. They were known as the Cherokee, the Creek, the Algonquin, or the Chippewa. These nations were established in relative proximity of others such as the Crow, the Shoshone, and the Iroquois. Many once sovereign Indian nations had resided throughout the easternmost majority of what is now America and Canada. The expansion of European industries and the availability of natural resources that were found with North America caused forceful takeovers of Native lands and strategic genocide of many Native Nations by the rising American nation. These Native nations were forced from their lands under heavy physical pressure from the United States government and many endured weather, famine, and disease as they migrated from their homes to lands promised to them. Long before the state of North Dakota or the city of Cheyenne in Wyoming ever existed, there were the nations of the Dakota, the Sioux, the Lakota, and the Cheyenne Indians. These natives were repressed into small reservations and forced to comply with state regulated hunting and fishing practices, even if they restricted the Indians’ ability to provide sustenance for the tribe.…

    Alvar Nunez Cabeza De Vaca Analysis

    Most of the beginning of American history seems like a race of conquest between the Spaniards and Europeans with Native Americans caught in the crossfire. A seemingly peaceful group of people, the Native Americans were under constant attack from the moment settlers arrived into their territory. Historians can pull from first-hand accounts and primary sources to piece together the history of this nation. One Spainard exploratory mission wrecked off the coast of Florida with about 400 men (OTP S1-6, OTP 22). After long battles and shipwrecks, the expedition was cut short and only four men survived, one an African slave and Spanish explorer named Alvar Nunez Cabeza De Vaca. De Vaca wrote a narrative explaining his encounters with Native Americans who had never seen white or black people before. De Vaca described the Indians as “war like people…and protect themselves from their enemies as they would have if they had been raised in Italy and in continuous war” (OTP S1-6). He explains in his narrative…

    A Different Mirror

    In a lively account filled that is with personal accounts and the voices of people that were in the past left out of the historical armament, Ronald Takaki proffers us a new perspective of America’s envisioned past. Mr. Takaki confronts and disputes the Anglo-centric historical point of view. This dispute and confrontation is started in the within the seventeenth-century arrival of the colonists from England as witnessed by the Powhatan Indians of Virginia and the Wamapanoag Indians from the Massachusetts area. From there, Mr. Takaki turns our attention to several different cultures and how they had been affected by North America. The English colonists had brought the African people with force to the Atlantic coasts of America. The Irish women that sought to facilitate their need to work in factory settings and maids for our towns. The Chinese who migrated with ideas of a golden mountain and the Japanese who came and labored in the cane fields of Hawaii and on the farms of California. The Jewish people that fled from shtetls of Russia and created new urban communities here. The Latinos who crossed the border had come in search of the mythic and fabulous life El Norte.…

    history book

    Native Americans and the colonist were always fighting over property, food, and whatever other reason they could possibly find to fight one another. When they fought they had one thing in common, they kidnapped as many people as possible. When the Englishmen captured the Native Americans they would either sell them into slavery, kill them, or were fled westward never being able to farm on their homeland again. In the book, (pg 54), they explain how the Indians invaded the town of Lancaster, Massachusetts, but very few Indian victories were the outcome of these disputes. By mid-July of 1676 a thousand personals were taken from the Algonquin tribes. Even though the colonists were the ones who came out on top in majority of the disputes the Native Americans were able to kidnap some female colonists. The Native Americans would not sale them into slavery they would just keep them around in their camps. They did not beat them like, the Englishmen back in the colonies, and they would treat them much better than they were use to back home.…

    North American Relations 1600s

    The time period between the 1600s and 1700s was a time of major change for the natives of North America. The incursion and colonization of Europeans into North America had considerable impacts on Native American lives. Suddenly, North American natives found themselves entangled by European power politics. European empires at the time, such as the French, English and Spanish empires, often fought against each other for power and control. The arrival of Europeans into the North American continent meant new political relationships for both the Europeans and the Native Americans. Both sides had something to gain out the relationship such as military alliances and new trade goods. European power politics and rivalries were a major factor in the…

    Native Americans: Manifest Destiny to Present

    Early on in the text we learned about a time period in our history that took the land from the Native American’s, making them promises of a better life if they would move to different locations in the country and live on a Tribal Reservation. This period of time was called manifest destiny and caused an everlasting effect upon the Native American’s in this country. The Native American’s went from complete freedom, which included being able to roam and move about as they wished, and each tribe valued in most cases other tribes land and laws. Manifest Destiny caused isolation and hardships in many ways for those that were native to America long before settlers came to the new land. Today there are still many issues that face the Native American people and continue to isolate them as a people, which has led to their isolation in many ways, and still today the tribal nations fight for their rights and to practice their beliefs against the American Government. What changed so drastically that turned the Indians against the white man? Were these the same white men that were welcomed with open arms by the Indians when they first stepped foot on American soil? Did and has the American governments greed caused the continued struggle for the Native Americans when it comes to isolation issues? These are just a few of the issues that will be explored in this paper.…

    The Forced Assimilation of Native Americans

    After about ten years of fighting, the US and the Native Americans end the wars with many Native Americans being allotted land by the United States. This is hardly fair to the Indians. As Chief Joseph said in 1879, "You might as well expect the rivers to run backward as that any man who was born free should be contented penned up and denied liberty to go where he pleases." Even more appalling was how, during and after armed conflict, whites in the United States tried to integrate the Native Americans into white society; destroying American Indian culture, language, and society so that the Indians could assimilate into society. Government officials were opposed to all manifestations of Indianness and were devoted to the…
