Native American Exile
That is a crazy experience you had being on the cruise that rescued the Cubans who were exiled. It is sad to think about how people are forced to leave their home, because their way of life is no longer acceptable. I do think that exile is still happening all over. People do not want immigrants to come into their country because they feel as if they are invading. Natives feel as if they are taking money away from their country and taking over their jobs.

    Cuban Migration

    Considering the close proximity of Cuba to the United States, it indicates that there has always been migration between United States and Cuba. During the 1800’s, immigration had become very popular amongst Cuba and the United States. In the 1800’s Cuban merchants and businessmen generally conducted business, and casually visited United States on vacations, and vice-versa. But all that changed when Fidel Castro took over Cuba in 1959, hence, having a significant rise in immigration from Cuba to the United States. Over the years thousands of Cubans fleeing Cuba on makeshift boats has become a routine to the United States. But the most important of the Cuban migration has happened in the past 40 to 50 years.

    Native Americans in the United States and Squanto

    Squanto is a Native American who lived in the early seventeenth century in what is now the Northeast United States. When the English came to this area of America to settle, they became very fond of Squanto and used him as a translator due to his unique knowledge of the English language acquired through an earlier voyage to Europe. Squanto helped the Pilgrims adapt to their new surroundings by providing them with the knowledge that he and his ancestors used to survive when they first settled in this area. He became known as a friend to the English and a spokesman for his Native friends (Johnson p.2). However, in helping the English, Squanto realized the power he had obtained through his position and used it for his own gain against the Native Americans. He helped the English to destroy some Indian tribes and used trickery to obtain undeserved favors from many people in his own tribe. While Squanto was essential to the survival of the English in their American colonies, he betrayed his Native American friends in the process of providing the English with what they needed to survive (Johnson p. 2).…

    Native Americans During Western Expansion

    Around the 1870s, the government handed out ration of food to Indians. Native Americans were not able to freely do anything during Western Expansion because they were only allowed to be in the reservations. They were not able to hunt or farm so the government distributed food to them. Native Americans were not able to hunt anymore because all of the buffalo were gone due to the settlers. Their reservations were poor land with no rich soil to farm. The Native Americans couldn’t supply no more food to their tribes so they had no choice but to accept the food rations from the government.…

    Indigenous People Pre-Invasion

    Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are the Indigenous people of Australia. They live in all parts of the country, from major cities to remote tropical coasts and the borders of the central deserts. They are not one group, but comprise of hundreds of groups that have their own histories, beliefs and values, languages and cultural traditions. The health status of Indigenous people pre-invasion is difficult to assess in ways comparable to current data. However, there is strong evidence that many infectious diseases including measles, the flu and smallpox were not present before the invasion. It also appears that lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure and ischaemic heart disease were unknown (CAAC, 2015). Whilst Indigenous…

    Native American Colonialism

    In discussing the contact between Europeans and the indigenous populations of the Americas, we often consider the historical and political aftermath of their imbalance, the complex relationship between the two established over the course of hundreds of years. However, what we too often forget to discuss is how this colonialism too easily continues to exist to this day, albeit with the ratio of interests involving economical gain versus imperial expansion perhaps reversed a little bit. In this piece, we will analyze the article of “Construction of the Imaginary Indian” by Maria Crosby and the first chapter of “Debt: The First 5000 Years” by David Graeber to help us construct what can be understood as modern colonialism by investigating the…

    Cherokee Indian Removal

    The tragedy of the Cherokee nation has haunted the legacy of Andrew Jackson"'"s Presidency. The events that transpired after the implementation of his Indian policy are indeed heinous and continually pose questions of morality for all generations. Ancient Native American tribes were forced from their ancestral homes in an effort to increase the aggressive expansion of white settlers during the early years of the United States. The most notable removal came after the Indian Removal Act of 1830. The Cherokee, whose journey was known as the '"'Trail of Tears'"', and the four other civilized tribes, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek and Seminole, were forced to emigrate to lands west of the Mississippi River, to…
