Bernie Sanders-Native American Indians
I also went to the Sander's visit and was surprised by his brief mentioning of American Indians. I know that his campaign site had a whole section on how he planned to address American Indian standards of living (http://feelthebern.org/bernie-sanders-on-native-american-rights/) and I felt like this information could have easily been incorporated in his discussions about race, class, education and the criminal justice system. Moreover after doing some research, (http://www.indiancountrynews.com/index.php/news/politcs-business/2897-hillary-clintons-native-american-agenda) on Clinton's point of view it appears that many of her policies are similar to Bernie's. Although, I wish Bernie would have spoken more about American Indian issues, I feel

    Since the start of The United States of America the colonists and later Americans had to deal with the Natives that were rightfully there first. The federal government’s diplomacy approach with Native Americans during the time periods of 1790 to 1880 and 1880 to 1900 differ in a few ways. During the period of 1790 to 1880 the government participated it removals, treaties, reservations, and even war. In addition, the treaties and acts in this time period that the government approached with, usually ended in the U.S. taking the land of the Native Americans. During the time period of 1880 to 1900 the government’s approach to Native Americans was less involved and really only relied on a few moves to take the land of the Indians. One thing in common with the two time periods is the fact that the Native Americans were not treated fairly.…

    Another interesting tribe was the Shawnee. Linguistically Algonquian and known as the 'people from the south,' the Shawnee were tall and muscular, with coarse features and exceptionally prominent cheekbones. They were diligent cultivators of the soil until expulsion from Kentucky and North Carolina forced them to lead a wandering existence. Permitted by the Delaware and Iroquois to enter Pennsylvania, they settled on the flats below Philadelphia, in the forks of the Delaware as far north as the Minisink, and in the Wyoming Valley. Later they drifted westward to the Ohio Valley and engaged in the Indian wars of a later day.…

    The Revolutionary War became a turning point for Native Americans who were struggling to stop white settlers from invading their land. The war was fought for many different reasons, but among those, because the British were supporting Native Americans in their fight against American expansion. Because of this, most Native Americans who joined the fight, fought against the United States. The British had promised the Indians that if they won, the settlers invading their land would be stopped. As stated in the film "Appalachians," most American Indians, including the Cherokee, became divided. Most favored the British because in 1763, "the King had issued a proclamation that prohibited westward expansion." But because of this, the American Indians…

    Native Americans weren’t treated as well as you’d think even after the Civil War. Their land was still taken away. Their way of life was still frowned upon and discrimination was too real for many Native Americans. Going into World War I was hard for them because they still were not seen as citizens even in the 1900’s. They were not even allowed to be considered citizens if they weren’t up to the standards of being “civilized”.…

    The United states revolution impacted Native American in two distinct ways. The first one being in the displacement of Native Americans. After the Revolution colonists started to migrate to West intruding on Native land that was protected by the proclamation of 1763, this Westward movement created conflict among settlers and Natives. The second way the Revolution impacted Native Americans is the dispossession of land by colonists in upstate New York, Ohio river valley, and southern back country. Native tribes like the Cherokee ceded most of their land as a result of…

    Throughout history there has been the misconception that early Europeans were the first to settle in North America, however Native Americans had inhabited the land for hundreds, even thousands of years, long before it was conquered and settled. When Christopher Columbus first discovered the ‘New World’ he also found that land had around two million inhabitants. He thought he had uncovered a new route to the East, so he mistakenly called these people ‘Indians’. Within the next hundred years, Europeans were trying to settle in the Americas. Native American's relationship with the Colonists was far different than how it is portrayed in modern day history lessons, having been a quarrelsome one, filled with dispute and distrust but nonetheless despite…

    The collision occurred in 1492 on an island off of two large, vast continents. Millions of years ago, the northern portion of the continent was covered in thick sheets of ice. This provided the passageway for nomadic hunters from Asia to cross over from Siberia (Kennedy and Cohen 5). The descendants of these Native Americans were met with Christopher Columbus, who believed that he had reached the Indies. Columbus called these people “Indians” and the misnomer stuck (Kennedy and Cohen 14). Countless explorers delved further into the continent after Columbus, who made one of the greatest blunders in history. Although Columbus did not actually find a faster route to the Indies, he did spur Europeans from the Old World to venture westward into the New World (Kennedy and Cohen 14-20). The people of both worlds…

    In about the early 1800s, white settlers began to move west and they came to the Pacific Northwest, or what they called the Oregon Country. Native Americans and the white settlers had a lot of different ways of living. Some of these differences created conflicts between the two groups. I think that education, land ownership, and disease were the three main causes of their conflicts.…
