Four Mississippi Savages To France Analysis
An account of a voyage and of an arrival of four Mississippi Savages to France was translated by Mercure de France. This account, written by Ellis and Steen is significant because of the profound circumstances in which France and the rest of Europe were in during this time period. France’s strategy towards the Natives in North America, were much different from the strategies Spain and the English were employing. The French wanted to bring these Natives to their land to amaze them with beauty and to proclaim the power and greatness of their king. If I were one of the four Native American’s in France, I would have felt lost. Leaving your native land for months traveling to France would have been scary for them because the change of culture.

    Summary: The Micmac People

    In the late 1600’s, the Micmac peoples had established a relationship with the French settlers in the Gaspé peninsula. Chrestien LeClrecq was a missionary to this land for a period of time and had learned the language of the Micmac during his stay. In this compelling source of an interpreted conversation between a Micmac leader and some of the gentleman of Isle Percée, we can gather that the French people’s feeling of being more superior than the Micmac, did not match up with how the Micmac viewed the French. The accurate and unbiased translation of the speech given shows us the captivating and less heard opinion of the Micmac peoples.…

    Mille Lacs Indian Museum Book Review

    Beginning with the Mille Lacs Indian Museum Lonetree claims that the exhibitions “present a rich, ongoing history, but it does so in a manner that avoids challenging or difficult topics, specifically, the impact of colonization” (Lonetree 35). Lonetree also claims the avoidance of hard truths of colonization is often the case in museum interpretation of native history. For Mille Lacs, there was an attempt to portray the Native population in both a historical and contemporary context, but in the end the exhibition fell short from what Lonetree deemed an effective exhibition regarding…

    The French Role in Arkansas.

    The French including Marquette and Joliet, La Salle as well as De Tonti, had several roles in Arkansas from the 1600s to the 1780s. In 1673, Marquette and Joliet came down the Mississippi River and crossed over to the mouth of the Arkansas River. Their role in Arkansas during the 1600s was to find a route to the Orient countries, but they were not successful in finding the route. They found that the Mississippi River led down to the Gulf of Mexico. However, the two explorers did stop in an Indian village near what is present day Helena, Arkansas.…

    Imaging A Distant World Chapter Summary

    Chapter 5 discusses the relationship between Native Americans and Europeans and how they fought in imperial wars, engaged in international trade and began seeing the world in a racialized "red" versus "white" manner. Richter argues that for much of the eighteenth century Indian and Euro-American histories "moved along parallel paths. " The balance between parallel paths broke down when France left the continent in 1763 and the imperial contest between that country and Britain…

    Essays for the American Pageant, 14th Ed.

    It is important to point out that English settlers were a definite majority of those in North America during the entire eighteenth century. However, the proportion declined from about twenty to one in 1700 to only about three to one by 1775. So a good essay should point out that the significance of non-English groups was increasing. The next task is to select three groups from the list and describe the influence of each. Of the non-English settlers, the largest group consisted of Africans, most of whom were enslaved and forced to immigrate. The…

    French And Indian War Dbq Essay

    As more colonists from Britain began to settle in the colonies, more land was needed to accommodate the larger number of people. In the past, disputes with Indians have been caused by the colonists’ need for land, and its resources, which the Indians needed as well. The Indians would either peacefully move inland, or fight back violently. As King George wanted the Ohio River Valley that France occupied, he sent Washington and his troops to occupy the Ohio River region to claim his presence, thus the competition for the territory, which evolved into the French and Indian War. The French and Indian War was a turning point in American history, for the colonists and colonial affairs were strictly monitored unlike before, and treaties with Indians…

    Brébeuf's Narrative Of The Jesuit Relations

    The explorer narrative of The Jesuit Relations written by Jean de Brébeuf, shows the unique clash of two disparate cultures. Brébeuf’s narrative takes on a condescending tone toward his Huron hosts. It also shows a facetious approach the Jesuits had in their interaction with the Hurons in the contact zone. The narrative’s sole purpose serves to reaffirm the intended reader’s European superiority.…

    The Expedition Of Lewis And Clark

    “ We were also fortunate enough to engage in our service a Canadian Frenchman, who had been with the Chayenne Indians on the Black Mountains, and last summer descended thence by little Missouri.”(Clark) As we know, in American history, the expedition of Lewis and Clark was one of the things that sparked the world in the 1800’s. Although, Lewis and Clark was not alone. They had two special, important and determined individuals to go along with them on the expedition, which made it more of a success, even though it took longer than intended to, to get to their destination. Their names are Sacagawea and York. The success of the Lewis and Clark expedition was based on Sacagawea and York’s race, familiarity of the landscape, and their knowledge.…

    In the paintings of Benjamin West’s Penn’s Treaty with the Indians (1771–72) and Frère Luc’s France Bringing the Faith to the Indians of New France (c. 1675) they both showed an encounter between the Europeans and the native people.

    Jacques Marquette

    Taking five other men, Marquette and Jolliet departed on May 17, 1673 with the permission of the administrators of New France. Marquette’s goals were to find out if the Mississippi provided a link to Asia and to convert natives along the way. Jolliet on the other hand, was a fur trader and wanted to trade for furs in areas he had never been to before. The men took a type of boat called “canots du maiture” or “boats of the master” and also basic provisions such as dried beef, cornmeal, and little trinkets for the natives along the way. Along the way, Marquette dined and familiarized himself with the natives to gain trust for his preaching. Some of these tribes were the Illinois, Mascuten, Miami, and Kickapoo peoples. The Mississippi was harsh to the men: it threw horrid currents and drove deathly whirlpools at them. Rocks rammed against their canoes and sometimes…

    Native American Injustices

    Contrary to the story that European Americans have been all too willing to accept, European immigrants came to inhabited territory in North America. Native Americans were numerous and many dwelt in stable communities. They had cleared land on the eastern seaboard and cultivated extensively. Their nations had established territories which were vital to the hunting component of their economics. These facts were evident to European settlers--especially to those who escaped starvation by accepting as gifts the fruits of Native American agriculture.…
