Why Should The American Indian Get There Back
Should the indians get there land back for there right? this is why I think the indians should get there back. First reason is because Native Americans were here first. They gave up their land to us shouldn't we return the favor. The second reason is that The US Supreme Court agrees," the UN Investigator said. If the Black Hills were returned to the tribe, the Reservation would have natural resources, and a way to earn enough money to survive. My third reason is that All these things contribute to the health, economic, and family problems many American Indians experience daily. Still, American Indians have not really asked for reparations. Why? My first reason is that indians should get there back First reason is because Native Americans

    “If you sign this treaty, you’re not going to ever have to work or hunt again; we’ll take care of you.' Everything will be provided. Every year you’ll get so much money to buy your needs, your pots and pans, but we’ll also have food coming in every month, or once a year for you. The other alternative is: 'We’re going to drive you all the way to the Rocky Mountains where you’re going to starve to death and we’ll never have to worry about you again.” Those were exactly the conditions Indians have to agree with by signing the…

    The Sioux have staunchly maintained that the treaty ratified by the 1877 Act is void for several reasons, among which are the insufficient number of signatures, the coercive nature of the negotiations, and, most importantly, because the Black Hills were never for sale. Despite creating a Court of Claims to allow non-Indians to sue the federal government, claims by Indians were expressly barred until 1920. The Lakota’s appeal for monetary compensation, filed in 1923 and asserting that the seizure of the Black Hills constituted an illegal taking under the Fifth Amendment, represented the only legal avenue for any redress for the loss of their land, and for decades the Lakota pursued the claim despite the inadequacy of any monetary award (Lenane,…

    In “Move the Cherokee to Indian Territory” by Jack Andrews, it states, “We should also remember that these Indians have waged war on America since 1775.” This quote shows that the Americans and the Indians have been enemies since 1775. The article also says, “In 1776 the Cherokees ravaged American settlements in North and South Carolina, killing men, women and children. In many cases their victims were scalped alive and even burned at the stake.” This shows that the Americans are justified for the seeing the Indians as enemies because of the way that the Indians have treated them in the past. It would be madness to invite someone who had kidnapped and murdered a friend to stay at one’s home. The opposing side might argue that Americans have treated the Indians badly as well by cheating them during trading and breaking agreements. However, if the Indians were to move away to the Indian Territory, they would be free to govern themselves and would not have to deal with any or all Americans ever…

    There were some reasons why the Cherokees moved in the first place. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 justified because the Indians did things that are very uncalled for. They did things like, scalping men, women, and children alive. and They also burned them on stakes. Also the Cherokees agree to move because they signed a treaty that if they sign it they agreed to move. Plus when they move they get to receive five million dollars and they also get a lot of land. So the Cherokees agree to move and get land and five million dollars and the Americans don’t want to die.…

    Many families lost members along the way. Those who did survive were not in a good condition when they got to the “Indian Territory.” In addition to all of those problems, the Native Americans would have to relearn the land they are now forced to live in. Most of them, if not all, have lived in the same area for their whole life and knew the land very well. They also studied the habits of animals in the area to know the best situation for hunting. The Native Americans did not favor this action, but they were left with either moving to the new land, possibly dying along the way, or defying the demands of the white settlers and most likely being killed by them.…

    The Cherokee should be able to stay because the government said that the land belonged to them and their fathers before them. From the letter it said,“These governments perfectly understood our right to the land and our right of self-government.” and “Our fathers gave it to us as their children.” The Cherokee did not want to give up their land because they had owned the land for generations and the government knew this. The land belonged to them first and they have the right to stay there and not be forced to leave.…
