Traveling into another blogss :))

icolon's blog was intresting since I learned that Native Americans were the first group of people to live in the United States. Also they were hunters, fishers, and farmers. Whites threatened Indians to give their land since they discovered that the land was full of minerals and gold. Indians had to move to reservation camps since Whites take their land.

In Gabriela's essay I learned that Whites wanted that the Native Amercians assimilate or become like them. They wanted them to change their names to a christian name and educated them in the good way so whites can be seen as good peolple. Whites described the Indians as less educated, savages and uncivilized people. Also they wanted them to become totally of their culture.

    

Nicolle's post of the Nartive Americans was very interesting since it haves a lot of deatilas of the Indians. I learned that Indians were obligated to beleive in the same beleifs as the Whites. Also I learned that the Ghost Dance was inspired by Wovoka. During the reservation camps Whites made Indians to suffer a lot of diseases and hunger. Whites gave Indians alcohol in a form of medicine to their needs. They made them addictive to alcohol and they died.

In Carol's essay I learned that in all the movies of hollywood and of Native Americans, Indians are view asa the bad peole, savages and uncivilized. Also I discovered that in the reservation camps Native Americans chiefs were not longer the leader since whites were the one's who had total control of them. Indians lived in very poor conditions in the reservation camps since they depend on the supplies of the Whites. 

Francisco's blog was very interesting since I leaned that white men and Indians used to get along in many ways they had their differences but they got along with that. Also that whay is shown in the movies is not the truth and is an exaggeration and is only to make rating. 

Wounded Knee!

         White people were unrespectful and take the land of the Native Americans. Indians were forced to sigh a treaty which if they refused they will go to war. Also if they accept the agreement Whites will pay them for the land with money.

         Whites threatened Indians to sign a treaty in which Indians will give their land for money. The reunion they made to discuss the agreement was called the council and others were in the reservation camps in which Indians live. Whites promised Indians for their land 160 acre per family. If Indians refused the treaty they will go to war and who won will stay with all the land.

         Indians had a religious dance called The Ghost Dance. This dance was a way to celebrate the return of god. Whites found out the ritual dance of the Indians and thought it was a way in which Native Americans will fight. Whites brought their troops and say to the Indians they had to give to them all their weapons and knifes. A deaf person didn't understand and whites thought he was challenging them and started to attack. Indians didn't have time to defend themselves and they all got killed. Their were approximately twenty-five whites killed, and two-hundred Native Americans.

         Whites in exchange for the land of the Indians the promised them money, 160 acre per family. The Native Americans never saw the money since the whites never paid them. Over the years it was found that whites committed fraud against the indians by not giving them their money, then whites try to pay them but they didn't accept it.

         Therefore, Indians passed trough a lot of bad things made by white people and troops. Whites never respect the land of the Native Americans and always try to take it from them. Indians were killed in 1876, know called Bury my heart at wounded knee.
