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.
