Hey everyone! I wanted to share with you my knowledges about native Americans! For two years I read a book in class, called " The absolutely true diary of a part time Indian". It has been written by Markus Zusak who was the main character of his, as he were a child : it's a true story. What about the plot? A young Native American comes from a little ghetto full of other native Americans, but he has the particularity to be extremely clever. That's why his teachers cheer him up after he had been bullied because of his many physical anomalies, and push him to try enter in a "white" private school. He succeeds entered there but is victim of clichés. In class, we also studied native Americans through debates and short home made videos. Native Americans usually are victim of sectarianism whereas they represent an important part of the population in the USA. They are stuck in reserves without any running water or proper house. Without talking about access to education ! They took part of the country's story and should have a proper place in the population !
First of all, I wanted to say that I never learned anything at school about Native Americans. We only saw them through Christopher Colombus' discovery. I think it is a shame because I now realise there is so much populations around the world whose origins I do not know very well. Furthermore, the vision that is shown in movies or cartoons might be a stereotype.
But I do know that the native american people suffered a lot, and were deported.
To put it all in a nutshell, even if we are taught some things about the native american's history, we do not know anything about their culture.
I know that in november 28th 1989, National Museum of the American Indian Act was enacted as Public Law. The law etablished the National Museum of the American Indian as part of the Smithsonian Institution. It is committed to advancing kowledge and understanding of the native cultures of the western hemisphere.
In class we had to make a presentation on Native Americans and I worked on 29th December 1890. There was a horrible massacre in Wounded Knee, South Dakota during the one the US Army killed around three hundred Lakota Indians for nothing on their own Reservation. Indians were disarmed the day before and were also surrounded by five hundred american soldiers. I also learned that America decided to terminate its contract with Lakota Indians by cutting the Great Sioux Reservation, with the intention of separate the Indian tribes in Februar 1890. This contract was established in Fort Laramie, Wyoming in 1868 and was supposed to help and protect Lakota tribes, but was always breached by White people.
Fortunately, there are now laws which protect and recognize Native Americans.
Hi everyone! First of all, I've never studied at school the native Americans like Coline. However, I know that they helped several times English's population ( the first one who came from Britain after Colombus, the first colony ) giving them food, they've taught them how to feed themselves by their own, etc... that's why Thanksgiving exists. Indeed, it's the most important celebration in the United States because of this period. Moreover, native Americans were in America a long time ago, scientists think they were there at the same time as our ancestors in Europe. to sum up, I wish I could know some informations about them despite I've never learnt something about them except the informations I wrote ( because of tv and books ).

Hi everyone, It's actually the first time i write on this blog and i wanted to answer Hadil's question. So in my english classe i did a presentation on the 11th of march 1824 and that's what i found : it was the creation of the bureau of the indian affairs. At that time It was made in order to liberate the indian lands for their exploitation by the colonists and it provided them health care. The bureau of Indian affairs, also known as the BIA, is one of the two bureaus under the jurisdiction of the Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs. Today this bureau is located in Washington D.C and the current director is Michael S. Black. I think it's a good idea to talk about the american natives because it brings us a lot of culture and knowledge.
- As for me, I remember my lesson about Native Americans and it interested me a lot. In fact Native Americans are the people who were in North America, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean Islands when Europeans arrived. Christopher Columbus was travelling west, so he thought he was going to India. This is why he called people “Indians”. - Moreover at that time some 10 million indians lived in the area that would become the United States. Then, these migrants and their descendants pushed south and east, adapting as they went. Finally, like Lena said this gave rise to the celebration "Thanksgiving" to remember when English people gave food to Native Americans.
About November 28th 1989, The National Museum of the American Indian Act is passed, which requires the return of Native American human remains and funerary objects from the Smithsonian and the creation of a national advisory committe. Jeanne.S 1S5
hello everyone, As for me, I have learned some things about Native Americans in class, every year, when it comes to Thanksgiving, with the Pilgrims who came on the Mayflower and they helped each others and they ate all together during about 3 days and it was, in my memory (but I've checked on internet the exactly period) in 1621, so, about one century after Christopher Columbus came to colonize the America in 1492. To go further, just for the know, he didn't want to reach India, he wanted to reach Japan.
Hello, I want to talk you about the 26th june 1876. This day was the battle of the little Bighorn. The general Custer led more than 700 units. It was an armed engagement between Lakota and Cheyenne. This day, the victory was agree to Indians. More than 700 Americanss soldier died this day. This battle was one of most decisive Native American victory.
In the U.S.A, Native American are people who belong to one of the over 500 distinct Native American tribes that survive intact today as partially sovereign nation within the country's modern boundaries. These tribes and bands are descended from the pre-Columbian indegenious population of North American. Native American are also called Indians. In nowdays I know that about 5 millions Native American live on tribel bands. It means that they always live on réservations. Living conditions are not satisfied. Because of scarcity of jobs and lack of economic opportunity a lot of adults on reservations are unemplyed. Among American Indians who are employed, many are earning below poverty wages. Indeed, there is housing crisis in Indian country. Despite the indian Housing Authority's recent efforts, the need for adequate housing on réservations remains acute. In addition, many American Indians are living in substandard housing. About half of reservation housing is considered inadequate. The question of health is also bad. Pharmacies and doctor's offices outside of hospitals are completely non-existent in some communoties and Indians suffor from heart disease, diabetes, tuberculosis, cancer. I think that they took part of the country's story and should have their own place in the population !
Hi, The native americans are the first people probably arrived in Alaska from Asia 16 000 years ago ,around that time. They travelled South and became the Native americans of north America and The Maya , Aztecs, Inca and other people of central and South America . Now there are only a few of these people in America T today.
Hi ! First of all, like Lena and Colline said, we never studied Native Americans at school, that's why we don't really know them. However, this summer I went to America and I had the opportunity to talk with a Native American. Indeed, I visited Antelope Canyon, one of the amazing national parks in the USA which is managed by Native Americans and some of them still live there ! We could learn that the Native Americans have a real respect for the animals and the nature. Indeed, they don't want to destroy or to pollute so they product just what they need. Then, a woman who lived there told us that a lot of people (mostly european people) call them the « Indians » because when Christopher Colombus discoverded America, in fact he wanted to go to India. But, the native Americans really don't like when we call them the « Indians » : they are two different populations and cultures. Finally, she told us that the Native Americans suffered a lot during the past years and now some people still thinks that they are not as developed as the other americans. However, that is not the case. To put all in a nutshell, Native Americans are an interesting population although we don't know well their culture.

Hello, About November 28th 1989 I’ve learned that the président George Bush signs legislations to etablish the National Museum of the Américain Indian. Moreover Native American are Indians. What’s more the first voyage to the unknown lands was organized by Christopher Columbus. I like to talk about Native Américain because I think it’s good to learn the story and the culture of Indians.

Hi everyone! Firstly, I don’t know much about native Americans since, like many people, I have only studied this subject threw Thanksgiving. I know that the Native Americans lived in peace and prosper until Christopher Columbus and the Europeans first arrived on the shores of North America in 1492. At that time, horses and other animals were brought over, which began to spread diseases among the natives who had no immunity to these new diseases. Unfortunately this lead to thousands of deaths. In addition, the Europeans began to take over the land and set up farms and homes there and they also started persecuting the Natives. All in all, as soon as the Europeans arrived in America, the Native Americans’ culture slowly started to deteriorate which I think is quite upsetting since the Natives helped the Europeans survive by giving them food and shelters.
Hello ! Here are a few things that I learnt about native Americans: I know that on the 16th of November 1990, a law named "The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act" (NAGPRA) was proclaimed. The goal of this law is to give back Native American possesions to their descendants, and also cultural items like sacred objects or funeral objects. Lots of archeologists accused the law for not letting them search about tje first residents of the United States, however the law was still proclaimed
Hello everyone, In my english class i did a presentation about the Battle of the Little Bighorn on 25th june 1876. It was an american General George Armstrong Custer against a band of Lakota Sioux and Cheyenne.Tensions between the two groups rose because of seeking of gold on Native American lands. Custer wanted to destroy a new Indian camp but he fell in an ambush tightened by two thousand Sioux warriors at the orders of Sitting Bull. Two hundred and eighty-five men of cavalry were killed near river of Little Bighorn in the Montana. This Battle was the most decisive defeat for the Us Army during the whole of the Indian wars. Finally, I appreciate to learn the lesson about Native Americans because it was interesting to discover another culture.

Hello, I know things about natives americans in the year 1990. Indeed, this year, a law was passed. This law requiere that the estates who belong at the Indians where return to them. The law concerns culturals estates, human rests and funeral and sacred objects. I agree with this law because it allow the Indians keep their heritage. I like to talk about natives americans because we can learn lots of things about other peoples.
Hi everybody, As everyone i want to speak and share with you what I learnt during my lesson on Native Americans.
I did a presentation, in my class, on the 10th of March 2017. After my research, I found that on this day, the Indian Nation of all the USA walked in Washington DC to show their disagreement against the Dakota Pipeline Access. The North Dakota's pipeline (canalisation for long-distance transport of fluids) is a problem because this construction site goes through an Indian reserve, sacred lands, and threatens the environment because of the pollution it will cause.
I was suprised to learn that today, the Native Americans Culture is threatened and in danger.
Hi everyone, As far as I'm concerned, I don't know much about Native Americans but I still remember that they are people who first settled in australia. Some people call them Indians because when Christopher Columbus discovered America, he thought he had sailed to the country of India and called people the Indians. Moreover, there were different tribes with their own culture living in different areas. As a matter of fact, each tribe had a particular religion, language and customs. For example, there were the Cherokee and the Navajo. Furthermore, these tribes were rather peaceful before the arrival of Christopher Columbus and the Europeans. To conclude, I would be very interesting to learn more about Native Americans. Emilie D. TS2
Hi everyone ! First of all I would like to point out that we did not study Natives at school so we can't reall has like precise dates or anything like that. Never the less I know that when colons arrived in North America, Natives gave them food to eat, which is now the typical Thanksgiving meal. And colons thanked them by stealing their properties and using them as slaves. Rude...
Hello everyone! I want to share what I know about Native Americans From november, 1969 to june 1971, a group called indians of all tribes occupied alcatraz island. they were protesting against the united states. They decided to occupy the island to claim "the right of the discovery". Since the fire of october 28th, 1969 which ravaged the American center of San Francisco, the amerindians of the region didn't have a place where to organize meetings. That's why, they wished to build on the island a new cultural center. this occupation is recognized to be one of the most important events in the history of the American Indians to maintain their traditional cultures. I hope that the informations can help you to know more about the Native Americans. Sarah H 1S5
Hello ! I would like to talk about Native Americans because I have learnt a lot of things about them these days. On April 24th 1830 the Indian Removal Act is written and signed by the president Andrew Jackson. This law allowed the president to negociate with Indians tribs to make them move on the weast of Mississipi. That's why Indians protested against this law. Altough they had protested they were deported. It was a genocide and many of them died on the "Trail of Tears". Susie 1es1
I would like to share with you what I know about Native Americans.
First of all, in my class, I did a presentation on the 9th of Novembrer 2017. On that day, an apology to Native people of the US was included in the defense appropriations act. It states that the US apologizes on behalf of the people of the US to all Native People for many instances of violence, maltreatment, and neglect inflicted on Native People by US Citizens. Therefore, the President Obama promised to forge a new relationship between federal government and Tribal leaders. Finally, He told to representatives of 386 Tribes "You deserve to have a voice" at a White House Tribal Nation conference.
I will talk about the Congress granted citizenship to the Amerindians on June 2, 1924. Until 1924, Amerindians were not accepted as citizens of the United States. There were many Amerindians who had nations within the United States. But on June 2,1964 Congress granted citizenship to the Amerindians who were born in the United States, even after this law there were some who did not have the right to vote governed by the state. Sheila, 1ES1
Hi! Speaking for me, I didn't know much has about the natives americain except the Little Big Horn battle that I studied the years before. We speak about them with my english class and I make research,asked by my professor, focused on November 1969. I learnt that the natives occupated the Alcatraz island ,who was a former prison in California, to protest against their miserable living conditions. It takes places in the context of the rise of Red Power movement and the organization of the American Indian Movement based in 1968 in Minneapolis. They dwelt the island during nineteen months, of the 20 November 1969 to the 11 June 1971. But unfortunately, they were expelled by the federal government.
Two years ago, I studied Native Americans, they are Indians of America. I remembre that in "seconde", we learnt that they migrated their from Siberia thanks the Bering Land Bridge 11 000 years ago. They lived in peace until the 15th century when Europeans first arrived on the shores of North America with horses. The Natives were terrified by the horses they had never seen before. The colonists were without pity and fought them. Today, Natives represent 1.5 percent of the United States population and they live in reservations.
I will talk about events in relations with Native Americans in 1990. First, the film "Dances with wolves" made by Kevin Costner was realised. It deals with indians and their relations with white americans. It defend the cause of indians against North American army during the American Civil War. Moreover, in Canada, in a city called Oka, the gouvernment sent the army to control a crisis with the Mohawks, an indian tribe. The reason was that the indians refused to leave their area where the city wanted to put a golf. This event created lots of tensions and a lot of riots. Finally, some descendants of the Native Americans obtained November 23rd a Law for the protection and the return of Amerindians' graves. Thanks for reading, Théo P., 1eS5
Hello everybody, today I would want to share with you what I learnt on the Native Americans.
The December 8 2009, a important lawsuit was held. In fact, the Federal Government proposed to agree $3,4 billions to settle a long-running lawsuit with Natives Americans tribes that claim there were cheated out of billions of dollars in royalties for oil,gas,grazing and other leases have been held in trust and overseen by the Interior Department since 1887. After a long debat, the Interior Department would distribute $1,4 billions to more than 300 000 Natives Americans tribes members to compensate them for historical accounting due and to resolve future claims. Then, the government also would give $2 billions to buy back and consolidate tribals lands which were destroyed, damaged. Finally, this program was an important step to reconcile the Indians tribes and the federal government.
Hello everybody, I wanted to talk about the Natives Americans. In 1989, the federation recognized the Indian tribes. After a 2 years of fraud and missmanagment in agencies with over-seen Indian programs special senate investigate committee recommended the abandon of this agencies. It's a lesson that interest me because I like to know the story of another culture. bye

Hi everybody, As everyone i want to speak and share with you what I learnt during my lesson on Native Americans.
I did a presentation, in my class, on the 19th of December 2007. During this date the Sioux Indians declared to have broken treaties signed with the United States. In fact, during a press conference in Washington, Russell Means, representative of the Sioux Indians declared in the name of all the Sioux Indians didn't want to be citizens of the United States and try to be joined by the Sioux Indians who live in the five states (Lakota country includes parts of the states of Nebraska, South & North Dakota, Montana and Wyoming). For that, he specifies that passports and driving licences will be distributed to all those who give up their American nationality. They also assert have the right to be free and independant. Moreover, the Lakota freedom activists considered that treaties signed with the U.S was worthless words on worthless paper. Futhermore,they consider that these treaties served for stealling their culture, them customs and them lands. Finally, the Sioux Indians are now free of them actions and free to make what they want in theire lands.
Hi! People lived in the United States long before the arrival of Christopher Columbus and the Europeans. These people and cultures are called Native Americans. The Native Americans were grouped into tribes or nations usually based on the area they lived in and their culture such as their religion, customs, and language. We also know Native Americans as American Indians. This is because when Columbus had first landed in America, he thought he had sailed all the way to to the country of India.Today, some of the descendants of the original American Indians live on réservations and help to protect their heritage and culture.
Hello ! I would like to summarize the evolution of Native Americans.
Native Americans were persons who was there before Christopher Columbus arrived in Bahamas, in America, in 1492. They formed tribes, that sometimes made war. After the "discover of America", they were hunted, hurted, injured and killed. They just have retreated to save their lives from the East to the West. White people tracked them to take their lands. After centuries of massacre, they finally are declared citizens of the United States, in 1969. Nowadays, some tribes still exist and other Native American Indians have been integrate into the society. Benjamin 1S5
Hello Everyone, I Want to speak about what i know on Native Americans. In 2009, an "apology to native people of the united states" was included in the defense appropriations act. It says that "apologizes on behalf of the people of the united states to all Native peoples for the many instances of violence, maltreatment and neglet inflicted on Native people by citizens of the united states. In my opinion, I think that is a good thing, because it permits to calm the situation between Native Nation, and the USA.
The Native Americans are the first inhabitants of the American continent. In 1492, the explorer Christopher Columbus thinks he found the East Indies but land in America. Because of this error, the people of the “New World” will be called “Indians”. The Europeans will first call them “savages” who will eventually become “Indians of America” to distinguish them from the people of India. The arrival of the Europeans caused important consequences: the number of inhabitants will decrease because of wars and diseases, their way of life and their culture will undergo mutations and their economic and demographic situation will deteriorate… Today, the percentage of remaining tribes is very low and are endangered!

Hi everyone!
ReplyDeleteFirstly, I don’t know much about native Americans since, like many people, I have only studied this subject threw Thanksgiving.
I know that the Native Americans lived in peace and prosper until Christopher Columbus and the Europeans first arrived on the shores of North America in 1492. At that time, horses and other animals were brought over, which began to spread diseases among the natives who had no immunity to these new diseases. Unfortunately this lead to thousands of deaths.
In addition, the Europeans began to take over the land and set up farms and homes there and they also started persecuting the Natives.
All in all, as soon as the Europeans arrived in America, the Native Americans’ culture slowly started to deteriorate which I think is quite upsetting since the Natives helped the Europeans survive by giving them food and shelters.

Hello ! Here are a few things that I learnt about native Americans:
ReplyDeleteI know that on the 16th of November 1990, a law named "The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act" (NAGPRA) was proclaimed. The goal of this law is to give back Native American possesions to their descendants, and also cultural items like sacred objects or funeral objects. Lots of archeologists accused the law for not letting them search about tje first residents of the United States, however the law was still proclaimed

Hello everyone,
ReplyDeleteIn my english class i did a presentation about the Battle of the Little Bighorn on 25th june 1876.
It was an american General George Armstrong Custer against a band of Lakota Sioux and Cheyenne.Tensions between the two groups rose because of seeking of gold on Native American lands. Custer wanted to destroy a new Indian camp but he fell in an ambush tightened by two thousand Sioux warriors at the orders of Sitting Bull. Two hundred and eighty-five men of cavalry were killed near river of Little Bighorn in the Montana. This Battle was the most decisive defeat for the Us Army during the whole of the Indian wars.
Finally, I appreciate to learn the lesson about Native Americans because it was interesting to discover another culture.

Hi everybody,
ReplyDeleteAs everyone i want to speak and share with you what I learnt during my lesson on Native Americans.
I did a presentation, in my class, on the 10th of March 2017. After my research, I found that on this day, the Indian Nation of all the USA walked in Washington DC to show their disagreement against the Dakota Pipeline Access.
The North Dakota's pipeline (canalisation for long-distance transport of fluids) is a problem because this construction site goes through an Indian reserve, sacred lands, and threatens the environment because of the pollution it will cause.
I was suprised to learn that today, the Native Americans Culture is threatened and in danger.

Hi everyone,
ReplyDeleteAs far as I'm concerned, I don't know much about Native Americans but I still remember that they are people who first settled in australia. Some people call them Indians because when Christopher Columbus discovered America, he thought he had sailed to the country of India and called people the Indians.
Moreover, there were different tribes with their own culture living in different areas. As a matter of fact, each tribe had a particular religion, language and customs. For example, there were the Cherokee and the Navajo.
Furthermore, these tribes were rather peaceful before the arrival of Christopher Columbus and the Europeans.
To conclude, I would be very interesting to learn more about Native Americans.

Hi everyone !
ReplyDeleteFirst of all I would like to point out that we did not study Natives at school so we can't reall has like precise dates or anything like that. Never the less I know that when colons arrived in North America, Natives gave them food to eat, which is now the typical Thanksgiving meal. And colons thanked them by stealing their properties and using them as slaves. Rude...

Hello everyone!
ReplyDeleteI want to share what I know about Native Americans
From november, 1969 to june 1971, a group called indians of all tribes occupied alcatraz island. they were protesting against the united states. They decided to occupy the island to claim "the right of the discovery". Since the fire of october 28th, 1969 which ravaged the American center of San Francisco, the amerindians of the region didn't have a place where to organize meetings. That's why, they wished to build on the island a new cultural center. this occupation is recognized to be one of the most important events in the history of the American Indians to maintain their traditional cultures.
I hope that the informations can help you to know more about the Native Americans.

Hello ! I would like to talk about Native Americans because I have learnt a lot of things about them these days. On April 24th 1830 the Indian Removal Act is written and signed by the president Andrew Jackson. This law allowed the president to negociate with Indians tribs to make them move on the weast of Mississipi. That's why Indians protested against this law. Altough they had protested they were deported. It was a genocide and many of them died on the "Trail of Tears". Susie 1es1
ReplyDeleteHello everybody,
ReplyDeleteI would like to share with you what I know about Native Americans.
First of all, in my class, I did a presentation on the 9th of Novembrer 2017. On that day, an apology to Native people of the US was included in the defense appropriations act. It states that the US apologizes on behalf of the people of the US to all Native People for many instances of violence, maltreatment, and neglect inflicted on Native People by US Citizens.
Therefore, the President Obama promised to forge a new relationship between federal government and Tribal leaders.
Finally, He told to representatives of 386 Tribes "You deserve to have a voice" at a White House Tribal Nation conference.

I will talk about the Congress granted citizenship to the Amerindians on June 2, 1924.
ReplyDeleteUntil 1924, Amerindians were not accepted as citizens of the United States. There were many Amerindians who had nations within the United States. But on June 2,1964 Congress granted citizenship to the Amerindians who were born in the United States, even after this law there were some who did not have the right to vote governed by the state.

Hi!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking for me, I didn't know much has about the natives americain except the Little Big Horn battle that I studied the years before. We speak about them with my english class and I make research,asked by my professor, focused on November 1969. I learnt that the natives occupated the Alcatraz island ,who was a former prison in California, to protest against their miserable living conditions. It takes places in the context of the rise of Red Power movement and the organization of the American Indian Movement based in 1968 in Minneapolis. They dwelt the island during nineteen months, of the 20 November 1969 to the 11 June 1971. But unfortunately, they were expelled by the federal government.

Two years ago, I studied Native Americans, they are Indians of America.
ReplyDeleteI remembre that in "seconde", we learnt that they migrated their from Siberia thanks the Bering Land Bridge 11 000 years ago.
They lived in peace until the 15th century when Europeans first arrived on the shores of North America with horses.
The Natives were terrified by the horses they had never seen before.
The colonists were without pity and fought them.
Today, Natives represent 1.5 percent of the United States population and they live in reservations.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI will talk about events in relations with Native Americans in 1990.
First, the film "Dances with wolves" made by Kevin Costner was realised. It deals with indians and their relations with white americans. It defend the cause of indians against North American army during the American Civil War.
Moreover, in Canada, in a city called Oka, the gouvernment sent the army to control a crisis with the Mohawks, an indian tribe. The reason was that the indians refused to leave their area where the city wanted to put a golf. This event created lots of tensions and a lot of riots.
Finally, some descendants of the Native Americans obtained November 23rd a Law for the protection and the return of Amerindians' graves.

Hello everybody, today I would want to share with you what I learnt on the Native Americans.
ReplyDeleteThe December 8 2009, a important lawsuit was held. In fact, the Federal Government proposed to agree $3,4 billions to settle a long-running lawsuit with Natives Americans tribes that claim there were cheated out of billions of dollars in royalties for oil,gas,grazing and other leases have been held in trust and overseen by the Interior Department since 1887. After a long debat, the Interior Department would distribute $1,4 billions to more than 300 000 Natives Americans tribes members to compensate them for historical accounting due and to resolve future claims. Then, the government also would give $2 billions to buy back and consolidate tribals lands which were destroyed, damaged. Finally, this program was an important step to reconcile the Indians tribes and the federal government.

Hi everybody,
ReplyDeleteAs everyone i want to speak and share with you what I learnt during my lesson on Native Americans.
I did a presentation, in my class, on the 19th of December 2007.
During this date the Sioux Indians declared to have broken treaties signed with the United States. In fact, during a press conference in Washington, Russell Means, representative of the Sioux Indians declared in the name of all the Sioux Indians didn't want to be citizens of the United States and try to be joined by the Sioux Indians who live in the five states (Lakota country includes parts of the states of Nebraska, South & North Dakota, Montana and Wyoming). For that, he specifies that passports and driving licences will be distributed to all those who give up their American nationality. They also assert have the right to be free and independant. Moreover, the Lakota freedom activists considered that treaties signed with the U.S was worthless words on worthless paper. Futhermore,they consider that these treaties served for stealling their culture, them customs and them lands. Finally, the Sioux Indians are now free of them actions and free to make what they want in theire lands.

Hi!
ReplyDeletePeople lived in the United States long before the arrival of Christopher Columbus and the Europeans. These people and cultures are called Native Americans.
The Native Americans were grouped into tribes or nations usually based on the area they lived in and their culture such as their religion, customs, and language.
We also know Native Americans as American Indians. This is because when Columbus had first landed in America, he thought he had sailed all the way to to the country of India.Today, some of the descendants of the original American Indians live on réservations and help to protect their heritage and culture.

Hello !
ReplyDeleteI would like to summarize the evolution of Native Americans.
Native Americans were persons who was there before Christopher Columbus arrived in Bahamas, in America, in 1492. They formed tribes, that sometimes made war. After the "discover of America", they were hunted, hurted, injured and killed. They just have retreated to save their lives from the East to the West. White people tracked them to take their lands. After centuries of massacre, they finally are declared citizens of the United States, in 1969. Nowadays, some tribes still exist and other Native American Indians have been integrate into the society.

Hello Everyone,
ReplyDeleteI Want to speak about what i know on Native Americans.
In 2009, an "apology to native people of the united states" was included in the defense appropriations act.
It says that "apologizes on behalf of the people of the united states to all Native peoples for the many instances of violence, maltreatment and neglet inflicted on Native people by citizens of the united states.
In my opinion, I think that is a good thing, because it permits to calm the situation between Native Nation, and the USA.
Jacinth,1èreES3
The Native Americans are the first inhabitants of the American continent. In 1492, the explorer Christopher Columbus thinks he found the East Indies but land in America. Because of this error, the people of the “New World” will be called “Indians”.
ReplyDeleteThe Europeans will first call them “savages” who will eventually become “Indians of America” to distinguish them from the people of India.
The arrival of the Europeans caused important consequences: the number of inhabitants will decrease because of wars and diseases, their way of life and their culture will undergo mutations and their economic and demographic situation will deteriorate…
Today, the percentage of remaining tribes is very low and are endangered!
