Overall Statement/ Argument

vanessa1041 — 2015-12-10 17:24:26 UTC

Europeans settlers had a bigger impact on the lives of Native Americans by forcing them out of their land and trying to change their culture to make them more civilized, while the Native Americans didn't try to change the settlers, instead they just tried to keep their land and culture.

Helen Hunt Jackson: Reforming Indian Policy

vanessa1041 — 2015-12-11 17:14:21 UTC

In her book A Century of Dishonor Helen Hunt Jackson wants to get equality for Native Americans who are being treated differently because of who they are and have their rights be protected and their land as well and not have them be judged by who they are and what tribes they may come from and things that other tribes might have done because they are not all the same.

Primary Source

Christopher Columbus believed that Native Americans were easy to control and be made to do what they wanted to. He also believed that they could be taught their ways.

Explanation - Trail of Tears

vanessa1041 — 2015-12-11 17:21:19 UTC

The Trail of Tears helps in explaining why the European settlers had a bigger impact on the lives of the Native Americans. The Trail of Tears had many negative effects on the lives of the Cherokee tribe. They were forced to leave their lands that enriched their culture. Over one-third of the Cherokee on the trail died, leaving fewer to pass on their traditions. The reservations they and other natives were moved to caused them to be seen as a minority group among the growing American population.

Explanation- Dawes Act

vanessa1041 — 2015-12-11 17:21:31 UTC

The Dawes Act showed how they had control over how much land a person had an where they would have and if they would even get a piece of land

Trail of Tears

vanessa1041 — 2015-12-11 18:27:48 UTC

In this picture the Cherokee are shown to be suffering, some in the back are seen on the sides of the trail dying, dead, or helping those on the brink of death. They seem to be hopeless and confused as to what will become of them as they are already witnessing the cruelty they're going through.

This picture demonstrates how Native American were obligated to give to sale their lands. It affected them mentality because some of this places were holy for them. This caused for natives to not practice their believes anymore.
