This act was passed because it was meant to take Native Americans homes and their land. 90+ million acres of tribal land was stolen from the natives. The land was used to bring into mainstream US culture. "The desired effect of the Dawes Act was to get Native Americans to farm and ranch like white homesteaders."]]> 2021-06-11 05:57:56 UTC https://padlet.com/1rwbayless/tvf5qzkbho70fhgy/wish/1600453840 1rwbayless https://padlet.com/1rwbayless/tvf5qzkbho70fhgy/wish/1600544992 On December 15, 1890, at 6 a.m. at the Standing Rock Indian Reservation in South Dakota, the well known Native American leader Sitting Bull is killed by the Indian Police.

"Granting citizenships to all Native Americans born in the territorial limits of the country." It gave the US born Indian Americans the right to vote in the US in some states, the act did not require states to do this, so it was up to the individual states to allow this or not, although after many decades later Native Americans could vote in any state for the USA. ]]> 2021-06-11 07:19:45 UTC https://padlet.com/1rwbayless/tvf5qzkbho70fhgy/wish/1600560170 1rwbayless https://padlet.com/1rwbayless/tvf5qzkbho70fhgy/wish/1600567706 On March 3, 1929 Charles Curtis serves as the first Native American vice president. He ran office with president Herbert Hoover in 1929 until 1933. "He and President Herbert Hoover didn't have a close relationship, and many Americans had the impression that Curtis didn't really have a role in the White House. This could of been because Hoover had to deal with the the stock market crash (or better knows as the famous "Great Depression"). Even if Curtis wasn't well known as the VP it was still a historic landmark and achievement for Indian Americans. ]]> 2021-06-11 07:25:03 UTC https://padlet.com/1rwbayless/tvf5qzkbho70fhgy/wish/1600567706 1rwbayless https://padlet.com/1rwbayless/tvf5qzkbho70fhgy/wish/1600576883 During WW2 in May of 1942, the Navajo soldiers started using an unbreakable code for the US armed forces. They created this code by using the Navajo native language but with Military phrases. At first it stared with 211 terms, but over the course of WW2 it stretched to 411 terms. It was a good language to communicate in between the American and Navajo soldier because the language was not well known to the public. Phillip Johnston was the person who brought up the idea of a code system using his native language. "Eventually hundreds of code talkers from multiple Native American tribes served in the U.S. marines during war". ]]> 2021-06-11 07:32:42 UTC https://padlet.com/1rwbayless/tvf5qzkbho70fhgy/wish/1600576883 1rwbayless https://padlet.com/1rwbayless/tvf5qzkbho70fhgy/wish/1600598127 On April 11, 1968 President Lyndon B. Johnson signed an act that protected tribal land from the Native Americans and also let them get basic human rights.

It started in San Francisco and ended at the White House in Washington DC. There were 2 routes (1 northern and 1 southern). Unfortunately the northern route got broken up by police in Ohio.
