Who Was In The Wrong Short Story

In the Round Valley, Native Americans were more valuable to white settlers as living slaves than they were as merely dead bodies. This further complicates the Genocide narrative, as many white Californians were not seeking to exterminate Indians in the state, but enslave them. While it is true that many white settlers formed vigilante parties and searched for Indians to kill on the Frontier, their reasons can be traced back to retaliation for Native interference in their ranching operations surrounding the Nome Cult Farm. These Indian killing parties were most often seeking retribution for stolen cattle, and their actions were based in racist attitude. Indians were killed and driven off land only when they had interfered with white rancher success in the Round Valley. In all other instances, it was more profitable for whites to take the Indians as slaves rather than kill them. Even whites that were not interested in holding slaves themselves saw dollar signs over the heads of Native Children, and a large amount participated in the Indian Slave

In Red Earth, it is explained that the white settlers stole horses from the Kiowas and the Kiowas expected the whites to be punished. Lynn-Sherow gives an account of how the white settlers and Kiowa Indians were not treated equally but one better than the other. General Sheridan told the Indians that when white people commit crimes they are punished, so if the Indians commit crimes they will also be punished. That did not occur as it should have when an Indian came up to Sheridan and explained that there was a group of Utes, Osages, and some others that killed some of his warriors; Sheridan responded saying that he did not have anything to say about that matter. Lynn-Sherow also mentions that whites would dress up like Indians and steal from other whites and Mexicans so the blame can be placed on the neighboring

I think the white European authors believe that the Native tribes were both inferior and equal. I think this because in the book The North Carolina Experience 1.2 p. 14 it talks about how the Tomahittion sent 20 men out and the whites killed 10 and but the other 10 on irons. But, then in "A Well Shaped Clean Made People" from Discovering NC p. 102 it says that the Indians of North Carolina are well-shaped clean-made people, of different statuaries, are the Europeans are.

As a result of this, there were massive conflicts that spread throughout Kansas. Many of these conflicts resulted in deaths on both sides of the argument. This showed the growing division among the North and South, and that they were willing to fight for what they believed in. These conflicts even spread to members of Congress, and outbreaks broke out within arguments.

The ways of the white men, he proclaimed, were an evil that corrupted all they touched. Not only did the whites continue to take Indian lands, they had made the Indians dependent on the white world's tools and poisoned by its whiskey The Indian people were losing their identity. (Edmunds)

The students “believe that whites [are] not quite human” they walk like angry wolves and terrify them (Maracle, 173). The white men have made themselves powerful. In One, two, three little Indians, the Whites do not help the Native Americans no

From its birth, America was a place of inequality and privilege. Since Columbus 's arrival and up until present day, Native American tribes have been victim of white men 's persecution and tyranny. This was first expressed in the 1800’s, when Native Americans were driven off their land and forced to embark on the Trail of Tears, and again during the Western American- Indian War where white Americans massacred millions of Native Americans in hatred. Today, much of the Indian Territory that was once a refuge for Native Americans has since been taken over by white men, and the major tribes that once called these reservations home are all but gone. These events show the discrimination and oppression the Native Americans faced. They were, and continue to be, pushed onto reservations,

It held many struggles and disagreements, which lead to many retaliations, from both the Indians and the settlers. The Indians had been alliances with the white men until the massacre, which stated the settlers betrayal to all tribes.

Anglos saw the Indians as animalistic so they “made up a completely different category of people” (Almaguer 112). Some Indian women “tattooed their bodies, wore very scant clothing made of tule reed and deer skins, and pierced their noses and ears, while the men were either naked or wore short capes of woven rabbit skins and occasionally daubed themselves with mud to keep warm on cold days,” and it did not help reconstruct their image as civilized people (Almaguer 112). Another way Indians were described was as “monstrous heads, covered with a thick thatch of long black hair, and mounted on dwarfish bodies and distorted limbs, gave them a peculiarly inhuman and impish aspect” (Almaguer 112). The “white” men did not accept the way

This made the Indians rebel against the whites even more. The Indians was asked to move to an off reservation this resulted into violence. The years to come was called the Indian wars.

Understandably, American Indians soon began to distrust and resent their white oppressors. Simon Pokagon put it nicely in his speech The Red Man's Greeting :

Religious white people tried to force the Indians (by withholding food) to give up their religious beliefs and integrate into the white society (Kennedy &

Lastly, both groups were getting attacked because of the resources they possessed which the other group lacked. Firstly, the avatars and first nations lifestyle and traditions were not respected at all. When the Europeans made a treaty with the First Nations it was not written in the First Nations language which was Cayuga, Oneida and many more. The First Nations

White colonizers also tried to enslave the American Indians but with very poor results. Partly due to the fact that many Indians died from diseases brought by their captors.

Probably the most logical explanation is that there has been a conflict that is decades old, that comes from, religious differences to territorial and power ambitions. This war is a war that is not going to stop until both countries solve their internal affairs, because the historical background that this two countries have is not an easy one. I think that the only way to fully achieve peace between these two countries is, for them to come to an agreement regarding the territories, and another one to respect each other’s religions.
