Native American Ghost Dance Analysis
After reading this document, it helped me understand how Native Americans were passion about their land and wanted peace. In addition, the ghost dance seems a horror scene if you imaged during the reading. Moreover, the other fact that stood out to me was how Native Americans were united in all situations.
I really don’t want to discuss ghost dance in the class because ghost dance will led our conversation to Native Americans torture and other facts. In fact, we all know by now who to blame for the violence.

    Laguna Pueblo Reservation Summary

    As we learned in class, the Pueblo Indians is a specific group of Native Americans found in central New Mexico to northeastern Arizona. The Laguna Pueblo Reservation in found between Albuquerque and Los Alamos, New Mexico. The conflicts between the Pueblos and the whites began in the sixteenth century, when the Spanish decided to settle within the area of the Pueblos. After the Mexican-American war, the United States took control of the area surrounding the reservation. From there, the United States government implemented a “Reservation system, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and government-run schools for Native Americans.” (Native Americans of Southwest: 1). The use of storytelling is used in traditional Native American culture and is portrayed throughout the novel. The author uses the main character, Tayo, to intertwine the stories told by Native Americans into the life that in portrayed in the novel. Ceremony was created to help spread the word about the importance of preserving the Native American culture, and creating an awareness of the cultural hybridity between the Native American traditions and the whites.…

    The 'Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus'

    When in reality it was the Spaniards who were the true savages for treating Native Americans as an evil creature due to their religious views. It was sad to read about how Indians families were torn apart and many choose not to have kids because of this. I was disgusted by how the Spaniards would cut off native women’s breasts and throw their infants to a pack of dogs. The teachings of Popes prepared the ground for the mass Genocide of Native Americans because they taught genocide because anyone who would go against their God would be killed. There are many major statements in this book. One of which is the statement that history books have incorrect information on the conquest of the Americas by the Spaniards. This is important to understand because it shows how young students are being taught wrong information as well as being taught to think that Native Americans are horrible people when the reality was that they were the victims in the situation. Another important statement addressed in the book was how it explained the mistreatment of Native American by the…

    Trudell Documentary Analysis

    The Trudell Documentary taught me a lot about Native American’s that I didn’t know. Growing up, in history class, one of my teachers made a point to state that what America did to the Native American’s was wrong. We then learned all about how we took their land and made them change their lives. Although it is important to know the historical backgrounds to these events, we never really talked much about how the Government was treating Native Americans now.…

    Oppression in Cuckoos Nest

    Oppression is an omnipresent force which has fed on ignorance and hatred and affected the lives of the less fortunate and powerless. Through literature people are able to express their feelings and attitudes regarding an amalgam of elements. An example of this exists in the two texts, “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” and “The Life Your Save May Be Your Own;” in both texts we see a clear correlation between the plot events in the stories and the events that took place in American History to oppress women and Native Americans. “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” and “The Life You Save May Be Your Own,” are similar due to the fact that they both metaphorically represent racism in the United States; it is clearly displayed through entrapment, subjugation of people, and prejudicial undertones used to limit the societal roles of those who face bigotry.…

    A Rhetorical Analysis Of Chief Seattle's 1854 Oration

    “Chief Seattle’s 1854 Oration” was very powerful. He elaborated in great details the difference between his people (Indians) and the Whites and how they can come together. He was a respectful tribal leader and a devoted ecologist. Throughout his speech, Chief Seattle emphasizes how passionate he was in regard to his ancestor’s land. “Every part of this earth is sacred to my people.” His use of diction, persuasive appeals of pathos, logos, figurative imagery, analogies and anecdotes help in his persuading the white man in a peaceful but emotional speech.…

    How History Shapes Our Lives

    With literature we can learn about events from the past in more debt. It helps us understand and analyze what they felt and went through. In the poem Georgia 1838 we can learn how the Cherokees were forced out of their lands and “When the Cherokees refused to leave the state set up a lottery to rid them of their lands” he also speaks about how they were “roust from their tables and beds” and “stripped of everything they owned”. The “Trail of Tears” was a time in the past when there were ten million Native Americans on this continent when the first non-Indians arrived. Over the course of 300 years, almost all of the Native American original population was either wiped out by disease, famine, or warfare imported by the whites. They had to walk for months, days and years in seek of a new home and along the way many died due to different diseases and infections. They faced many obstacles on this journey with “dark clouds massing thunder splitting lightning forking” (The Trail page 11). These works of art help us better understand what the Native Americans were facing when they were being forced off the land not only by others but by nature. As they walked many were wounded, sick, a few new born babies has joined, and old men were at the point of death. They had no protection, no medication and nothing to save them. In the poem the crossing he says “I felt ill and sensed that cholera has set in” a disease given to him by the people who came and intruded on…
