It impacted the Indians the most. The Indians were being controlled by the government. The Indians had their land taken from them and were forced to move to the Great Plains Reservation. The Indians lost their way of life. They tried very hard to keep their culture alive.
I must say that European and Native Americans lives were drastically changed. Although, the Indians suffered mistreatment from the Europeans due to the Europeans taking their land.
People lost the ability to dream and the government believed the rich would be able to dream again if they took the bone marrow of Indigenous people. They would hunt them down and violently attack them when they least expected it.
After the Civil War ended many people were in hope of finding land since population was increasing. Since the West was underdeveloped and uncivilized, many decided to expand the land. First the Louisiana Purchase increased the opportunity of expansion. Then industrialization and the Homestead Act also caused many companies encouraged to move West due to the low cost of land and that the transportation was provided through the railroads. In order to complete such goals, something had to be done with the Natives since it conflicted with their home area.
The Indian Removal Act. States are getting restless, in need of more land. Native Americans protest against them, arguing that it was their land. Treaties were the only thing they could hold on to. Infectious greed of the Americans grew stronger by the minute.
The Plain Indians rely on the government the government changed the way they lived from farming to hunting and a lot of them because more distinct from their community which brought individualism between the Plain Indians. The government actions towards the Plains Indians were conniving on how they brought about their mistreatment on them. The government worked hard in the 1800’s to eliminate the life of the Plains Indians. Their action was done openly and unashamedly, but some were done quietly and strategically. The government did a clever thing by starting treaties making the Plains Indians think that it was friendly, but actually it was an attempt to eliminate them and bring in the white settlers.
During the “Gilded Age” period of American history, development of the Trans-Mississippi west was crucial to fulfilling the American dream of manifest destiny and creating an identity which was distinctly American. Since the west is often associated with rugged pioneers and frontiersmen, there is an overarching idea of hardy American individualism. However, although these settlers were brave and helped to make America into what it is today, they heavily relied on federal support. It would not have been possible for white Americans to settle the Trans-Mississippi west without the US government removing Native Americans from their lands and placing them on reservations, offering land grants and incentives for people to move out west, and the
Death is extremely important in the Apache tribe. Apaches never call their dead relatives by their names. Instead they called them “that girl” or “that boy,” “that woman” or “that man”. The Apache feared the dead and everything connected with them. They usually buried the dead the same day they died in order to avoid any contact with them.
Political, social, and economical structures were everywhere (Olson & Beal p.194). Being forced from their lands and coerced onto reservations where the Native Americans were under the constant control of whites had to play a huge role in the loss of their cultural identity. They almost had to accept the lesser roles in order to survive. However, in doing so they lost their independence, as well as their sense of personal
Native American Indians was discriminated just like other nonwhites, the New Deal relief program by the Government did not benefit them as well. American Indians were the victim of violence their land was stolen from them many was killed the surviving Native Americans were denied equality before the law and often treated as wards of the state, and placed in reservations and force to learn Americans traditions and values. Their tribal land was lost to government sales. It was not until the 1930s laws stop America from forcing American Indians to practice their culture. The law gave tribes increasing tribal economic and political
When the Europeans began colonizing the New World, they had a problematic relationship with the Native Americans. The Europeans sought to control a land that the Natives inhabited all their lives. They came and decided to take whatever they wanted regardless of how it affected the Native Americans. They legislated several laws, such as the Indian Removal Act, to establish their authority. The Indian Removal Act had a negative impact on the Native Americans because they were driven away from their ancestral homes, forced to adopt a different lifestyle, and their journey westwards caused the deaths of many Native Americans.
They were forced to leave their homes to move somewhere they did not know about. Also how badly they were treated and the war against one another unlike the Jews the Native Americans were not put in death camps but they were placed somewhere they had no idea about that area so in rebellion of not accepting this forced change the Native Americans decided to fight back against the Americans to get their ways and land back to the way it was before. During the war against Americans the Native Americans did lose a lot of lived like mother’s, children, men, women, people just in general who had loved one same as the
Throughout the 19th century Native Americans were treated far less than respectful by the United States’ government. This was the time when the United States wanted to expand and grow rapidly as a land, and to achieve this goal, the Native Americans were “pushed” westward. It was a memorable and tricky time in the Natives’ history, and the US government made many treatments with the Native Americans, making big changes on the Indian nation. Native Americans wanted to live peacefully with the white men, but the result of treatments and agreements was not quite peaceful. This precedent of mistreatment of minorities began with Andrew Jackson’s indian removal policies to the tribes of Oklahoma (specifically the Cherokee indians) in 1829 because of the lack of respect given to the indians during the removal laws.
They are not happy and content with what the tribes have done for them. They want to take and take until the Indians have nothing
What happened is that formed independent tribes were destroyed and they were forced to work for the state to maintain the lifestyle present at the
