In the year 1803, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, alongside 31 other people, set out to find the source of the Mississippi and “discover” the land that they had bought from the French-- Louisiana. This expedition was by the command, and in the name of, President Thomas Jefferson. However, I believe that the Native Americans were the real heroes of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, as they guided the group in two (and probably more) instances, and went on to endure the aftermath of the expedition. While this isn’t evidence of them being the real heroes, as it is honestly just disproving the idea that Lewis and Clark are the heroes, the Corps of Discovery didn’t even do anything that great, and are being constantly romanticized by America,

There have been theories that the 115 colonist that lived in Fort Roanoke were killed by Native Indians, but there is another theory that the colonist decided to leave Roanoke with the Native Indians. Nobody knows what happened to them, and nobody will probably ever know. What we know as North Carolina, was once known as Roanoke. When the first discoverers went to Roanoke to check out the land, they discovered the Native Indians were "the care takers" for the land. The discoverers learned to communicate with the Natives and started trading goods and crops with them.
The cherokee (chair-uh-kee) tribe was a tribe located in the southeastern part of the United States in states like Georgia, North and South Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee. Descendants now mostly live in Oklahoma. Many of the descendants now live in Oklahoma because of the Trail of tears which was the removal of Native americans by forcing them to Indian reservation, and if the tribes didn’t go by will the american army would force them.
The Hard Times of The Charles Town Settlers Unlike the modern American, the average Charles Town settler’s life was brutal and harsh. The hamlet of Charles Town was on the track to be founded in 1663 when eight Lords Proprietors were given a grant from King Charles I of England to settle or establish an organization of land below the colony of Virginia, after the failed grant designated to Sir Robert Heath in 1629. This newly established settlement laid at Albemarle Point on the Ashley River in 1670. With the town still being new, they relied heavily on trade with the Native Americans. Though Charles Town’s future looked bright everyday task were still a constant struggle.
Manifest Destiny was a big stepping point in America. When American settlers wanted more land, they decided to take Natives land, so they could expand their own land. This caused them to retaliate causing the Civil War. This made the Native Americans and Americans relationship to be worse. It made the Native American population decrease drastically.
Towards the end of the Civil War, the United States watched as Eurocentric countries imperialized, but decided to focus westward of their own country instead. An earlier idea from years previous called manifest destiny, became apparent again. White settlers began to settle west and even forced a eradication on Native tribes in Oklahoma, and did the same for Mexicans within Texas. Both stood in the way of their "God given" destiny.
Native American storytelling plays a key role in Thomas king 's medicine river. The author makes the reader question if they are inherently racist using stereotypes and irony to keep the reader on the edge of their seats. Tricksters in native American literature are known as someone that has a great degree of intellect or secret knowledge. They can come in any shape and form and usually have a dramatic effect on the story plot. For example in Thomas Kings Borders the mother in the story spoke about coyote and the trickster then all of a sudden the story took a dramatic change and all of their problems were gone.
When the English settlers came over to the Americas they were not expecting to find indigenous people already there. These people were the Native Americans. Over time the English settlers formed one of two relationships with the Native Americans that they encountered. Some of the English and indigenous people became allies and worked together in hopes of benefiting their own society. Other groups of English and Native Americans did not get along and conflict broke out.
Now, the laid back southern life to me, is the way to go! No one is ever in a hurry it seems, just moseying along at their own tempo of life. Sitting back relaxing in the yard with family and friends talking about everything under the sky, laughing and cutting up with one another, having a cook-out or a late night bonfire enjoying the night air, sippin’ on some sweet tea, is what is special in my heart.

The Oregon Trail is “this nation’s longest graveyard” (National Park Service). The emigrants on the trail looked for a new life in America. Some emigrants went looking for religious freedom, others went for land and power. They were not prepared for the dangers and difficulties that the trail presented.
“1491” Questions 1. Two scholars, Erikson and William Balée believe that almost all aspects of Native American life have been perceived wrong. Although some refuse to believe this, it has been proven to be the truth. Throughout Charles C. Mann’s article from The Atlantic, “1491”, he discusses three main points: how many things that are viewed as facts about the natives are actually not true, the dispute between the high and low counters, and the importance of the role disease played in the history of the Americas. When the term “Native American” is heard, the average person tends to often relate that to a savage hunter who tries to minimize their impact on their surrounding environment.
Most of the time my uncle and his family would join us for these weekend events, which just made it more fun. And when it was time for holidays, everyone would gather at our place even though we were the ones with the least amount of space. The only reason I can think of is we did have a big yard and we would normally stay outside playing some sort of ball game. I can still remember the game of volleyball where we played us kids against our parents and them falling trying to hit the ball. Our family had a special bond that you only saw in the movies.
The first settlers arrived in, what is now the United States, May 13, 1607. Despite the early age, the United States did not officially become an independent country until July 4th, 1776. When the first settlers came to North America, the American dream awaited to be achieved. The “American Dream” by definition is “the ideals of freedom, equality, and opportunity traditionally held to be available to every American.” (Dictionary.com).
