Because the Indian's didn't behave like the settlers, they were labeled savages. The Native Indians were the first people in the U.S. and their way of life was looked down upon. However, in captivity, Rowlandson learned that these people were hospitable and resourceful. There were hopes that maybe her "observations, [which is] acknowledging the humanity of the Indians, were possibilities for the English to understand, even empathized with, the people they were dispossessing"(Takaki 44).
She viewed the Indians as terrorists invading her home and this was something she would have never thought she would see with her own eyes. (258) At the
rom the story, the author uses a interesting situational irony as introduction to point out the family indifferent. For example, “The grandmother didn’t want to go to Florida. She wanted to visit some of her connections in east Tennessee” (O’Connor 337). This shows that the grandmother was a selfish person. She only wanted to east Tennessee so that she used a reason “The Misfit [a crazy killer] is aloose from the Federal Pen and headed toward Florida” (O’Connor 337) to satisfy her individual wants.
(Perry ever since ‘tried to believe she slipped,’ for he’d love Fern… And there was Jimmy, the older boy- Jimmy who had one day driven his wife to suicide and killed himself the next” (Capote 110-111).

Pocahontas fell in love with John Smith, as he fell in love with her as well. Not only did she save John’s life she also created an epidemic.
Andy Rooney used a stereotype when he made the statement, “Indians were always considered to be brave, strong, stoic, resourceful, true to their word and unconquerable. Anyone with a touch of Indian blood in their ancestry is proud of it” (51). While it may be true that some Indians are “brave, strong, stoic, resourceful, true to their word and unconquerable” (Rooney 51) these attributes cannot be used to describe every single person with Native American heritage as not every single person may necessarily have these qualities. Some Native Americans may possess these qualities, others may possess only some of these qualities, and some others may possess none of these qualities. The statement, “Anyone with a touch of Indian blood in their ancestry is proud of it” (Rooney 51) also may not necessarily be true.
“They are by nature the most humble, patient, and peaceable, holding no grudges, free from embroilments, neither excitable nor quarrelsome.” (Las Casas) The Indians had no greed, hatred, or arrogance.
If that part were to be excised, the audience might be able to witness the beginning of a genuine mother-daughter relationship, as Vivie would still have those sentimental feelings for her mother. If that scene was replaced by a different scene where her mother succumbs to a crippling illness instead, the whole play would be different. Vivie, realizing the new genuine relationship with her mother, will be by her side and would probably not have moved on to her new accounting job so easily. In order for this to happen, Vivie would have to realize that all of her mother’s sacrifices had led up to that point of Mrs Warren’s near death, and Vivie would be empathetic and sentimental towards her mother as she is sick, instead of cold and rejecting as she would be towards her at the end of the

Even though America has become quite the diverse place with diverse cultures, the cultural appropriation found within the American society contributes to the loss of multiple minority culture’s identity. Native Americans are one of the minority groups most heavily impacted by cultural appropriation. From offensive sports, many American Indians feel as though their cultural identities are lost in the mass of stereotypes and false representations of them in popular culture. In literature and film, Indians are too often portrayed as some variation of “the Noble or Ignoble Savage” (Gordon, 30), violent and uneducated, and it is easy to imagine how this negative representation inspires resentment in the Native American community, who have no interest in having their cultures and peoples being reduced to mere savages,
