Native Americans
In this paper, I plan to talk about Native Americans people, the struggles they have had, their beliefs and customs, and some problems they are still facing today. Because there are so many Native American tribes, I decided to talk only about a few. I was looking in my diversity book, and I found there is a large tribe in Wisconsin called the Menominee tribe. Therefore, I will talk the Menominee tribe as well as some of their early history. Native American's have always had it rough. When Whites started to come over to America, they didn't think twice about taking over the Native American's land. As it says in Strangers to These Shores, "Columbus's first impressions of the Arakawa Tribe in the Caribbean reflected ethnocentrism... 'I knew they were a people who would better be freed and converted to our Holy Faith by love than by force... they are all generally of good height, of pleasing appearance and well built...They must be good servants and intelligent...and I believe that they would easily become Christians, as it appeared to me that they had no sect.' (#1, pg. 223) Struggle number one. People from other cultures trying to convert the Native Americans to their ways. Whites were the minority for severa
Men are brother to the trees and air and will the animals as well (#4). The Menominee people soon realized that they could get better deals with the British, than with the French (#2). Clans can give a person information and family background (#4). Through time, beavers were becoming scarce and the Menominee had to travel to find them (#2). The Native Americans couldn't understand the Whites way of treating the land, animals, and each other (hangings, prison, etc) (#1). This operation currently employs 350 people (#2). A clan is defined as a group of people who are related through a common ancestor (#4). A bit later, violent wars between each group became common, and the ending result is that the Whites won.
