He fought the Seminoles in Florida in a war known as the "First Seminole War" in 1817 just seven years before his election into the presidency. The Seminole tribe was the only one of the Five Civilized Tribes to resist the government 's relocation efforts and they did so violently. The Seminole tribe resisted the Removal Act by fighting in the Florida swamps from 1835-1842. (Foner, 304)This war cost the U.S. army 1,500 soldiers, while the Seminoles lost only 500 members of their tribe. Unable to maintain their resistance finally in 1842, the U.S. government imprisoned the Seminoles and forced them to Fort Gibson.
Balance and Power: The Lakota Expansion The outstanding power of the Lakotas against other tribes and the settlers is said to be caused by the numbers and superior organization skills of the Lakota. But that is only half of the reason for the Lakotas’ power. The Lakotas succeeded partly because other tribes failed.
The first contact between the Natives and puritans was for trade and diplomacy only. The puritans though that they needed to teach the native their religion, but they where still too outnumbered by the natives to try that until after the war. The puritans were very hostile and they did not let the natives into their colonies. They were racist and they even robbed some of the natives graves. The natives were relatively chill, but they did have their faults, considering people just came and invaded their land.
The Battle of the Little Big Horn began on June 25, 1876 near the Little Big Horn River in eastern Montana. The battle took place between the U.S. Cavalry and northern tribe Indians. This war began over gold, and ultimately the refusal of the Sioux to move into reservations. General George Crook and his column were resting along the rosebud, when randomly a mass force of Lakota warriors came flying out of the mountains. Crook and his men withstood the stampede and prevented the Wyoming colony from being overrun.
[Title Here, up to 12 Words, on One to Two Lines] Hist223 Short Paper Professor Rozick 6/1/2017 Abstract The Aztec and Lakota tribes were all some type of Indians. Even though they were both Indian tribes and shared similarities, they also shared different beliefs on things such as religion, history of creation, animal life, and daily practices. The Aztecs were indigenous to Central America, where the Lakota tribes lived in the northern plains of North America. In this paper, we will explore some similarities and differences between these two tribes.
Native American tribes have been used, abused, and decimated throughout history, and it all started with European contact. The Chumash are a group of Native Americans that are located in the California culture area. They are one of the more peaceful Native American tribes, and one of the largest. They had unique subsistence strategies and food reliance because of their location, which was basically in between the coast and inland California. Prehistoric Chumash territory was very vast, and was significantly reduced during European contact.
Anil Adyanthaya, an attorney, wrote on June 5, 2005, "They are no different from other school nicknames such as Trojans and Spartans (like Aztecs, ancient peoples) or Fighting Irish and Flying Dutchmen (like Seminoles, nationalities). Similarly, Warriors and Braves are no different from the fighting men of other cultures, like Vikings, Minutemen, or Musketeers (all current NCAA mascots, the first of which is also an NFL mascot) so it seems hard to argue that their use is uniquely demeaning in some way.” (Wikipedia). I don't think we can consider it offensive to use Native American names and mascots without considering it offensive for all groups of people represented by
During the Great Sioux War of 1876 which was also known as The Black Hills War there were a series of battles fought between 1876 and 1877. The most prominent battle of the war was The Battle of Little Big Horn commonly referred to as Custer's Last Stand. This battle was fought between June 25 and June 26, 1876, near the Little Bighorn River in eastern Montana Territory. The Battle of Little Big Horn was fought between members of the Lakota, Sioux, Northern Cheyenne and Arapaho Indian tribes and the 7th Cavalry Regiment of the United States Army. The foremost leader of the Indian tribes was Hunkpapa Sioux Chief Sitting Bull.

The absolute least we as a nation and sports league can do is take away a name that the Native Americans find offense to their culture. We have not given them a voice until recently, although it is still flawed in how we value their opinion. Cynthia Connolly, one of the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, says mascots representing them most often reflect who they were in the 1800s, as warriors.
The 1870s, the time after the Civil War, was a decade of imperialism, great invention, reconstruction, labor unions and strikes, and the Sioux Wars. Especially The battle of the little Bighorn, was a crushing defeat for the 7th Cavalry Regiment of the United States Army under George Armstrong Custer. The 700 men strong 7th Cavalry Regiment were defeated by the Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho, which were leaded by several important war leaders, including Crazy Horse and Chief Gall, Sitting Bull. The reason of the Sioux Wars, and so also of the battle of the little Bighorn, was that the Native Americans fight for their land. The Battle of Little Bighorn was a training point in the relation between America and Native America because
The War Dance, Sioux, painted in 1832, by George Catlin In the 1830’s, George Catlin gave up his career as a lawyer to pursue his passion as an amateur painter and a surveyor of the Indian population living in North America. Catlin was highly passionate about recording his explorations on a painted canvas. It appears Catlin was not a well-trained painter or even close to being a natural artist, his deep desire helped him create historical paintings that depict facts about Indian life and their customary ways. Catlin created his War Dance, Sioux etchings in part as a response to his belief that someday this painting would be an important part of historical Indian relics.
