The Nez Perces had always had good relations with white men, and in 1863 they sign a treaty for their tribe to be moved to a reservation. As more white men move to their tribal land, the Nez Perces are forced to leave and move to the reservation. The Nez Perces decide that they do not want to leave their land, and they win a battle against the white men in the summer of 1877. The Nez Perces then make the decision to flee to Canada.

The Mohawk has been found to live in St. Lawrence River in Canada, along with others in Central New York (Ryan and Schmittroth 6).

European contact decimated the Chumash very similarly to the way it decimated many other tribes like through disease and assimilation practices. Aside, from all that the Chumash have a very fascinating culture

In the Chief Joseph’s speech, many examples were used to symbolize one main topic. This subject that Chief Joseph was getting to was that the white settlers should not have done what they have done. He explains about all the stuff done to his people and how simple treaties or apologizes will not be forgiven for the people and land that him and his people had lost. As I was listening, I agreed to his reasoning as it was truthful, and upstanding. What the white man did to his people and their possessions, such as land, game, or rights, was not acceptable and should be recognized. So, yes I would agree that the white man should return what was once the cultural treasures to the Indians, and to focus more on peace and liberty with them instead.

Andrew Jackson is known for being a major advocate for the superfluous removal of the Native American tribes. Jackson was being oblivious when he decided that he should ignore the treaties signed with the natives. The president was exhibiting selfishness and naïveté by confiscating the lands of the natives, to which they rightfully owned. Jackson had forced the “five civilized tribes,” which were natives who had adopted their neighbor’s ideas. These tribes were forced to make a long and perilous journey to the west of the Mississippi River.

Anyone can read a history textbook assigned in class and understand the events in their minds, but understanding the emotion of the people who were there at the events are lost in blank monotone text. Being able to recite events dryly from your textbook is not knowing one’s history. In order to fully understand history, you have to be able to understand every aspect of the events. Every emotion, thought, and desire of the people who were there as the history was made. In order to tell history, you need to attach emotion to the words being expressed so that the reader can fully understand what happened. In this context, with the help of Dr. Herbert T. Hoover, Joseph Cash gathered fifty-eight oral stories from Native Americans who had faced oppression

He used his environment to his advantage. He hid his warriors most of which were women in “rifleman holes.” This allowed the Nez Perce to ambush the Union soldiers while they were resting at their makeshift camps. Even though Chief Joseph was extremely smart, he was unable to provide essential necessities such as food, water and clothes so his people were freezing and starving to death. Through it all they continued to follow him. Eventually, Chief Joseph gave up and rode into the Union camp and told Colonel Nelson A Miles, “I am tired,’ he said. ‘My heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever.’ The old men are all dead… The little children are freezing to death.’‘Our chiefs are dead.” He surrendered at Bear Claw Mountain in Montana on October 5th,
