Native Americans, as we all know, where the first to be on the United States when Christopher Columbus had sailed to it but had declared it his land. Through the wave of wars, moving of the whites from England to the States, and unnecessary violence, the Native Americans population had begun to decrease when they first started to move to other parts of the land to find their new home so that the whites would be able to live comfortably without them around.

As we all know, Native Americans have suffered greatly within their culture and are still struggling in society today even though this is their land. To celebrate these people and to remember their ancestors, Native American history month is in November. Note: When I do history month activities I plan on doing the ethnic/race group that whole month so these are only a few ideas that I will be including in my classroom. One simple and fun activity I found is a song about these Native People. It is a learning song that I found on this website here.

American Indians in the West have created tribes have created their cultures many years before the first European settlers arrived. The speculations on whether the Indians were “vanishing” due to their inability to adapt to modernity and died out proved to be untrue. Native Americans were living pleasantly the way they were before they were introduced with the plague that came to be the first Europeans.

Due to this unfortunate phenomenon, the voices of the Natives that desired to share their experiences have been lost and forgotten, as they were deemed insubstansial and appointed to a lower status. Throughout literature, the other has been a term used to appoint to individuals with contrasting opinions on race, sexual orientation, origin, and various other classifications to minoritize a specific group.
