The Mistreatment Of Native Americans

247 Words1 Page

Walking through the museum I’ve seen many collections of potteries, clothes, jewelries, weapons, masks, bowls, fabrics were dyed in different colors. By looking through each showcase I could tell everything they made was by hands and all of the potteries were in different shape and size, but not perfectly shaped. I think these potteries were use to store water, food or decoration in their house or they could sell it to other tribes. One of my favorite things is the jewelry; there were a lot of jewelries from earnings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings. Everything was hand made for different styles from children to young girls and even for man and women. The Native American is known for wearing much jewelry to show their culture and tradition among themselves and other tribes. …show more content…

Throughout history the Native America have faced many obstacles, the genocide from the settlers and the U.S government who suppress their freedom with wars and unfair treatment. I found that it is very impressed how they could manage to keep all these collections at the museum to show the world that they were once a rich and powerful civilization just like other civilization around the world and all these things are represent a culture that once was long but it is important to discover what have been missing and cherish the remaining of a

    In this article, Dorothy Lippert, a Native American, covers the complex dynamic between Native Americans and museum collections, more specifically the archeologists that recover and archive the so called artifacts. This complex relationship between the artifacts, with the scientific importance and ability to educate, and the cultural importance of the artifacts to native peoples is one that is forever changing. Curators are in charge of putting together exhibits, but as Mrs. Lippert examines, the archaeologists that collect and find these artifacts have a unique relationship with these items. This relationship is unique because once archaeologists have control of an item, they decide what the item will be called, how they will classify the

  • How Did The Whites Treat Native Americans

    368 Words  | 2 Pages

    While I was reading chapter two I wasn't surprised with how the whites were treating the Native Americans I was just shocked with what they did to them. First they were told which half of the bay to live in. The whites wanted the area that was farmable to be for them while the Native Americans lives in the swaps, but that didn't seem to stop the whites for eventually wanting that land too. The whites would steal the land from the Native Americans because they would just happen to forget to write who the land belonged to down. This happened more on purpose so that the whites could get more of the land.

  • Effects Of Ethnocentrism On Native Americans

    168 Words  | 1 Pages

    I would argue that Native Americans were brutally massacred due to ethnocentrism. The Dominant group, white people, destroyed and ripped away multiple cultures, languages, and traditions from the native people. The dominant group clearly thought themselves of God’s gift to the world; they believed that they were the standard that all other ethnicities and races should aspire to be. Therefore, they chose to coerce the Native people into forgetting their culture so, they could force the dominant culture on to them. This was a cultural massacre, but this was not the only massacre the dominant group committed, even if they did not know about it.

  • Injustice Against Native American Women

    1283 Words  | 6 Pages

    Throughout the course of American history, Native American women have repeatedly become primary targets of sexual violence from non-native men. Around one in three Native American women has been raped or had undergone attempted rape, which makes them the largest race to experience sexual abuse than any other race in the United States. Before any contact was established between the Natives and the European settlers, the Native population had thrived off the land and they had their own criminal justice systems, which was meant to help all Native citizens find justice (Griffith, 5). Unfortunately, their efficient way of life would soon be interrupted forever following the arrival of white setters upon their lands.
