The Struggles of the Native Americans

These pictures shows how the Native Americans struggled against the whites.

Native Americans treated the whites with respect and they even shared their land with them. But the whites wanted their land to make money, in which caused the Native Americans to get angry and fight. Indians could not be freein their land anymore and their form of protest against the whites was fightiing.

The NativeAmericans were very peacefuland treated the whites. After the whites realized that their land was very valuable, they did anything as possible to get it. The American government decided to do a Removal Act for the Indians, in which they were forced to get out of their land and if they didn't, the whites would start fighting and killing Native Americans. Many Native Americans tribe had nochoice than to relocate to reservations, but as the time passed, the Indians realized thuat they were not treated theright way and they were discriminated by the whites.

Later, the Native Americans realized that they did not deserved to live in such conditions in the "white land" and they had to stop obeying "white rules" and start living their normal life since the whites did not respect them. This was when battles broke up between the whites and the Native Americans. These battles were known as savage and violent, and they took place in a small area, and involved few people. Native Americans joined and killed or captured as many whites as possible and often scalped the dead. Most of the wars were little more futile attempts by desperate, poorly equipped Native Americans to keep their land and their way of life. The whites won and often rewrote history to suit themselves. Today, many Native Americans live in reservations with their way of life, religion, and beliefs but are still discriminated by some whites.
