American Indians

American Indians have been marginalized over the years by being forced to move to certain land and have been kicked out of land that they have owned over the years. The Americans had no right to remove the Native Americans from their land since it wasn't us who owned it it was the Native"s Americans land. But we still forced them off and attacked them till they got off.In the Article Would We Be Killed? it talks about how the Indians were made to give their children to the Soldiers so they could " teach" them but what were they really doing was stripping them of their indian ways. The Native Americans were not being treated the same as The Americans by not having the liberty to have a say in what happened to them and their children. I know this because in the article it said that if they dint give their child up that they would be arrested so they really dint have a choice.

I feel like Shanice Britton wrote this  essay so people could see how non different they are. Through out the essay she talks about how she does normal things like we do. She wears Jeans a shirt, goes to the store, goes to school. But she also talks about things that her tribes do that are different then our everyday life. This shows that she is the same as we are, we have traditions that we follow and so does she. She embraces her culture and doesn't hide her true self from others she talks about and answers question =s about her tribe and this is very inspiring to others because it shows that you shouldn't hide yourself to make people like you be yourself.
