It has been nice to hear about the positive impacts that the US government, and modern society has had on Natives. Even though 80 Million dollars does seem like a lot, and the people who are giving o ...

In most societies the youth has the greatest power to change things. While it was the elders who had know the roughest of time for Native Americans, the youth was still feeling those repercussions, a ...

In my post for last night, I wrote about how the beginning of reservations was the first time Indians had completely lost their control. This chapter seemed to be the beginning of them getting it bac ...

This was not one of the most exciting readings we’ve had. While this was clearly an important time for Indian culture, I didn’t think page did a good job of keeping it interesting. He sums the cha ...
