In our conference we decided that the Apache and O’odham would share the overlapping land and the Aravaipa Canyon area would be shared too. The Apache also acquired a small piece of land from Mexico to slightly widen their territory, in return for some livestock. Also the Apache would be closely monitored by the United States to keep them from attacking or raiding anyone else. We came to this decision by looking at the things that were important to each group of people and giving them what was needed. We took into account that both the Apache and the O’odham were spiritually connected to their homelands and the Aravaipa Canyon. Since the Aravaipa Canyon was on Apache land they did not want to share it without something in return. So the O’odham
It had previously been the policy of the American government to remove and relocate Indians further and further west as the American population grew, but there was only so much...
After many years of battling with the Native Americans for land, the United States grew tired of the fight and sought "peace". The first Fort Laramie treaty of 1851 acknowledged the Lakota territory, which consisted of North and South Dakota, parts of Montana, Nebraska, and Wyoming as belonging to the Sioux Indians. This was a considerably large section of land equating to about five percent of the United States (Calloway, 2012). The U.S. government realized the abundant natural resources of gold that existed in this territory and attempted to enact the Bozeman Trail. This trail ran through Sioux territory into the gold mines of Montana. This attempt at utilizing Indian land to get at the gold brought about Red Cloud's war in which the U.S. army was brought to a complete halt. This was an embarrassment to the U.S. and through this slaughter brought about the second Treaty of Fort Laramie in an effort to bring about "peace". The second treaty enacted in 1868, was full of deception and disharmony. This short analysis of the treaty will examine the snares which were purposely weaved into the wording of this lengthy document, which benefited the United States and chipped away at the Native Americans culture, freedom, and land.

The Shawnee also claimed these lands but, of course, were never consulted. With the Iroquois selling the Shawnee lands north of the Ohio, and the Cherokee selling the Shawnee lands south, where could they go? Not surprisingly, the Shawnee stayed and fought the Americans for 40 years. Both the Cherokee and Iroquois were fully aware of the problem they were creating. After he had signed, a Cherokee chief reputedly took Daniel Boone aside to say, "We have sold you much fine land, but I am afraid you will have trouble if you try to live there."
The word Cherokee comes from a Creek word "Chelokee" meaning "people of a different speech." In their own language the Cherokee called themselves the Aniyunwiya or "principal people" or the Keetoowah, "people of Kituhwa."
There have been laws set in place to protect the integrity and sovereignty of the apache tribes, however the american government tries to negate this rules by taking Apache land away from them. Mining companies have collaborated with United States government to give them position of reserved San Carlos Apache nation land. As author Derrick broze has noted, “Defence department funding bill grants… Rio Tinto, a 2,400 land parcel which includes parts of the tonto national forest…” (Broze). The Rio Tinto mining company desires position of those lands because of its rich deposit of copper found directly under the territory. This may not seem to be considerable compared to the 1,800,000 acres of land the San Carlos Apache nation has, but it is sufficient
The Iroquois includes many Indian tribes speaking a language of the Iroquoian family, such as the Huron, Mohawk, Onondaga, and Seneca among others. However, the Huron is often spoken of separately. The Iroquois differs from the Iroquois Confederacy, also known as the Iroquois League. All of them were affected by the arrival and colonization by Europeans. While Iroquois have a reputation of being violent, they were at times peaceful and were employed by different European companies; they also spread their culture and some European ideas with them. The Iroquois League has been said to have influenced the Founding Fathers, but is that true? Another question is whether the Iroquois were cannibals. They believed in witchcraft, but witchcraft
Quapaw, Osage, and Caddo have many similarities as well as differences. For example: their religion, food acquisition, food production, and social structure. In this essay, there will be comparisons between the tribes as well as distinctive differences in each tribe. In this paper, information about these tribes will be further explored.
The Apache and Cherokee Indians, at face value, may seem as different as Native American tribes can be. They both had radically different methods of dealing with colonists and settlers in their territories, were located on opposite sides of the continent, and had vastly different ways of running their societies. Despite their differences, they were also alike in many ways, and among these likenesses was the idea of reciprocity, a chief similarity that the two groups shared.
At the time Andrew Jackson was president, there was a fast growing population and a desire for more land. Because of this, expansion was inevitable. To the west, many native Indian tribes were settled. Andrew Jackson spent a good deal of his presidency dealing with the removal of the Indians in western land. Throughout the 1800’s, westward expansion harmed the natives, was an invasion of their land, which led to war and tension between the natives and America, specifically the Cherokee Nation.
...ll parties that they can agree on. Whether it be that the sacred lands be given back with little or no delay by the local people of the area, or to take monies from the tourism business in order to improve the conditions and education on the reservations, in a hope to make right a wrong that has been repeated throughout history not only to the Lakota people but to indigenous people everywhere. And to be used a model for further disputes to come in the future, because we all know that when it comes to mankind there will always be disputes between peoples.
After losing the Indian Wars of the 1870s, the United States created several smaller reservations for the Native populations and the government confiscated 7.7 million acres of the Sioux’s sacred Black Hills. The government assigned the Oglala to live on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. In the 1900s, the U.S. Supreme Court ordered the federal government to pay the Sioux tribes millions of dollars in compensation for illegally taking the Black Hill, but the Oglala’s desire to have the Black Hills returned to them remains strong and they refuse to accept settlement money.11
