Last sesson...Let's chat about the why!
Why did they create these treaties? Was it a good or bad
thing? Some could say good and some could say bad. Depends on who you ask, and
what their view is on it. Treaties were made so American Indians could have
their land and so that the United States could keep some kind of control on it.
Treaties led to a lot of bad things. They led to fights between the US and
American Indians, but in the beginning, they led to a lot of peace between the
two. Over time, the United States has tried to take more control of the land
that does not properly belong to them. This has led to many tribes getting
their land stripped from them. When they don’t have land, they basically don’t
have a tribe. Thus causing many tribes to lose their identity along with their
members.
I hope this course gave you the insight you needed when it comes to American Indians and treaties. It's important that we all are able to relate and understand other's cultures.
Miigwech!
