Classmates Summary

Albeth Matos   http://www.jujomonkey.blogspot.com/

    In Alberth's blog he talked about how was the lifestyle of Native Americans. I learned that by the late 1800’s the creation of railroads led to a fast increase in the amount of settlers that invaded the Native Americans looking for gold and a chance to get a piece of this free land. Also I learned that the changing was caused by the presence of the whites.

     In Angel's blog he talked about the abuse of the Indians. I learned that three tribes were very affected by the abused caused by the whites. Also I learned that the whites took away the Native American's lands without giving them anything back, only putting them in reservation camps.

     In Hector's blog he talked about the whites taking control over Sioux. I learned that whites tried  negotiate with them and if they disagree the whites will use violence and order toward them. Also I llearned that whites wanted control over Sioux to gain their lands and have more power.

    In Keven's blog he talked about whites taking control over the Indians. I learned that Indians wanted only thei piece of land and their own rights. Also I learned that the U.S. promised the Indians that they would control the Indians and they would take almost all their land,and when it came to be true it didn't happen. The U.S. lied to the Indians and then if they didn't sign the treaty they would get killed.

     In Gabriela's blog she talked about Whites gaining control over the Natives Americans with violence.I learned that Custer forced them to move because he wanted the gold of their land. Native Americans had to assimilate to the American culture in order to be treated as one of them. Also Sitting Bull moved with his tribe and his powers were taken off and he was then like the other men and he had to do his own stuff.

Ummmm........Intresting.......Want to know what really happen at Wounded Knee, well then you should read this.! ;))

           Natives Americans were abused on the Massacre of Wounded Knee. They were treated were harmfully. Before war started, people were moved into different regions. The land was big but where they had to live was little for them. When they had their own land they had their own leaders,but when Sitting Bull moved to the region there were no more leaders.
           When war started, alot of people were wounded. Womens, many soldiers, even childrens were wounded. White mens made over 600 hundred treaties and they broke each and every treaty they made. White men also destroyed the culture of Native American people. If children were caught speaking their Native American language they were beaten up.
           When war ended there were alot of people killed. !50 Indians were killed. Womens and childrens were killed very harmfully. Soldiers killed more than 200 unarmed Sioux. Sioux being transported refused to give up his rifle, but those 25 soldiers were most likely killed by friendly fire.
           People were forced to give up their weapons. During war hey also got killed and wounded because they gave up their weapons. If they were not forced to give up their weapons then there was going to be less dead people. 
          In conclusion, alot of Native Americans were abused. There were people wounded. The whites killed alot of people and innocent people. It wasn't fair to kill them because they could live the way they wanted to live. Also since they were forced to give up their weapns they didn't have nothing to defend with and that's why there was a big massacre at Wounded Knee.

Stephanie's immigrant story is true. I agree with her because immigrant people are really being treated very badly and it is very unfair because they wouldn't like that they were treated badly.

Raymond's ancestry is kind of coinsidence but is also funny how he mentioned thet his mom and dad were from New York. This family is very cool and I like both of them.

I saw Carlos video and I think it's unfair because it's true. you can't just go around and say to a person let me see your papers because you like an immigrant. Immigrant should be legal all around the world.
