As a woman warrior in a band that is consisted of men one would think of it as intimidating but that was not how lozen felt. Lozen was one of the few women that gained a “warriors” respect from male gender in her band; she earned the nickname of “Dexterous horse thief” . It was not a hazardous nickname but rather she earned it from her astonishing ability to steal horses. An eye witness named James Kaywaykla, who was a child at the time, described lozen’s way of stealing horses saying that, when the guards dismounted their horses and headed for their camps she would pick out the best looking horse that she desired and begin securing it, mount it and take off just as the guards realized that one of their horses as ben stolen. Stolen horses were not just trophies for lozen but she deeply cared for them as well. She groomed and nourished the horses.
Lozen also earned the warriors respect through her battle skills. Warriors were wildly known to be fast and ferocious and particularly feared in battle and lozen was one of the ferocious and feared warriors. Lozen could shoot, fight like a man and better than the males in her tribe. In battles, Lozen showed no mercy to the enemy she would aim her rifle at them and kill without blinking.
Lozen was given the privilege to join the elder’s war council meeting and major ceremonies, not because she was victorio’s sister, but because she was a special and unique warrior and it was rare to see a woman reach that statue of importance amongst a male entourage.
The Apache fought many wars throughout their life time but there is one that is particularly significant to them, the American and Apache War. In the year of 1860, leader of the Apache tribe Victorio had signed a peace treaty with the ...

...me. Lozen and her band were later imprisoned and put in a train heading to Florida. Lozen did not survive the outbreak of Tuberculosis with the poor treatment she was receiving in the year of 1890 she died, approximately at the age of 50 years old.
Lozen was the best warrior, and it is not only said but it is proven by how she lived and fought against the Americans for the freedom of her people. Her Amazing super natural abilities, her healing abilities and her extraordinary warrior fighting skills proved that she was the key to helping her people come to be free even though it meant that she would not be free herself . The Apache could not have succeeded in winning the battles they won against the Mexican’s, Americans and countless others. If it were not for Lozen and her supernatural contribution the Apache tribe would have been extinct by the 21st century.

...ronimo’s military excellence and leadership skills have helped mold him into the greatest Apache leader in their history. His legacy will live on forever with all of the other legends of the old west like Jesse James and Butch Cassidy. Today he is respected as a Native American hero and a martyr. “I was no chief and never had been, but because I had been more deeply wronged than others, this honor was conferred upon me, and I resolved to prove worthy of the trust." – Geronimo
... La Faye, Guinevere, and Lady Bercilak were all important factors in making Gawain realize that he is not perfect and that his pride overtakes all aspects in his life. Different characteristics of the women showed how no matter what beauty, magical powers, and obedience they had, they all shared the same goal to influence the men and play a large role in their everyday lives. Without women during the middle ages and also in the present time, society would not be what it is today, because women play very important roles that benefit and influence men.
Clashing swords, miraculous survivals, pain of loss, and heroic sacrifice are all terrifying yet thrilling moments in a battle. The strong possibility of death and the frailty of human life add into the suspense of battle. Yet the reasons behind the wars, death, and suspense can be overlooked. The stories behind the warriors who have died will not be told again, but the stories of warriors still alive are what give the men strength to continue fighting against impossible odds. Ultimately, the reason of why a man would risk his life in battle is for someone, or something, he loves. Like in Gilgamesh and the Iliad, women help encourage and influence the protagonists to be the heroes and protectors they are meant to be.
The Algonquians on the other hand had tried to take over the Iroquoian territory. The Iroquois had fought and won a battle with the Algonquians for the territory they had lost for 20 years. Other than these two main groups, the Iroquois people were well rounded. All of the many families in a clan, many clans in a tribe, and many tribes make what is known as the one Iroquois Confederacy. Some of the famous people who were a big part of the Iroquoian culture were Deganawida and Hiawatha. Deganawida along with Hiawatha were the two founders of the Iroquoian Confederacy. They both organized a few of the Native American tribes and made it into a political and cultural confederacy. Another famous Iroquoian person is Dina A. John, who was a resident of the Onondaga tribe and survived the Van Shaik Expedition. She had also served in the War of 1812 and became an artist and entrepreneur in New York. These famous people are representing for what the Iroquois Confederacy has become.

One of the critical tasks that faced the new nation of the United States was establishing a healthy relationship with the Native Americans (Indians). “The most serious obstacle to peaceful relations between the United States and the Indians was the steady encroachment of white settlers on the Indian lands. The Continental Congress, following [George] Washington’s suggestion, issued a proclamation prohibiting unauthorized settlement or purchase of Indian land.” (Prucha, 3) Many of the Indian tribes had entered into treaties with the French and British and still posed a military threat to the new nation.
5 years and nearly an entire continent separated King Philip’s war from the great pueblo revolt. Compare and contrast the causes and consequences of these 2 conflicts.
The movement westward during the late 1800’s created new tensions among already strained relations with current Native American inhabitants. Their lands, which were guaranteed to them via treaty with the United States, were now beginning to be intruded upon by the massive influx of people migrating from the east. This intrusion was not taken too kindly, as Native American lands had already been significantly reduced due to previous westward conquest. Growing resentment for the federal government’s Reservation movement could be felt among the native population. One Kiowa chief’s thoughts on this matter summarize the general feeling of the native populace. “All the land south of the Arkansas belongs to the Kiowas and Comanches, and I don’t want to give away any of it” (Edwards, 203). His words, “I don’t want to give away any of it”, seemed to a mantra among the Native Americans, and this thought would resound among them as the mounting tensions reached breaking point.
Native American’s place in United States history is not as simple as the story of innocent peace loving people forced off their lands by racist white Americans in a never-ending quest to quench their thirst for more land. Accordingly, attempts to simplify the indigenous experience to nothing more than victims of white aggression during the colonial period, and beyond, does an injustice to Native American history. As a result, historians hoping to shed light on the true history of native people during this period have brought new perceptive to the role Indians played in their own history. Consequently, the theme of power and whom controlled it over the course of Native American/European contact is being presented in new ways. Examining the evolving

In Chrétien de Troyes' Ywain, women represent the moral virtue and arch of all mid-evil civilization. Women of this time had to be an object of love, which meant they had to have beauty, goodness, and be truthful. They had to be a representative of all chivalrous ideals. They also act as civilizing influences throughout the story. Women are put in the story to give men a reason for acting brave and noble. Men become knights in order to demonstrate to women that they are strong and capable of defending themselves against danger. This, they hope, will win the women's heart.
