Two humans with a different race are living together in the same house, but fighting over who gets what. The Yakima Wars describe just that. Due to the war between the U.S. military and the Yakima’s, the pioneers setting in the Pacific Northwest were affected by the location of the war, the relationships between the Indians and pioneers, the climate, and the lack of communication between the Indians and whites. All of these affects upon the pioneers contributed to the Yakima Wars. The war could not have been avoided because the whites wanted the land on which the Indians were on. Either way the war would have happened. The main reason the whites fought with the Indians was because the United States Government wanted the land on which the Indians were on, and the whites didn’t follow their treaty between the lands. That was just one reason the Indians and whites fought.

On June 25, 1876, The Battle of Little Bighorn took place near the Black Hills in Montana. This was one of the most controversial battles of the 20th century and the line between good guys and bad guys was grey at best. Gen. George Armstrong Custer (reduced to LTC after the civil war) had 366 men of the 7thU.S. Cavalry under his command that day. Sitting Bull (A Medicine Man) led 2000 braves of the Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho tribes (Klos, 2013).

...that actually experienced it. The author gives a good background of the relationship white settlement and Indian cultures had, which supported by the life experience. An author depicts all the emotions of struggle and happiness at the times when it is hard to imagine it. And it actually not the author who is persuasive, but the Black Elk himself, because he is the one that actually can convey the exact feeling and images to the reader.

Nearly three decades have passed since the eleven-week armed stand-off between the Mohawk Warrior Society, Sûreté de Québec, and Canadian Armed Forces, commonly known among Settlers as the Oka Crisis. While the relative success of the conflict on the behalf of the Kanien’kehá:ka people is still widely debated today, it is undeniable that it fundamentally changed Indigenous-State relations in Canada. One concrete measure that stemmed out of the stand-off was the creation of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal peoples (RCAP) a year later in 1991. The largest and most expensive commission in Canadian history, RCAP was tasked with contextualizing the history of the Indigenous-State relationship and producing recommendations for its improvement.
