Natives should get more recognition
By Aidan
I think natives should get more recognition .Have you ever thought about the native Americans that may have stood where you are now. Have you ever thought about these natives as being mistreated or forgotten well I have reasons that I hope can make a difference and possibly a better life for these mistreated natives.
Some of the unknowns from the native race.
Cory Witherill
Race Car Driver, of the Navajo Nation. Witherill has been racing for more than 15 years, including three seasons in the Dayton Indy Lights Championship. In 2001 he finally debuted in the Indy Racing League and then the Indy 500 (placing 19 out of 33).
John Herrington
Astronaut, of the Chickasaw Nation. Herrington is the first Native American to walk in space when launched November 23, 2002 aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavor.
Natives history
Did you know natives fought in the civil war. They did this because the wanted to strengthen the rights of their people. The natives also could have fought in this war because they wanted to show that they were not a lower species and that they too were humans just like us. The Americans enslaved the natives but they refused to work and would rather die because they were humans and not a animal to order around. The Americans eventually stopped enslaving the natives because the natives weren't working so they enslaved the African Americans.
Their Religions
A huge native religion was Christianity same as lots of Americans. I do not know why they thought taking their land was a great idea after all they are humans and had the same religion. Americans have tried to convert the natives who did not have a Christianity religion which is very wrong they should be able to keep their religion.
Obstacles
Did you know some people thought of native Americans as obstacles and that they should be removed. Although some people thought of natives as people a big group of them thought of natives as property or obstacles. Would you like it if someone tried to enslave your family or tried to kill you with a disease.
Trading
Have you ever traded with someone and they gave you something horrible while you gave them something good. The Americans unfairly traded with natives. The natives would give something like animals while the Another country would give them spare parts. Would you like it if you were loaning someone one of your prized possessions and when it was time that they should give it back they just disappeared. That's how the natives felt except they did not know other countries were unfairly trading with them except they did not know the were nearly useless.
The United States of the Mayan
Have you ever wondered about what it would be like if no one invaded What is now America. If no one ever took the land from the natives this would be a completely different country and there would definitely be less crimes because there was no word for ownership in the native language. But in English there is mine,theirs,my etc. whe. people want something very badly and they are willing to break the law for it the rob houses and steal other people's possessions.
Since I have told you my reasons do you think natives should get get more recognition . I hope that after hearing my reasons you could help make a difference and possibly a better life for these natives that have been pushed from their tribes land and forced to live a modern life unless they go to native a native Americans reservation.
