  • Civilization and Sexual Abuse: Selected Indian Captivity Narratives and the Native American Boarding-School Experience
    ................................................................................................................. CROSSROADS. A Journal of English Studies 27 (2019) EWA SKAŁ1 DOI: 10.15290/CR.2019.27.4.05 University of Opole ORCID: 0000-0001-7550-3292 Civilization and sexual abuse: selected Indian captivity narratives and the Native American boarding-school experience Abstract. This paper offers a contrastive analysis of Indian captivity narratives and the Native American boarding-school experience. Indian captivity narratives describe the ordeals of white women and men, kidnapped by Indians, who were separated from their families and subsequently lived months or even years with Indian tribes. The Native American boarding-school experience, which began in the late nineteenth century, took thousands of Indian children from their parents for the purpose of “assimi- lation to civilization” to be facilitated through governmental schools, thereby creating a captivity of a different sort. Through an examination of these two different types of narratives, this paper reveals the themes of ethnocentrism and sexual abuse, drawing a contrast that erodes the Euro-American discourse of civilization that informs captivity narratives and the boarding-school, assimilationist experiment. Keywords: Native Americans, captivity narratives, boarding schools, sexual abuse, assimilation. 1. Introduction Comparing Indian captivity narratives and writings on the Native American board- ing- school experience is as harrowing as it is instructive. Indian captivity narratives, mostly dating from 1528 to 1836, detail the ordeals of white, Euro-American women and men kidnapped by Native peoples. Separated from their families and white “civili- zation,” they subsequently lived for a time among Indian tribes. Such narratives can be seen as a prelude to a sharp reversal that occurred in the late nineteenth century under U.S.

  • The Frontiers of American Grand Strategy: Settlers, Elites, and the Standing Army in America’S Indian Wars
    THE FRONTIERS OF AMERICAN GRAND STRATEGY: SETTLERS, ELITES, AND THE STANDING ARMY IN AMERICA’S INDIAN WARS A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Government By Andrew Alden Szarejko, M.A. Washington, D.C. August 11, 2020 Copyright 2020 by Andrew Alden Szarejko All Rights Reserved ii THE FRONTIERS OF AMERICAN GRAND STRATEGY: SETTLERS, ELITES, AND THE STANDING ARMY IN AMERICA’S INDIAN WARS Andrew Alden Szarejko, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Andrew O. Bennett, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Much work on U.S. grand strategy focuses on the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. If the United States did have a grand strategy before that, IR scholars often pay little attention to it, and when they do, they rarely agree on how best to characterize it. I show that federal political elites generally wanted to expand the territorial reach of the United States and its relative power, but they sought to expand while avoiding war with European powers and Native nations alike. I focus on U.S. wars with Native nations to show how domestic conditions created a disjuncture between the principles and practice of this grand strategy. Indeed, in many of America’s so- called Indian Wars, U.S. settlers were the ones to initiate conflict, and they eventually brought federal officials into wars that the elites would have preferred to avoid. I develop an explanation for settler success and failure in doing so. I focus on the ways that settlers’ two faits accomplis— the act of settling on disputed territory without authorization and the act of initiating violent conflict with Native nations—affected federal decision-making by putting pressure on speculators and local elites to lobby federal officials for military intervention, by causing federal officials to fear that settlers would create their own states or ally with foreign powers, and by eroding the credibility of U.S.

Historical and commemorative medals can often be used to help illustrate the plight of a People. Such is the case with medals issued during the period of the War of 1812. As wars go, this war was fairly short and had relatively few casualties1, but it had enormous impact on the future of the countries and inhabitants of the Northern Hemisphere. At the conclusion of this conflict, the geography, destiny and social structure of the newly-formed United States of America and Canada were forever and irrevocably altered.

  • Compare and Contrast the Counterinsurgency in the American
    Compare and Contrast 1 Running head: COMPARE AND CONTRAST THE COUNTERINSURGENCY IN THE Compare and Contrast Counterinsurgency in the American Indian Wars and the Vietnam War MSG Carrie R. Glover United States Army Sergeants Major Academy Class #58 Group Room R10 WO1 Kees Bak March 18, 2008 Compare and Contrast 2 Abstract This paper will compare and contrast counterinsurgency in the American Indian Wars and the Vietnam War; including three examples from each, and offer insights that can apply to the Global War on Terrorism. As senior military leaders it is imperative we always relook past experiences and see where we can apply them to situations facing us today. So many times, the Army has been guilty of reinventing the wheel. Many past wars and skirmishes provide ideas of what to do and what not to do in order to be successful. These two wars provide us relevant lessons learned to apply to the modern Army of today. Compare and Contrast 3 Compare and Contrast Counterinsurgency in the American Indian Wars and the Vietnam War The Army’s counterinsurgency (COIN) doctrine identifies winning the hearts and minds by gaining and maintaining the support of the domestic population in order to isolate the insurgents as the key to success. For most of the 20th century, the U.S. military thought it would fight a force on force conventional war and for the most part disregarded small wars and insurgency doctrine. So, instead of the Army learning from their experiences in the American Indian campaigns and Vietnam, the Army for most of the last 100 years viewed these experiences as flukes.

  • American Indians and Buffalo Soldiers
    1 American Indians and Buffalo Soldiers 2 From ABC CLIO’s American History: The West, 1850-1900 Eras 3 4 As American settlement pushed across the Appalachian Mountains in the late 18th 5 century, hostilities increased between Native Americans and the United States. After 6 Andrew Jackson became president in 1828, he oversaw the forced removal of Cherokee, 7 Choctaw, Creek, Chickasaw, and Seminole tribes west across the Mississippi River, but 8 pushing the Indians further west turned out to be a temporary solution. 9 10 Americans were pushing west as well. The California gold rush in 1848, the Homestead 11 Act passed in 1862, and the completion of the transcontinental railroad in 1869 all 12 encouraged westward migration. Between 1862 and 1890, approximately 2 million 13 people settled on nearly 375,000 farms claimed through the Homestead Act. These white 14 settlers encountered resistance from Native Americans, who were being forced off of the 15 land they had inhabited for centuries. The government’s solution was to confine the 16 Native Americans to reservations in areas deemed unsuitable for white settlement. A worthless 17 piece of land 18 A New Type of Soldier given to Native Americans for 19 settlement 20 Indian resistance to the removals resulted in the American Indian wars of the mid- and 21 late 19th century. These conflicts, in addition to the security needs of white settlers, 22 required a permanent military force to be placed on the frontier. After the Civil War, 23 many of these soldiers were African Americans. 24 25 In 1866, President Andrew Johnson signed an act of Congress that resulted in the 26 formation of six regiments of African-American troops.

The map was drawn by Henry Timberlake. In addition to a copy of the map, TSLA owns The Memoirs of Lieut.

In general Catholics were more successful than Protestants converting Native Americans to their religion Rum and guns had a very damaging effect on natives, who came to depend on manufactured goods rather than things they used to produce for themselves If Native Americans initially believed that Europeans were gods, that concept changed quickly, and the Europeans were incorporated into their political and economic systems. (See below for an example) Native Americans in the New World would frequently sell furs to Europeans in exchange for guns and alcohol. Exchanges such as these would permanently alter cultural habits of Native Americans, as they soon began to rely on guns rather than their traditional weapons.

  • From Resistance to Reservations by Ushistory.Org 2016
    Name: Class: From Resistance to Reservations By USHistory.org 2016 This informational text discusses the finale of the American Indian Wars, a succession of official and unofficial wars and attacks between American Indian tribes, U.S. military, and individual American settlers west of the Mississippi River from the early 1600s to the Massacre of Wounded Knee in 1890. At the end of the American Indian Wars, all surviving Native Americans were assigned to reservations where they faced poverty, alcoholism, unemployment, poor farming land, depression, and the forced removal of children to Indian boarding schools where they were stripped of their culture and language. As you read, note what motivates multiple sides to compromise or not compromise with one another on how American Indians can live. [1] In the second half of the late 19th century, America’s westward expansion1 was meeting forceful resistance from native populations.2 Settlers seeking opportunity out West were eager for land and resources controlled by different Indian tribes. The U.S. government fell into a pattern of forming and then breaking treaties with the Indians. This allowed settlers to take more and more Indian land, forcing Indians to respond with violence. The repeated cycle of stealth, resistance, and defeat that followed would eventually force the surviving Indian "The Custer Fight" by Charles Marion Russell is in the public domain. populations to bend to the will of the U.S. government. Another Broken Treaty America had a long history of forming treaties with tribes, and as western expansion continued, the government sought to use treaties to force Native Americans onto smaller and smaller tracts3 of land.
