Indian Removal Act Article & Worksheet Early History & Native American Rights The Native American tribes of the United States have been fighting for their rights since the arrival of the Europeans. Today they are still fighting for their civil rights and the rights of their people. With the arrival of Europeans in the Americas, the way of life for Native Americans was changed forever. The Europeans brought diseases that killed as many as 90% of the natives. They also brought a different way of life. They wanted to take over the land and establish their own government. As the British colonies, and later the United States, began to settle the east coast, the Native American tribes were pushed to the west. They tried to fight back, but the European's superior numbers and weapons gave them little chance. 1. What are Native Americans still fighting for today? 2. Which was not one of the ways mentioned in the text that the Europeans changed Native American's lives? A) They brought government B) They taught them how to grow crops and hunt C) They brought diseases D) They took over the land 3. Why did the Native Americans move west instead of staying on their land? The Indians are Forced Out In 1830, President Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act. This law resulted in the forced removal of the Five Civilized Tribes (the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Creek, Seminole, and Choctaw) from the Southeastern United States to Indian Territory in Oklahoma. Some Native American tribes in the southeast were forcibly marched to Oklahoma. Today this march is called the Trail of Tears. In 1838, the Cherokee tribe was forced to leave their home and march to Oklahoma. Around 4,000 Cherokee people died during the march. 4. Who signed the Indian Removal Act? 5. How many tribes were forced to leave? 6. Where where the tribes forced to go? A) California B) Wyoming C) Oklahoma D) Arkansas 7. Why was the Native American walk to Oklahoma later named the "Trail of Tears"? No Longer Considered Nations and Getting Worse Up until 1871, the United States had established treaties with different Native American tribes. The tribes were recognized as independent nations. However, the Indian Appropriations Act of 1871 said that the tribes were no longer considered nations and that the previous treaties with the tribes were no longer valid. Things didn't get better for Native Americans. They were forced to live on reservations, but at the same time they continued to lose land through new policies made by the U.S. government such as the General Allotment Act of 1887. The Native Americans on reservations often lived in poverty, had low employment, and poor education. 8. The ___________ __________ ______ ____ ______ was a law that passed saying 2 points independent Native American tribes were not their own nations and all treaties with ​ them would stop. 9. Which of these statements is true? A) The General Allotment Act of 1887 gave Native Americans some of their land back. B) The United States never had any treaties with Native Americans C) Native Americans on reservations lived in poverty with low education. D) Native Americans we excited about leaving their land and traveling to new land. Indian Citizenship Act- Making Things Better The fourteenth amendment to the Constitution states that all persons born in the United States are citizens. However, this didn't apply to Native Americans. They were not allowed to vote even though they were born in the country. In 1924, the Indian Citizen Act was passed. This law gave Native Americans full citizenship in the United States including the right to vote. Despite this law, some states were slow to allow Indians to vote. It wasn't until 1948 that they were allowed to vote in every state. Things began to improve somewhat in the 1900s. The Indian Reorganization Act was signed into law in 1934. It reversed some of the issues with earlier laws and renewed the rights of the Indians to form their own governments. In 1968, the Indian Civil Rights Act was signed into law. A year later, in 1969, the National Indian Education Association was formed to help improve the education of Native Americans. 10. What act renewed the rights of the Indians to form their own governments? 11. Which well known historical amendment, mentioned in the text, did not apply to Native Americans? A) 1st B) 5th C) 4th D) 14th 12. In what year were Native Americans considered citizens of the United States with some states allowing them to vote? A) 1934 B) 1969 C) 1968 D) 1924 13. How many years after the Indian Citizen Act was passed did it take for all states to allow Native Americans to vote? Indian Civil Rights Act & Moving Forward The Indian Civil Rights Act of 1968 was a big step in advancing the rights of Native Americans. It is sometimes called the Indian Bill of Rights. This law guaranteed important civil rights for Native Americans. This law guarantees many of the same rights that are in the Bill of Rights such as free speech, a speedy and fair trial, the right to due process and a trial by jury, the right to an attorney, freedom of the press, and more. This was an important law and a big step forward in the fight for Native American civil rights. There are many complex issues surrounding Native American civil rights. This is mostly because people that live on reservations are dual citizens. They are citizens of the United States, but also of a tribal nation. Other current issues include voting rights and the use of Native American images as the mascots for sports teams. 14. According to the text, why was the Indian Civil Rights Act of 1968 was a big step in advancing the rights of Native Americans? Check all that apply Free speech Fair trial Given their land back Right to an attorney Right to carry guns None of these above The Alamo Article In the 1820s and '30s, many Americans moved to Texas from the southern United States. The territory officially belonged to Mexico, but the land was open to settlers. The settlers had governed themselves for about 15 years when the Mexican government realized that Americans outnumbered Mexicans in Texas! The Mexican government became worried that the U.S. would take Texas. Mexico decided to push the settlers back to the United States. The settlers refused to leave. Mexican General Santa Anna marched into Texas with many troops. He crossed the Rio Grande and approached San Antonio. Here, the Texans were awaiting attack. The Texans used the Alamo as a fort. Originally it was a mission, used for religious reasons. The man in command of the Texans was William Barret Travis. He sent appeal after appeal to the U.S. government for back up. No one answered. The Texans knew that they were outnumbered 10 to 1. Still, they decided to defend themselves to the death. From February 23, 1836 to Sunday March 6, 1836, the settlers waited. On March 6, Santa Anna stormed the walls of the Alamo. The Texans fought until death, even after hours of arm-to-arm combat. On April 12, 1836, a new Texan army under Sam Houston fought and defeated Santa Anna. These men were fighting for the rights of themselves and their families to live in Texas. They were also fighting for revenge. When Sam Houston led his men into battle, he rallied his men by shouting, "Remember the Alamo!" When Houston won, Texas became the Lone Star Republic. Did you know that Texas was the only U. S. state to be its own country? In 1845 Texas asked to be a part of the United States. The Republic was annexed by the U.S. government and became the Lone Star State. Alamo Reading Notes Graphic Organizer Alamo Reading Questions 1. Who was in charge of the Texans at the Alamo in 1836?

Our efforts in this area have been ongoing for over 20 years and reflect the spirit of Wisconsin Act 31. SEPTEMBER 2011 UPDATE Paul S Rykken Michael Shepard US History and Politics US History BRFHS BRF Middle School Infusion Applications 1 INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW The Infusion Task Force was established in December of 2009 for the purpose of improving our efforts regarding the infusion of American Indian history and cultural awareness throughout the BRF Public School K-12 Social Studies Curriculum. This action occurred within the context of several other factors, including the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the Ho-chunk Nation and the School District and the establishment of a Ho-chunk language offering at BRFHS. Our infusion efforts go back to the early 1990s and were originally spurred by the Wisconsin Legislature’s passage of Act 31 related to the teaching of Native American history and culture within Wisconsin’s public schools. The following link will take you to a paper that more fully explains our approach since the early 1990s: http://www.brf.org/sites/default/files/users/u123/InfusionUpdate09.pdf THE 8-12 COMPONENT As with any curriculum-related project, what follows is not the final word.

  • THE CITIZENSHIP ACT of 1924 WAS an INTEGRAL PILLAR of the COLONIZATION and FORCED ASSIMILATION POLICIES of the UNITED STATES in VIOLATION of TREATIES
    THE CITIZENSHIP ACT OF 1924 WAS AN INTEGRAL PILLAR OF THE COLONIZATION and FORCED ASSIMILATION POLICIES OF THE UNITED STATES IN VIOLATION OF TREATIES INTRODUCTION: The Onondaga Nation and the Haudenosaunee have never accepted the authority of the United States to make Six Nations citizens become citizens of the United States, as claimed in the Citizenship Act of 1924. We hold three treaties with the United States: the 1784 Treaty of Fort Stanwix, the 1789 Treaty of Fort Harmor and the 1794 Treaty of Canandaigua. These treaties clearly recognize the Haudenosaunee as separate and sovereign Nations. Accepting United States citizenship would be treason to their own Nations, a violation of the treaties and a violation of international law, as recognized in the 2007 United Nation Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. This paper will briefly review the history of land theft, removal and forced assimilation by the United States and how the 1924 Citizenship Act is woven into this disgraceful pattern of deceit and destruction. It will examine the true purposes of the Act and its history. Finally, we will review the contemporaneous resistance to the Act by the Onondaga Nation, on behalf of the Confederacy. For centuries, the European settlers and then the United States, have struggled with what they have called “the Indian problem”. This “problem” was largely defined as: how to take the Indians’ land and how to deal with the Indians still surviving and continuing to populate their own communities. In spite of the European and American efforts to the contrary, the Haudenosaunee have remained in sovereign control of some of their land, and all of their language and culture.

  • Xenophobia and Racism
    MODERNIZING AMERICA, 1889-1920 Xenophobia and Racism Resource: Life Story: Zitkala-Sa, aka Gertrude Simmons Bonnin (1876-1938) Zitkala-Sa was born on February 22, 1876 on the Yankton Indian Reservation. She spent her early childhood on the reservation with her mother, who was of Sioux Dakota heritage. Little is known about her father, who was Anglo-American. When Zitkala-Sa was eight years old, missionaries from the White’s Manual Labor Institute in Indiana came to the Yankton reservation to recruit children for their boarding school. Zitkala-Sa’s older brother had recently returned from such a school, and her mother was hesitant to send her daughter away. Zitkala-Sa, however, was eager to go. For children who had never been off the reservation, the school sounded like a magical place. The missionaries told stories about riding trains and picking red apples in large fields. After debating the decision, Zitkala-Sa’s mother agreed to let her go. She did not want her daughter to leave and did not trust the white strangers, but she feared that the Dakota way of life was ending. There were no schools on the reservation, and she wanted her daughter to have an education. According to her autobiography, as soon as Zitkala-Sa boarded the train, she regretted begging her mother to let her go. She was about to spend years away from everything she knew. She did not know English, and tribal languages were banned at the school. She would be forced to give up her Dakota culture for an “American” one.

STEIN ON June 2, 1924, President Calvin Coolidge signed into law a very brief act stating "that all noncitizen Indians born within the territorial limits of the United States be, and they are hereby, de­ clared to be citizens of the United States: Provided, that the grant­ ing of such citizenship shall not in any manner impair or other­ wise affect the right of any Indian to tribal or other property."! There already existed many ways by which most American Indians had become citizens by 1924: through allotments under the Dawes Act of 1887, and later the Burke Act of 1906; through marriage to a white citizen; and through treaties or any of'a num­ ber of special acts of Congress covering either specific tribes or individual Indians. Since there were only about 125,000 non­ citizen Indians living in the United States, there was little excite­ ment over the passage of the act of June 2, despite the fact that Homer P.Snyder of New York, the Congressman who had intro­ duced the legislation in the House of Representatives and the Chairman of the House Committee on Indian Affairs, called it "perhaps one of the leading bills enacted into law during this session...

They were forced from that area by the Shawnee and Cherokee Indians where the Euchee fled into what is now Georgia and Alabama.

EAGLE FEATHERS AND EQUALITY: LESSONS ON RELIGIOUS EXCEPTIONS FROM THE NATIVE AMERICAN EXPERIENCE KEViN J. WORTHEN* The legality and propriety of exempting religiously motivated con- duct from otherwise applicablelegal norms is the subject of ongoing scholarly,judicial, and legislative debate. The issue is particularly thorny when it arises in a legal system deeply committed to the con- cept of equality. The Eagle Protection Act, which exempts Native Americans religiouspractitioners who are members offederally rec- ognized tribesfrom its general prohibition on the taking and use of bald and golden eagle feathers, provides an interesting context in which to examine that debate. Not only does the Act exempt relig- iously motivated conduct from the otherwise applicable norms, it prefers some religious users (Native Americans who are members of federally recognized tribes) over other religious users, and does so on the basis of ancestry and political affiliation. A statutory scheme which discriminates on the basis of such important matters as reli- gious preference, ancestry, and political affiliation would seem to run counter to the concept of equality in a number of respects.
