How Native Americans had their Culture Taken Away

Two Sides of the Story

How can two groups present such a different image of the same relationship? Well, it begins with how one group, the Native Americans for example, look at themselves. They don’t want to make themselves look bad, but also from their way of culture let alone actually live up to that. Native Americans were more civilized then the White men that came it seems. Now to the White men, they didn’t care for the Native Americans much, most had the ideal thought of just getting land, and that’s al they wanted. That is exactly what happened too. Their are two views because each one comes from both sides of the story. Different opinions create an interesting story.

These view points are caused from the way people encounter one another, and what they hear. If you never met a Native American and are only told stories about them, you only hear half of it. When new White men come in, they already of the idea that the Native Americans are savages and non-human beings. Now, since only the wrong minded White men came into the all the tribes, all they saw was what the White men wanted. The Native Americans experienced the bad side of White men. From all that is recorded, there a few recordings of White men being good to the Native Americans. It almost seemed as if the Native Americans were tricked by kindness and were killed with reality.

To me, it seemed like the Native Americans side was more accepted as truth. Even though the truth got them no where, it was the right thing. Truth is the exact reality of it all. It seems as if the White men were afraid, scared, and hated the Native Americans, when all they wanted was to be left alone. White men took away their way of living and it went so far overboard. The Native Americans accounts of White men is pretty much what is shown in their actions done to the Native Americans. Sadly, one group was a bunch of lying deceivers and the other group was committed citizens. One did whatever it took to get what they wanted, the other stood up for what they have lived for until death.
