     In history human societies has always progress by relaying in others people resources and working power. It happened with the Egyptians, the Romans in the Mediterranian,and when European settlers came to America  and took the land of native Americans. Thats why I agree with Mykaelas blog post. Native Americans suffered the effects of colonization, effects that are still present tody as the Native Americans are still daying and suffering from the lost of their land and their culture.

     The event on Wounde Knee Are the best example of the exesuseof violence and the abuse they had towards the NAtive Americans. White officers oppened fire against unarmed Native Americans killing everyone in their path. Most of the actions taken by White officers were the cause of missunderstandings and faer of what could had happened. I think many changes came in such a short period of time that either side were able to keep up resulting in the conflicts on the great planes.

      I understand that Native Americans could have improved some points of their lifes, but forced assimilataion was not and it is not the way to improve others. Native Americans had their all  identity  which was almost completely lost with assimilation. As Paulette I do not think that assimilation was not the right way to improve Native Americans  since even today   the down effects of assimilation are present.

Angel

     I agree with Angel statement since Native Americans have an history of misstraetment, violence and death. they were forced to give uptheir lands and assimilate. At the end Naive Americans pride and way of life fas destroyed.

     Until I read this blog I was ignorant of the pressen situation of Native Americans. He showed hod the NAtive Americnas changed from a  proud and natural loving society to a depressed and alcoholic society. Do to assimilations their population came to the point of extinction. Here you can learn about the long lating effect of assimilation and the abuse they suffered. this is why I do not think assimilation was corrct and that the government did not take the right decisions at the time.
