The Natives Fight Back

Although throughout history Native Americans have been cruelly patronized by Americans, this does not mean the natives have not fought back. Attempting to get back the land which is rightfully theirs, the Native Americans have tried numerous tactics over the years to win back their most prized possisan: land. The Natives have done everything from Attacking Americans, trying to get the media involved, and even coming together as tribes to form unions. Although these tactics have been unsucessfull, even today the group is still attemping to fight for what is theirs. This article was unique to the others I've read because it focaused on the Natives past, but then connected it to the future by allowing the reader to follow their history in a timeline of events. In a country such as ours, one would think that the government would be understanding to minorities issues, not shut down their ideas. When we hear about Native Americans rights, we automatically think past events in which they have been demeanored and obtusley treated, but what really made me think in this article was the idea that this is a pressing issue which still applies to today's world.
