Abuse of the Indians


The Indians have been passed threw so many things that still to this day it affects them in a very hard way. They have been moved from their land “the black hills” by fours and not by their own will that by itself is horrible. They had to be converted into Christians so that they cud be accepted. From their home in the black hill they were moved to reserves that had poor living conditions and many feel ill to disease.

Grant and other leader triad to bribe red cloud so that he would sign their contracts and hand over there land but the whites never kept their word. They trick red cloud into signing their contract but he did sign the other one they had for them. Sitting bull was more stubborn in terms of dialing with the whites he did like the idea of the changing there culture so he never sign anything. Even if grant thought that it was for their best interest to sale their lands and getting money out of it.

They were fours to convert to a deferent religion if not they were not accepted in the community. They had to use a Christian if not they would be ignored until they chose one. That is not something that you can let go that easily many had trouble changing their name. But after they did they would be treated normally.

The worst part of all was that they fours to live in the reserves with terrible living conditions and disease the kill most of the Indian that staid there. Many Indian fell to illnesses in dowse reserves and they weren’t really that happy there they cud not hut, they were cut off from nature and away from their home. There weren’t that many supplies for the doctors all they had was liker so that they would not feel the pain.

The Indians still suffer from all of these experiences and they are still not treated the same way as whites. It is very sad when you think about it all this people taken away from their homes and being fours to change their way of life that you have kept for so many years id cud have not been easy. so even do the whites treed to help them in the end the damage was done that is something that cannot be forgiven.
