sociology

Native Americans have been oppressed ever since the pilgrims arrived here in the late fourteen hundreds. The colonists arrived and thought that they were entitled to the land and not the ones living there. At first it was just a plain massacre; colonists were killing the Native Americans and just taking the land. They also were fooled into letting the “white� people stay on the land until finally it was overtaken. Another occurrence that happened was that the Native Americans either sold the land or traded it in very unfair deals that hurt them tremendously.
The Native Americans were taken by surprise and before they even knew it were completely taken over. By 1900, only 1/8 of them were left, which is only around 250,000. (Tischler) And at this time, they were shoved onto reservations and were completely humiliated. To this day, people do not realize what wrong was done to them. There is still hatred to them even though they were here first, and rightly deserve the land.
The Native Americans were presented with assimilation, pluralism, subjugation, segregation, expulsion, and

Native Americans have been oppressed and have not come out of that slump. There is still hostility between the two cultures, since the subjugation of the latter centuries. I believe that they should be heard and things need to change. But they should go after those who are doing them wrong. Those that are hurtful, not those that are trying embrace that in which the state started.

There is not anyway to truly solve the issues in which both parties would be happy. I believe that U of I could change how the mascot portrays himself and maybe give more dignity, but when it comes down to it, there will always be hostility if he is still there. I think that the Native Americans should stay focused on the mascots that belittle the Native American culture, not embrace it. There are plenty of fights out there, the right one is waiting and I do not believe that it is with U of I.
