I totally support Carolina's descriptive words toward the mistreatment towards Indians. The  word unfair covers all the violence specially Wounded Knee Massacre as she describes on her essay.  It was very descriptive  and you can imagine through her words how the Indians felt.

It is very surprising to know how the Indians were treated on the reservations.  Her good examples make you read more about the topic and is lamentable to know that the only medicine they had to cure so many diseases that were spread through Indians was cotoil which is bad.  They divided the lands with its individual tribes. Not only diseases were a problem but also hunger. Many Indians died and suffer from these problems.

 A very important fact  he emphicizes in his topic.  The individual groups that the Indians were placed. The three groups were the Dakota, Lakota and Nakota. He had lots of details and incuded too the assimilation of Charles which is the best example of a transformation from Indian into White names.

When you read the tittle you really want to read the essay. The fact that Indians are almost extinct is very impressive. The good thing about about reservations which is what hold Indians there is that the government help them. Other medication used to "cure" some diseases was called the brown bottle. It contained fish oil and a little bit of alcohol. So again many Indians died from diseases.

Last but not least a very interesting fact which is marked in history. The fight for Indian Lands. Every fight was like a massacre since White weapons were superior  so they won every single fight. All the fighting was created because of  the promises that the whites never accomplished. The treaties promise money and the best life for the indians,but soon they realize that the life they were living was not exactly the one they were expecting. This conflict resulted in all the fighting that took place between whites and indians
