The Indians Land Being Takeover

         From the early 1800s onward Native Americans were told to give up their lands. Much of them lived in communities as farmers and hunters. They lived peacefully and in groups. Although at first the Native Americans and the white men, also known as European, used to get along well. A name for all the tribe are called Sioux, this breaks up to three well known Native Americans groups, the Dakota, Lakota and Nakota.

    White American officials chose the new idea for Native Americans to have 'Christian names' instead of their own Native American names. Native Americans who accepted assimilation were basically forced to change their names.Cause if they don't they were not to be called Americans and wont be know as a white man. Native American names were considered to too long and complicated for white Americans and thus were told to change their names to make it easier to understand.

           By 1862 a major problem attacked the Dakota because they agreed to live in the reservations but with annuties. Which the government did not contribute. Angry Dakota attacked leading to the Red Cloud's war of 1866-1868.Their ideas was to make reservations for the Indians. Many Indians disliked the idea. They wanted to story because of their culture.

   If a Native American assimilated completely it did not mean he or she was out of the woods yet. Racism was very common in schools and colleges where both whites and Native Americans would go to. Usually whites would feel superior to the Native Americans and were not shy to mention this to them in the form of racism and harassment.
Sitting Bull born a leader was now surrendering to the white men which controled everything without a protest. Sitting Bulll accompanied by his small amount of troops claimed to live in the reservation due to the lost of their relatives. Arriving at Standing Rock Reservation Sitting Bull finds himself with his son which he was now working for them as a police officer in the reservation and almost lost in the white men ways.

  When most of the Native Americans were colonized after the early 1800s, assimilation occurred. This act caused the few Native Americans who accepted to change their names to Christian names, like John, or Jacob. This also caused the males to cut off their hair which was basically their pride and honor. Feelings about assimilation were bad on both the whites and Native Americans.
