Based on what I read about Roxanne's Blog, I think it was a good topic and it was very interesting to see how she added up so many details and examples. I like how she defends the native americans based on what is true. She emphazises alot on the history of the white people and the Native Americans.

The topic that Randy used for his blog was very good. He supported it with may facts and descriptions based on some examples. You could definitely see the effort he put in to it. I think Randy's blog was presentable and interesting in a way I could understand what he was talking about. Hes statements and comparisons were very good too.

I think Carolina's blog was very creative. I like the way she added photos to support her topic and facts too. I also like her comparisons because it shows the agreements and disagreements Native Americans and White people had between them and the struggle Native Americans faced along the way. Carolina from what Ive read did a very good job.
Itze

Upon my readings on Itze's Blog, I think that it was very interesting. I've always like her way of writing and the description she always puts to support her ideas. Another reason would be the supporting facts she emphazises on and some stereotypes she puts on as examples to support her statement. So finally, I say that Itza did a really good job on her essay.

I reflect Mandy's Blog as being very spontanous in a way that he really put hard facts to support his main idea. Although he didnt put pictures to describe some major points in his essay, he put alot of description to everything that was occurring. I most say that It was impressing to see so much opinions he made on what he believes. It really defines himself as really defending the Indians and believeing what they really are.

Life at the reservations for Native Americans
Native Americans by the mid 1800s were forced by the government to move to reservations and obligate them to assimilate with the white people´s culture and customs. The white settlers also wanted to take Native American lands on the Great Plains or they will eventually die but it was difficult for Native Americans because it was their homw for many centuries. They were starving and suffering from food in their lands that they finally had no othyer choice but to surrender and move to the reservations.
When the Native Americans moved to the reservations, life became different. They had new customs and beliefs. Native Americans were no longer seemed as they are and they were all equal there. In the movie, Bury my heart at wounded knee. Chief Sitting Bull in the reservations was treated as a Normal native American and not a Chief with power. Most Native American children attended school and were called with white christian names they assigned to each one of them. This was also part of the assimilation process. They had to assimilate by cutting off their hair to look like them. Their religion was changed to christianity. In the movie, Charles Eastman was an inspiration for many Native American boys to assimilate with the white people. They had no liberty and had to follow and respect certain rules.
In the reservations, some problems they faced were mostly health concerns, food, respect, liberty, and many more. Native Americans became sick by diseases spreading through the reservationsbut there were not enough medications for everyone. The medications that were given were mostly cotoil wich is bad. Thats what happened in the movie with Charles Eastman because he was a doctor that studied at Boston Medical School. Native Americans had lands that were divided with difficulties in growing crops and having certain amounts of food to eat. Most white people showed respect to Native Americans by welcoming them but it was told to avoid war and rivalry between the tribes because for them it was a land of peace.
Charles Eastmen, son of Chief Sitting Bull, was assimilated with the white people and he became a doctor that lived on the reservations for many years. He had also an affair and romance with Elaine Good Ale. Life for him was very good actually in my opinion. He had an office and a stabled house too. When the Native Americans came, he was very happy to see them but he had a hard time understanding his father and their sufferings. He helped the white people divide ther lands and make good offers. In his life, he also had an Indian name from his tribe wich was Kohiesa. Charles Eastman also worked as a police but his life became difficult remembering memories he had in his real home and he felt sad by the way he misses it so much.
Native Americans had a hard time in the reservations with the white people because of their surrender. In the reservations, they divided the lands with its individual tribes. Charles Eastman was an indian man who assimilated with the white people and lived on the reservations. I think that it was a good choice to move to the reservations because then they could die with diseases spreading around and the hunger they were facing although many issues ocurred it was better than the ones they had in their home.
