My Reflection of this poem...
As a American, I feel that Indians did not have a fair honest chance to stand up for what they believed in. The white people came and unfairly took over and when the Indians tried to defend themselves, they were proclaimed as savages. People that lived a life, undisturbed for years, now having to change their ways for the benefit of the new people coming into their land. Tribes are gone now, died out, extinct because of the in humanity showed towards them. Yet today hundreds of years later, Indians are still not getting the recognition they need and the respect they deserve.
