chapter 28 : Liberalism, Civil Rights, and War in Vietnam

Ever since the colonization of America the Native America has had difficulties with the whites. Over the years, actually many years it seems like their disputes have never ended. I thought the disputes between the Native Americans and the whites ended after the Trail of Tears but I guess not. It always seems like there must be a controversy against the Native Americans even in present day. It is just to that point to let the Native Americans live on their land become citizens and stop interrogating troubles with them. It was really surprising to read how the Native Americans were still being treated poorly especially after World War II. The Native America tribe the Navajo help aid in the war against Japan, they were a major contribution to America, but never really recognized for their service. Knowing how they helped America, one would think they would be reward or even America help the Native Americans. It’s really discouraging to read how after war they were not recognized for their service nor rewarded, America just let the Native America go into poverty. As being part Native America specifically Navajo it is very discouraging, frustrating how America treats the Native America. The Native Americas should be treated like other countries; if a country shows loyalty and respect then they become allies with America, on the other hand if not, they become enemies. The Native America showed there loyalty and respect to America, which America should in turn give back.  For the Native Americas to get the respect and aid from America they had to protest of create a movement. To me which is not right the President should of show consideration of the Native Americans after the war and helped them with the programs beforehand not after protesting. Then again it seems like American people only get their way after protesting. For example after the women protested for equal rights they final got the right to vote, along with the African America with the civil right movement an d protest they finally got equality. It seems like the only way to get equality or rights in America are to protest, but then again America became America due to protesting against the English.
