As more and more Europeans kept moving westward the native American struggle to keep their land and their traditions intact became an impossible goal. So they became content with just trying to keep their way of life going. They had treaties with Americans but those were broken constantly and native land was taken from them whenever the white people needed to expand. In the picture above it illustrates extremely well what happened to the natives as there world came to an end. they had to keep migrating, and having to move into reservations. For a lot of natives, moving to a reservation was a sign of giving up. Some tribes even tried to migrate to Canada to try to salvage their culture. I believe that we as a nation need to not forget about the struggles and injustices that were forced upon the native American.
