Response

The book actually doesn't really seem to emphasize how much exactly the Native Americans lost. What it seems to go more detail in is how the Americans kept murdering innocent Natives in order to get new land. There is no clear statement on how the Natives felt or reacted to any of this. The book has described in a way as though the Natives were ok with dying and losing their land. Moving out. Natives to the west and coming to tortue them even more? I mean how much more could the Natives take? Wasn't there anything they did? Was there no one who actually saw how much wrong was being done and stood up to stop this? And why was it that the Americans kept coming for more land? Had they not had enough? They shoot the buffaloes as a game and then kill hundreds of innocent women and children who came to them to seek help.
