Native Americans and Americans

Native Americans and Americans history goes a long way back. Americans have had control of the Indians for a very long time, and it ended up parting families from each other and especially children from their parents. I feel like this Indian and American situation bases off of the African American and Americans. Both African and Indians did not conquer their freedom for a period of time, and the Americans just took over. According to articles, Indian children were required to go to American schooling so they would learn the American culture. They would teach these children how to walk, talk, dress and even eat. I bet they believed they were trying to make the Indians more civilized than they already were. When I read all of these articles and even saw various pictures, I thought that the Americans may have done this to create every society to be the same. If everything was the same, then they would be able to control people better and create a larger society. Even though these Indians were practically turned into Americans, they did not forget their heritage or their culture. They still remembered everything they learned from their parents and kept those hidden. Throughout this period of the differences between Indians and Americans seemed as if the Americans wanted to take away the Indians culture by replacing it with theirs.
