Back in the mid 1800's people loved to move in the west. Especially Native Americans. Regular Southerners were there but the Native Americans kicked them out slowly. The Native Americans took over the West and the West was there territory. They ruled everything. Whoever posed a threat to the Native Americans was killed. No matter what happened the Native Americans stuck by each other and were very loyal to eachother.
Native Americans in the west lived in tei pei's and slept around fires. They used buffalo for everything and anything you can think of. They used buffalo for clothes, food, blankets, utencils of any kind, cook wear and different weapons. They were very intelligent also. They got where they needed to go by using carriages and horses. They spoke sioux and they also spoke english.
They really didn't really like other races especially americans. They wanted to be like Americans even though they had knowldege like them but they envied them anyway. They were even slaves at a point in time.
Now Africans on the other hand were similar to the Native Americans. The stuck by eachother also. They used a lot of differnet animals to provide food, clothes, shelter, and weapons for themselves. Africans had huts that they slept in. They to fought for there terrioritory. Just like the Native Americans the fought for there territory no matter what. The didn't have problems with different races but certain ones were not to fond of whites becuase whites enslaved them. Though the Africans were very good people.
The Africans spoke french and french was there only language. Africans were not the smartest because they didn't have teachers to teach them like the whites or the Native Americans. Africans tought eachother. They built there own schools and had the smartest Africans teach them. Africans got arocund by traveling on foot. They didn't have carriages or horses like Native Americans or whites. Though Africans still did what they needed to do as a nation.
So as you can see Native Americans and Africans had alot in common. Then they had a lot of things differnt about themselves. either way the were two good nations who fought for there territory no matter what and until this day they are still remembered. They are also still here.

Your blog was very informative about how Native Americans and African Americans dealt with their struggles in America. The Natives had settled in America before the European colonists did, which only caused conflict and wars between them. In addition to providing resources, the buffalo guided the Natives from one region to another. African Americans were motivated to move westward in order to receive education and exercise their rights. Unfortunately, the distance was too long to walk for many. To this day, few African Americans live in the western U.S.
This was a good blog.
you did a good job showing how native americans struggled against whites. the white settlers were not respectful towards them for the most part, and this caused a lot of conflict. I liked how you tied in the native americans seeking education and rights in the west
The native americans were very smart. but they didnt really move west. they already been there and the settlers where the ones who tried to move them out. but they fought back, while also learning new things, but the settlers didnt stop. until they took the native americans to extinction.
MIMI!
I ENJOY READING YOUR BLOG.YOUR BLOG WAS MAINLY ON THE WESTERNERS AND AFRICANS. I DIDN'T KNOW NATIVE AMERICANS WERE KILLED. I LIKE HOW YOU MENTION THAT THE NATIVE AMERICANS STUCK BY EACH OTHER SIDE. THAT WAS A GOOD THING. OVERALL YOU BLOG WAS VERY WONDERFUL. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
Wow, you really thought out of box this time! Native Americans? Nobody wrote about Native Americans in our class. Overall, your essay was great. I liked all of the details you included such as how they dealt with the struggles they faced during the Westward migration. Nice job! Keep it up! Looking forward to reading your next blog!
The Natives were very intelligent people. They used buffalo for just about everything.Indeeed, Natives and African Americans, had a lot in common. They both had to overcome a lot of struggles.
This was a very good blog about. I learned that Native Americans used many different animals for clothing, food, and weapons. Since the Native Americans were so dependent on this animal, the US tried to kill that species; in order to keep the natives to stay in one location. So the Americans could gain more land, to turn for a higher profit. It shows though the western expansion was good, it had some negative effects on Native Americans.
It was unfair how native americans got treated because of the white settlers. How native americans had to leave their homeland because they were not allowed to live in certain area. Also it was not fair that the white settlers killed the buffalo just for their skins and nothing else. where the native americans used everything on the buffalo.
this was a really good blog :)
most people don't really touch on how Native Americans were treated poorly, and I'm glad someone finally showed that it was the same mistreatment that African Americans got, if not worse.
Your blog had lots of information in it on Native Americans and their struggles. The whites gave them no respect and made their life very hard. It is important that the native americans gave up, and stuck by eachother and stayed loyal.
