We can only judge what is proper and right. The white men do bad all their lives but repent on there death bed, that shouldn't be right.

That's a false statement, a true Christian repents at confession, there supposed to do good, but when the temptation of sin and evil is there and we fail a test of God then we do bad, buts that why we repent. A true Christian should repent as much as they could.

They are heartless, they had made there people slaves, they hated the black men, the slaves have children born to them the same color. (The Indians view on the American (white) people.)


I can agree and disagree with them because to call us heartless is pushing it. Only a vast majority had slaves, but there was lots of good and true Christians who valued the life of everyone regardless there race and culture. There's good people everywhere, even in the worst place on earth, there are good people everywhere, if you open your hearts, you'll find them.

They get caught up in  money, business, and attention, and they soon forget about there soul, there spirit.


Money wont get us to Heaven? How does money help our souls get closer to God? It doesn't, give our money to the poor, do what we have to do to be stewards of this world. Love not just yourself but everyone. We should our lives in the fear of a loving God.

No buffalo or black tailed deer. Our Indian ways are almost gone too. The next generation after me can read and write, they grew up in a "white men" school. I see my Indian village, dying. I see the shadows and the war of the river. My Indian life is gone forever.


The way of the Indian is gone forever, the odds of beginning it back are gone. The whit men, adopted their own ways, and out numbers the Indians. Making them gone forever. They must adapt now to the American way because if they rebel again, they will loose everything.

Where the warriors today? Who killed them? Where is our lands? Who owns them? I would die for my people and my country.


We live in times theft. Whatever the white men did to the Indians, they gave it back. There were pushed out of there land. They were killed and humiliated. They lost there warriors, who were killed by the gun. They lost there land that they were forced to push out of.

Don't greed, tragedies do happen. Death comes, and it comes from the great spirit. What is in the past and the future should not be greedy.



Being greedy is wrong. We should never be greedy. We should never be upset when death comes. Worry about death when it comes, don't worry about it now, worry about it when your older. Seize the day, making everyday worth living.

Nothing was wild but everything was free from fear. The faith of an Indian and a white differ from this.


They live in times where they are not afraid of anything. The wilderness is something that strengths their faith. They believe the nature is apart of their faith and brings them closer to God. They learn form their mistakes, they realize we came from nature, we come from the one true God.
