White American doing the Best for the Native Americans?

        White Americans wanted to make people think that they were giving the Native Americans the best, but they really weren't. What happened in Wounded Knee was definitely not a battle, it was a massacre; Native Americans were not ready for that. White Americans wanted Native Americans to assimilate their culture. Native Americans were peaceful people who promoted tranquility. They even moved to Canada to avoid any risk in the United States.

        What happened in Wounded Knee today it's known as "Wounded Knee's Massacre" but the White Americans would name it as the Battle of Wounded Knee. This tragically event took place on the Lakota Sioux reservation in 1890. White Americans ordered Native Americans to stop doing their ritual, The Ghost Dance. White Americans thought that the Ghost Dance was disrespectful. The Ghost Dance was to celebrate a hope for day of reckoning when settlers would disappear the buffaloes would return and Native Americans would reunite with their dead ancestors. White American troops went to Indian's reservation and get their firearms, that way they wont have any chance to defend themselves. White American troops put cannons surrounding the Indian's Reservation. Most Native Americans died. They were 150 Indians killed and 50 were wounded. Men ,women, and children were killed.

        White people wanted Native Americans to assimilate American culture. Indian boys had to cut off their very long hair like white American boys did. Teachers forced their Indian students to have their White American name. Charles, a Native American man that was sent to Boston, was assimilated as an American. He used to be forced by a teacher to invent and say his White American name.

        Native Americans were peaceful people who promoted tranquility, they even moved to Canada to avoid any fighting with the white Americans. Sherman burned down Indian houses. clothes, furniture or in a short word, EVERYTHING. He did that because Indians killed Cluster in a battle, he wanted to rebel from the death of his good friend. Sherman was known of burning down things after war to the Native Americans, and that's what he did. So when White Americans fought with the Indians, the whites won because the Indians gave up. Sitting Bull, the best est leader, known by never giving up, decided with Sherman to go to war. After the war, all the Native Americans moved to Canada and there they were gladly welcomed.

        The White Americans wanted to make everyone think they were doing the best for the Native Americans, but they didn't, they only wanted land and ended killing most of Native Americans. What happened in Wounded Knee was not a battle, like white officials called it. It was a massacre, they had no idea that they were going to be attacked. The White Americans were very strict by wanting the Native Americans to assimilate them. They forced Indians to have their white name. Indians are an example of peace and tranquility. They moved to Canada to avoid fighting with the White Americans.
