"A Spirited Resistance: The North American Indian Struggle for Unity, 1745-1815"
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page review of the Book by author Gregory Evans Dowd. The author of this paper emphasizes the point that while many Native American leaders had hope of effecting a final victory over the whites that had invaded their lands, the "militant nativist" message delivered by prophets like Neolin (mid-eighteenth Century Deleware) and Tenskwatwa (early nineteenth Century Shawnee, brother of Tecumseh) was rejected by many of the Native peoples. The Native people had suffered tremendously at the hands of the whites. That suffering was not easily forgotten. Even when they were given new hope by new leaders, many were reluctant to confront the whites in yet another battle. They had come to believe in their hearts that the white tide was unstoppable and that by trying to stop it they would only sacrifice more Native lives. No additional sources are listed.

A Century of Religious Evolution among Native Americans
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page
paper discussing how the issue of religion among Native Americans has come full circle in the
past century. The federal government officially banned some tribes' most sacred religious rites -
the potlatch of the Cree was subversive because it redistributed wealth among members - forbade
the use of native languages and removed entire tribes from their ancestral lands. White
missionaries were certain that the "savages" had to be civilized before they could be evangelized,
and did not take the time to realize how similar native religion and Christianity were. Some
groups are returning to the traditional ways; others are blending tradition with Christianity; still
others persecute the Christians in their midst in retribution for the centuries of persecution at the
hands of Christians. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
