Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee Summary
By: Jaxon
In the beginning of Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee, Christopher Columbus and his crew sail overseas looking for India, but find themselves in the Americas. Not long after arrival, Christopher Columbus and his crew find Native Americans and their villages. In 1620, new colonists came and found the Natives. The Natives and the Colonists made peace and war. The Natives and the white men started many wars and battles over land, people, and religion. Some of the wars started with the migrations of the Natives to more land. Many famous Natives such as Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, Geronimo, Little Crow, and Big Eagle were treated horribly and threatened to be killed if they did not move to the required reservation, which had poor soil and cattle. The Natives just had to keep trying and maybe get a victory over the British and a few Spanish.
Some of the rights that were violated in Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee were freedom of speech, equal rights, freedom of religion, and right to a free trial. Freedom of speech was violated in this book, because the Native Americans were almost always unable to even speak without getting hurt or killed. Equal rights were violated, because the Natives were not treated the same as the white men and were usually discriminated out of important things involving them. The freedom of religion was violated, due to the fact that some to most Natives were forced to become Christians. Finally, the right to free trial was violated, because the Natives were not treated right in court and forced to be punished most of the time without a trial.
