  11. Treatment of Natives • Assimilation • “Instead of killing them all, let’s just force them to act like us.” • They must give up their traditions, language, culture, clothing style, way of life… everything (but don’t worry because it is for their own good). • Dawes Act • Passed by Congress in 1887 • Focused on trying to “Americanize” the natives • Breaks up reservations and redistributes the land to individuals.

  12. Bison • About 65 million in 1800 • Way of life foundation for many tribes • Food, clothing, fuel, sport, homes… • Slaughtered by settlers, soldiers, tourists, fur traders… • By 1890 fewer than 1000 bison left. • What happens to those that depended on the bison?

  13. Property Claims • Even though the land West of the Mississippi was supposed to be for Native American use white settlers continued to push farther and farther West. • Why? • Gold, Adventure, Tabula Rasa (clean slate), Land, Grass is always greener… • Justification? • Racism • Different ideas about land claims

  16. What are mining towns like? • Dirty • Thrown together • Mostly Male • Full of bars and brothels • Temporary

  17. Vaqueros and Cowboys • American cowboys copied almost everything from Spanish vaqueros in Mexico • Chaparreras=chaps • Bronco caballo=bronco • Mestenos=mustangs • Rancho=ranch • The entire way of life that we think is so “American” was borrowed from somewhere else.

  18. Cowboys vsFarmers • Herd cattle to railroad stations to be shipped all over the country • Want wide open ranges for their cattle to graze on and be herded across • Long hours • Died down because of overgrazing, extended bad weather, invention of barbed wire… • Turned to large fenced in ranches. • Use cows to make dairy products like butter and cheese • Want fenced ranges and fields to keep their animals where they belong and out of their crops • Long hours
