Question

Compare and contrast the following two passages, excerpts from the historical

Answer 1

The specific details emphasized in each account of the removal of the Native Americans from their ancestral lands are as follows:

"Trail of Tears: Our Removal"

In Linda Hogan's poem, "Trail of Tears: Our Removal," the author emphasized that:

• It was prophetically stated that the unmarked lands would be taken by force from the Native Americans.
• The only respect that the Natives paid to their land during the evictions was to pour out tears of agony.
• The tears could not restore the lands deprived through the force of war to their original owners.
• Now, the Native Americans must square up to their thrust fate.
• They cannot hope to restore their past as they are gone forever, and justice has evaporated from the earth.

"Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee"

On the part of Dee Brown's "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee," the details show that:

• There was a history of calculated American expansionism against the Native Americans.
• Native Americans were displaced through forced relocation and wars (which ensued between the natives and the United States federal government).
• The Indian wars that are recorded in American history books do not reflect the civilizations' missions or the manifest destiny of European settlers, but are illusions of oppression.

• Native Americans were unjustly and totally subjugated.

Thus, we can conclude that the historical text "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: by Dee Brown and the poem "Trail of Tears: Our Removal" by Linda Hogan have reversed the perceptions that Europeans settlers came to America for the civilization of the Natives.
