Essay in the subject Cultural Studies - Miscellaneous, , language: English, abstract: The natives of America, the so-called "e;red skins"e; were expelled by the settlers. The settlers of America had come to America for different reasons. They pushed the Indians away from their hunting grounds. The Indians were imprisoned, sent into reservations. Two kinds of living, two cultures clashed. The immigrated Europeans, the Whites, practiced agriculture and cared for cattle. The Indians of Northern America mainly lived on hunting and fishing. The settlers who wanted to live on agriculture and cattle needed land for their purposes. Because the white settlers were militarily superior, they were able to expel the Indians from their origin hunting tracks. The last important battle, lost by the Indians became a massacre, known as "e;Wounded Knee"e;. The battle of Wounded Knee occurred on December 29, 1890. Only a few Indians survived.
