After seeing some portraits of Native Americans, it is clear to see that they were very weary. They seem as if they are suffering. Seeing pictures like this makes me feel bad for them because they were not treated kindly by the whites. Some white people did not even consider them human and did not consider their thoughts or feelings. It is just cruel that humans could treat other humans that way. Being forced off of their land where generations of their families had lived and being forced to live the same lifestyle as the whites was probably really hard for him. I know that if I were a Native American during those times I would feel the exact same way. I would want to strike back and fight for my own way of life, which is exactly what they tried to do. Overall, the picture above is a dipiction of the Native Americans suffering, and tells us that their fight for their land was very emotionally important to them.
