In the 1800's the Native American or Indians were mistreated by the American.When the indians surrender to the Americans to go to the reservations. They had to change some of their culture for examplie their names, the way they dress and their relgious dance. They gave up a lot of their culture to live in the lie the American gave them by not giving the money and their land.
Before Americans taking the Native American land they believe on Wakan Tanka this was their god they believe he was the creator of the world. They would hunt for buffalo to get meat and use it skin for clothing. When the American's came to the Indian to take their land by tricking them offering them money. Indians were forced to give up their land because if they didn't gave up their land. Americans could have killed more Indians and take their land.
After the Indians surrender because they didn't have supplies to survive they gave their land to the Americans. American let them live in a reservation were they will be given food, clothe and a place to live but they could not leave that reservation. Indians had to change their name to Christian name so they could be called and be understand. They wouldn't hunt the animals freely. Animals were surrounded by fences were they didn't have defense to cover themselves. Bravery was really important for the Native Americans they had to prove it to be respected like Sitting Bull did by being the last Indian to surrender to the Americans to live in the reservation.
Native Americans were living in a nightmare were they were given rare disease at that time and they did not have good doctor. After changing their clothe and most importantly changing them into Christian's. Changing their way of believe. Making them alcoholics with their medicine. And they are scared of leaving the reservation they don't want to risk of not having supplies.
The Indians invented a way to communicate and Americans not understanding. The Native American who invented this was named Wovoka. This religion was named the Ghost Dance. It purpose was that the white race would be destroyed so the Indians or Native Americans would rise up again. When the american learned about the meaning of this religious dance American wouldn't allow it. It was not allowed to believe in this land Indians could not do anything but be like a puppet for the American.
In the end Indians were controlled by the Americans they were like puppets. They had to live the American's showed them. Also Indians wont leave the reservation because they are scared of losing their supplies for surviving. Still today the Native Americans culture is in trouble. They are not so much Indians left.
In my opinion American should do something to protect this culture before its to late maybe they will regret if this culture is lost.

My Family's immigration
My family is from Puerto Rico we are today part of the United State even though some people don't know. Puerto Rico is located in the Caribbean it is a small island we are NOT the same as Mexican people our culture is different.
The only place were my family have migrated is to the United States my aunt is from Puerto Rico he moved to the United State it was supposed to only go over there and study so he could have a good job and come back to Puerto Rico but he like it in the U.S. and stay there to live.I have visit him a couple of time and have had a lot of fun and laughs.I have always like how he treats everyone with kindness no matter how big the problem.
My aunt have an adopted son he is from Guatemala .He has Maya culture he is nice he is very happy with my aunt.When I first met him he was shy but then we had a lot of fun.I can remember one day he told me that he wasn't scared. I asked him why and he told me he told me because he have God always by his side.He told me that he like to stay with my aunt he is a happy person and I will treat him as part of my family no matter what people say.
Obama Idea for Immigration Process
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEo2Vhgf4AM&feature=relmfu
This is president Obama looking a way to tell people to make a better immigration process.I think if he makes good laws it could turn into a good process but it has to be strict no fooling around. I think that Obama pull this of still the immigrants would be discriminated.But still he should not give up this is building a country so it could be like a family.This is something important to build a strong country.
People disagree but I don't I think this is a good idea to make a better and stronger immigration process for the future.This process might even make history for the United State this could make different cultures get along and stop the discrimination to stop the violence.

My Journal
November 1,1872
I am cleaning and rubbing my feet after a hard working day at my dad's little farm crops are all dried out my feet hurt and they feel burned .Because I don't have shoes but I still like to help my dad. I wish I had really cold water to put my feet in but the water is dirty and my feet could get infected. Dad saw me with my feet hurt and said to go home and rest I was sad because I couldn't help. When I saw Dad get home with a big smile in his face. The first thing he said was Agostino get your mom I have good news. I got mom into the room and dad said we were moving to the United States I didn't know what this meant but I could see Dad smiling and that made me so happy.
November 2, 1872
My family is planning what to do with our house and little farm that we have to pack our things to move a place were Dad told me we could live in a nicer way. I'm packing all my clothe when I was packing I found a picture of a person that used to talk anything I wanted and she would give me advice of anything I needed. She is my grandma called Amelia she told me to do what made me happy no matter what other people say. I said to her that supporting my family is what made me happy. I could remember that day I was 10 years old.

Italian Immigration
During 1870 italian started to immigrate to the United State.They immigrate to get better jobs because their economy in italy was low. They didnt have jobs they were not educated in school.In 1900 a lot of Italian immigrated to the United state to get jobs or get better jobs.They have to risk the little they have to move to the United State to hope for the best of their family.
Italian immigrants were desperate they had the little they had to move to United State. They thought this land was the best thing in live when really it wasn't. Italian's had to travel thinking about getting jobs in their mind to support their families. Maybe some Italian felt sad of letting their family behind so they could go work to support them. Some Italian could have been so desperate that they didn't think of not being allowed to move to the United State.
After long hours of traveling and being allowed to move to the United State they had to find a place to stay.Most Italians moved to mid Atlantic states.They had to find jobs that were mostly jobs other people didn't want they were risky or dirty jobs like sewer cleaning.The sad thing about this that Italian children had to work at early age risking their live to support their families.Children had to sacrifice their education for working a risky job.
Immigration to the United State today is a big thing today especially the illegal immigrants they are being discriminated for moving to the United State illegally. Its unfair but the United State made discriminate s they could protect the country. I don't blame either they are both so they could have a good live.I hope in the future immigration problem can be solved so we all live together like a big family learning from each.
