Pick a topic.
The topic I selected is the Native American topic. The Native
Americans are people that are indigenous to Americas; these
people lived there before the European colonization. The Native
Americans comprise of a great number of different states, ethnic
groups and tribes most of them continue to endure as political
communities. The Native Americans were also known as
American Indians, Aboriginal People’s, Native Canadians, First
People and Aboriginal Americans.
Choose four specific events related to your topic.

2. The first event between the periods 1877 to 1945 is the killing
of the Crazy Horse. Crazy Horse was a major war chief of the
people of Lakota Sioux who was born in 1842. The event took
place on September 6 1877. The event took place after Crazy
Horse was arrested as rumors were passed that he was planning
to get back to battle and due to his resistance to be jailed, he
was killed. Crazy Horse was taken to jail in Fort Robinson and
it was there that he resisted jailing and was killed. Fort
Robinson was located in Nebraska State in United States central
region (Danver 2015). Before Crazy Horse was arrested and
killed, he had surrendered on May 6 1877 to General George
Crook in Fort Robinson. This was after the assurance they were
allowed to settle with his followers in Powder River country of
Montana. After Crazy Horse resisted imprisonment by an Indian
guard, a soldier using a bayonet thrust murdered him. He was 36
years old; this was historical since the Native Americans knew
Crazy Horse for fighting and defeating the U.S Army. This was
the worst war and to the Native Americans he was their
hero.The second event from 1877 to 1945 was the Northern
Cheyenne Escape. This event led to the Northern Cheyenne
escaped from their reservation due to the poor conditions that
they faced in the reservation, and these conditions included
insufficient food and lack of tents. The Northern Cheyenne
Escape took place from the period of 1878 to 1879. There was
no specific date given for the occurrence of the event. The
escape took place in states such Montana, Oklahoma, Kansas,
South Dakota and Nebraska. The escape was led by the Northern
Cheyenne leaders they included; Old Crow, Morning Star, Wild
Hog and Little wolf. All of these leaders decided to move their
subjects to the north. Once upon a time, the groups were divided
into two parts. The Morning Star was in charge as well as Little
Wolf. However, the group led by Morning Star was harassed
and taken to Fort Robinson in Nebraska. The event was
historical since the groups were divided and they were glad to
have succeeded from the poor conditions they faced in their
reservation.

3. The third event is between 1945 and the present, the event I
chose is the establishment of the Indian Claims Act. The Indian
Claims Act established in 1946, took place August 13 1946 in
the U.S. The Act passed by Congress in the United States was a
sign of the beginning of the judicial relationship between the
Native American and the federal government of the United
States. The purpose of this act was to give the Indian tribes to
forward their claims against the U.S. The Act’s intention was to
stop tribal grievances over the enforcement of a treaty.
The fourth event between the periods 1945 and the present is
the relocation of the American Indians. This was move was
directed to promote employment amongst the American Indians
which took place 1953.The Native Americans were being
relocated to the United Statesrural and urban areas. The
Bureau of Indian Affairs was a group involved in coming up
with the idea of the relocation of the Natives (Olson & Beal
2011). The Native Americans were relocated because rural had
rates of unemployment and the BIA would persuade the Indians
to relocate in large numbers. The action made would be
tempting, but done using housing and job training. The
historical event gave Natives a chance for a better life, as they
could now provide for their families.
Locate two primary sources and two secondary sources.
The first primary source is Ziolkowski, K. (1949). Why Crazy
Horse was chosen by the Native Americans. This was a
handwritten letter by Korczak Ziolkowski that was written in
1949. The letter was titled “Why Crazy Horse was chosen by the
Native Americans", the letter shows the reasons why the Native
Americans choose and believed in Crazy Horse. The letter told
the story of Crazy Horse since he was born till he died in 1877
as he left his wife. This source shows the Crazy Horse killed
event I discussed above. The first secondary source is the
Schmoop. (2016). Native American History Timeline. Retrieved
from http://www.shmoop.com/native-american-
history/timeline.html . It shows the manner in which the
historical events took place among the Native Americans. The

4. source shows all the events I gave above.
The second secondary source is Legends of America. (2003).
Native American Timeline - Page 5. Retrieved from
http://www.legendsofamerica.com/na-timeline5.html. The
source gives the important historical events that took place
among the Native American who were involved, where it took
place and to when did it take place. This gives support to the
events I gave above on the four important historical events.
Write a thesis
The paper shows the important events that took place among the
Native Americans from 1877 to 1945 and all the way to the
present day.
