Abstract:
During the nineteenth century, the federal government forced natives to move from their ancestral homes to remote territories in the central and western United States. The Government considered Native Americans to be a long-term problem. The military would create a bureaucratic system intended to control every aspect of life for indigenous nations. As white people began to migrate west, they would cheat the natives out of their land which caused tension between the groups. As a result of this hostile takeover, the federal government made pledges to the Native Americans to make amends for the wrongdoing. To help improve the quality of life for the Natives, strategies were created intended to train them in life skills, money management, and assimilation into White American culture. The voices of Native Indians would be notoriously omitted from historical accounts which would not properly detail their experiences during this period. This historical study filled the gap in research caused by those omissions by examining the lives of two Native American students; Nellie Carey and Richard Davis, lived, worked, and studied far from their families and homes. Carey and Davis’s biographical sketches give Native Indians an important historical voice that speaks of their resilience and survival in the face of odds endemically present in federal policies towards American Indians.
