Title: Council Meeting
1Council Meeting
- From the perspective of your character answer the
following question. In your opinion who is the
real enemy? - Â
2Cheyenne chief
- Who do you think the enemy is? I think it is
Andrew Jackson. He ruined our would by taking our
land and our food. They just took our land
instead of other people's land. He keeps making
treaties with us and then breaking the deals.Â
None of his actions are going to help me save the
lives of my people
3Ute captive
- Who do you think would be the real enemy between
the Arapaho, Cheyenne, and White Men? I would
actually think that the president, Andrew
Jackson, would be because he is taking away our
land just to get gold and is giving us less
land. Even though all the Utes think that we
need the land more than the government does. They
just need it for gold and we need it for shelter
and food, not just for gold! I hope the enemies
will soon give us are land back and not give it
away to the white settlers and let us die!
4Ute Child
- The reason my opinion for who is the biggest
threat is the President Andrew Jackson. He thinks
that we will take the gold and use it for buying
stuff , But to us they are just big rocks! They
don't even have proof that there is even gold on
our LAND! In fact would he really want copper
because that's pretty much all we have on
our land.... maybe. The Ute Chief said, "It's
not fair that we have to be treated like
trash!".Gosh WHAT WERE THEY THINKING! They just
think we are TRASH! They don't even think that we
are smart!
5Cheyenne child
How would you feel if Andrew Jackson made you
move from your homeland to a reservation? To me
the real enemy is Andrew Jackson. My people
didn't have enough food since there isn't a lot
of buffalo anymore. As a child I look around snd
see my family members upset and worried about our
future! Why is this happening?
6Andrew Jackson
- Who do you think? I think it is Anderw Jackson
because he was meancing and made life bad for the
Indians. How would you feel after you made a
tribe move, made them scared, and made life
miserable? I, Andrew Jackson, understand how the
Indians must feel, however the United States
needed to expand and we needed their land. I
gave them other land to live on! It's not like I
left them homeless! I even gave them food
supplies and warm blankets.Â
7Cheyenne captive
Have you ever thought of who is the real enemy?
In my opinion the White men are the real enemy. I
think the real enemy is the White men because
they forced Indians off their land. They would
shoot indians officials. The Indians should have
kept their land because it has all their supplies
to survive. They got there first! They deserve to
keep their land. Â
8Ute Chief
-     Who is the real enemy? The White Man is the
main enemy of the Ute Especially Andrew
Jackson, our president. He should be the one
that is suffering for taking away our land,
because we needed it more than him. He could
have just asked if he could come on our land to
dig for gold. Some white men are nice, but not
all of them!
9Arapaho Warrior
- Who is the real enemy? I think it is Andrew
Jackson. I think it is him because he orders
soldiers to do things they don't want to do. He
kicks Indians of their land. He turns his people
into mean people and also kills people that he
doesn't know. It affects the Arapaho because
their lives are in danger. If he keeps on doing
that soon all the Arapaho will be dead. They
kill us for no reason!! If he keeps on doing
that all Indians will be dead. How would he like
if we did that to him! It would be fabulous to
do that to him. I feel sad all the time because
of him! We would never do that to him, why should
he be able to do that to us? That's why he is a
big problem!   Â
10Ute warrior
- Who is the real enemy? In my opinion it is the
White Man's - president. He let the U.S Government take our
land! It is not - fair! We had it first. WE WANT IT BACK! NOW!
11White soldier      What kind of
chief,soldier,or warrior will be the real enemy?
The real enemy is mypresident, he told me to
get the tribes our that we take the place away
from the tribesthat we could get the gold. So
the real enemy is Andrew Jackson.
12Arapaho Chief
- In my opinion, the real enemy is the White Man.
What did we ever do to them!? That is just MESSED
UP! How would the White Mann like it if we took
away their land? This isn't Project Runway trying
to get the last dress/land! I wish I was the
president. Yah no why? So I could kick him out of
America for 5 months and make him think about
what he has done! JERK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
