Dear xxxx,
xxxx I will like to my story from the beginning, My Root and background, I am a Native American from Indian background ...... We are among the first indigenous peoples living within the United States. In 1783, the United States was a new nation of about 3 million people living, for the most part, along the Atlantic seaboard. Native Americans, perhaps numbering around 600,000, controlled most lands west of the Appalachian Mountains. By 1890, a bit more than a century later, the United States stretched from coast to coast and was home to some 66 million people. Only 250,000 Indians remained, most of them living on reservations holding just a fraction of the land they once controlled.
In the century between, waves of western settlers pounded against the borders of Indian lands. Yet the course of events that led to this narrative of conquest was not inevitable. America's first president, George Washington, and his Secretary of War Henry Knox claimed to RESPECT Indian rights and promised to secure Indian lands for white settlement only through TREATY and PURCHASE. Later, politicians and philanthropists also rose to oppose Andrew Jackson's removal policies during the 1830s. Still, by 1840, the great majority of the Eastern Indians had been relocated to lands west of the Mississippi River. And in the second half of the nineteenth century, homesteaders, miners, and railroad companies, assisted by the United States Army, encroached on the lands supposedly set aside for the Indians into perpetuity.
At most every turn, Native Americans found themselves overwhelmed by Anglo-Americans' financial and military resources. But their response to events was neither one-dimensional nor defeatist. Some tried diplomacy. Others turned to religion. Still others tried to deflate white antagonism by embracing the economic and cultural values of their enemies. Some worked the legal system skillfully. Others found success in war. Some even turned philanthropists' well-intentioned but ethnocentric plans for their assimilation into a basis for political organization.
Native Americans suffered a collective tragedy over the course of the nineteenth century. But our stories cannot be simply condensed into one master narrative of defeat and decimation. To understand what happened to "The American Indian," You need to look at the lives of the many Indians––and whites––that contributed to this multi-faceted story.
Native Americans were here first, but those Americans who arrived later have never gotten their story quite right. Even from the moment Columbus stepped off his boat in the Bahamas and called the people he met there "Indios"—meaning people of India—Native Americans have been misrepresented, stereotyped, and simplified. Puritans assumed they were consorting with the devil in the forest. White expansionists branded them ruthless warriors. Even their nineteenth-century defenders often described them as "noble savages."
Thank you for your precious time reading about my root and background, it shows that you have interest in me and you really want me as a good friend or a life partner.
Now let briefly tell you about myself, I am an educated lady, physiological psychology, and love to read. I love nature and spending time positive people. I appreciate honesty and believe that communication is an active part of life. I am single and looking forward to the feeling of inner-peace (not so much freedom).
I have been in a relationship for over 7 years in which giving occurred more than receiving. Lies and deception have No place in an relationship. I am the only child of my parent and I lost my parents sometimes ago in Zimbabwe over land dispute.
As you can see i deserve a man that will always be there as my dad, mum and best friend, i mean Someone who can be honest, trust-worthy, give and receive in equal balance and loves other more like himself, as according to the Holy Bible that says love your neighbors like yourself. And this is the main reason i want you, considering your age and experience in life i believe we can form a super couple.
My interests are Arts/museums, Books/literature, Camping, Dancing, sport, exercising, body fitness , Performing arts, Travelling, singling, swimming etc.
