In the “Response to the Delawares’ Complaint”, I found it interesting Canasatego argues, “We conquered you; we made Women of you..” (98). He also claims, “Your Ears are ever open to slanderous Reports about our Brethren; you receive them with as much Greediness as lewd Women receive the Embraces of bad Men..” (99). Does using this as an insult create women as a lesser sex or is being a women just seen as weaker and therefore something that can be ‘conquered’? - Rory Reese | In the “Response to the Delawares’ Complaint”, I found it interesting Canasatego argues, “We conquered you; we made Women of you..” (98).

| + | In "will" I was surprised that a women in the year 1749 was allowed to hold land. I found it interesting the way that she wrote up her will. Its apparent that this Algonkian women is a believer in Christianity and she makes it clear in the beginning of her will. Its apparent that this women was very wealth so I think it was probably pretty rare for a women back then to hold property.- Bryan Quintana | ||
| + | By the early 18th century much of the Native Americans lands were taken by the English. To cope with this many Native Americans turned to alcohol but there were others who turned to Christianity and education as a hope for survival. I tip my hat to these Natives who didnt give up and had faith that one day things would get better for them. I think that without Native Americans the new world would of expanded alot slower.-Bryan Quintana | ||
I noticed throughout the readings that some of the Native Indians were embracing European culture and to some extent prospering,as did Naomai Omaush in her account "Will" in 1749. What was the reasoning of the Natives embracing European culture when it was destroying their culture? Calloway states it was their best chance for survival and to become protected servants of the King of England. Can anyone elaborate or justify why they think these acts were of submission or brilliant diplomacy on the part of the Natives? --Nick Scott-- | I noticed throughout the readings that some of the Native Indians were embracing European culture and to some extent prospering,as did Naomai Omaush in her account "Will" in 1749.
