Reservation......
what does this mean to you? When i hear the word reservation i immediately think of something or someone being held back. Being "reserved". That is essentially what reservations are isn't it? It is a group of people that lived in North America and were kicked off by white settlers. What did they get in return for giving up their land? They got small reservations with bad land that made it hard for them to grow crops. Native Americans were here first so why should they get the short end of the stick?
The colonists and settlers from across the sea would not have survived in this new land had it not been for the help of the Native Americans. But just like most humans when we no longer need the Native Americans we kicked them off their land and said that they could still have their own land. They got reservations. It is like kicking someone out of their house and making them live in the doghouse in the backyard. You reserve them from living the life that they want to live.
