Oppression and Resilience Faced by Native Americans in the United States
The Nature of the Oppression Experienced by the Group
Native Americans, often known as American Indians or First Nations people, are a diverse collection of Indigenous Americans who have endured ongoing oppression. These forms of oppression have shaped their communities for millennia. One of the main types of oppression is land dispossession (Burnette & Figley, 2016). Native Americans lived in huge territories, each with its own culture, traditions, and lifestyle. European colonization gradually encroached on and took their ancestral territories. Native Americans were expelled by Manifest Destiny, which claimed a divine right to push westward (Burnette & Figley, 2016). Native communities were forcibly relocated from their lands, causing economic hardship, cultural breakdown, and suffering.
Another major part of Native American oppression was forced relocation- this violence is shown in the Trail of Tears, where the Cherokee Nation was forced into the Indian Territory. These forced marches killed thousands, demonstrating the human cost of such actions (Liddell et al., 2021). Relocations damaged tribal structures, communities, and land-based culture; cultural censorship has been pervasive and sinister (Liddell et al., 2021). Boarding schools forced Native American youth to assimilate and were used to eradicate their languages, traditions, and spiritual practices. This cultural attack targeted Native tribes' identity and resiliency.
Native American experiences are rooted in discrimination, poverty, unemployment, and poor healthcare and education prevail. Negative perceptions and bias perpetuate inequity in interactions with non-Native people and institutions (Liddell et al., 2021). The US has oppressed Native Americans through land confiscation, forced displacement, cultural suppression, and prejudice. Native American communities continue to strive for self-determination and sovereignty and face health and socioeconomic inequities due to these injustices (Liddell et al., 2021). Addressing structural challenges that impact Native Americans and working toward justice and fairness for Indigenous communities requires understanding this history of oppression.
Self-Determination and Sovereignty
Native Americans have always fought for self-determination and sovereignty. The U.S. government has
