Abstract
In American History, the era between 1820 and 1840 has been described from time to time as an expanding of democratization. Some historians have even referred to it as the Era of the Common man. The paper shows that Andrew Jackson embodies a fair amount of this as his heroic efforts on a number of war fronts helped to protect the democracy in which he so fervently believed. The paper argues, however, that the displacement of the American Indians, particularly the Cherokees, deemed to be in the way of American progress was a tragic occurrence during this same period.

Abstract
The paper examines how North American society has rejected Native American cultural values, such as resource conservation and respect for the environment. The paper explains how tragically, mainstream society has not only rejected Native American cultural values, it has rejected Native Americans themselves, for their social and cultural traditions are incompatible with prevailing Western materialistic values and attitudes. The paper maintains that this has had unfortunate consequences, for such conduct is not only racist, it is environmentally irresponsible.
From the Paper
"For more than three-hundred years, North American society has rejected Native American cultural values such as resource conservation and respect for the environment. Tragically, mainstream society has not only rejected Native American cultural values, it has rejected Native Americans themselves, for their social and cultural traditions are incompatible with prevailing Western materialistic values and attitudes. This has had unfortunate consequences, for such conduct is not only racist, it is environmentally irresponsible. Historically, North American society is a reflection of the traditional value system of northern European immigrants, a value system that is characterized by a strong belief in Anglo-Saxon political ideologies, economic competition and rugged individualism."

Abstract
This paper looks at how the colonizing forces of North America, specifically the US government has continually been in conflict with the native peoples for the last four hundred years, focusing on land rights and usage. Issues discussed are relocation to polluted and toxic land, mining on native lands and re-appropriation of reservations for resources.
From the Paper
"One of the major issues, and there are many, facing Native American Indians today is that of land usage and availability in many parts of the US. From the first contact with colonial explorers and settlers, the native peoples of the Americas have been fighting a losing battle with the white forces of power. What seems to be a simple negotiation of land and space is actually a complex series of issues that ultimately decide who has a right to live and in what way. These issues are in no way limited to European colonialism of the Americas, but for this paper, the writer focuses on the problems inherent in land rights in what is now the United States."

Abstract
This paper evaluates the alternatives, which are available for members of the Native American population that face alcoholism in their daily lives. The author anticipates that these problems are difficult to overcome due to the massive distrust and apprehension of other people, both within and beyond the Native American culture. The paper relates that, within Native American communities, it is expected that there are varying degrees of support for this complex problem of alcoholism.
From the Paper
'Native Americans are a unique group of individuals that possess their own distinct culture, one that has experienced tremendous turmoil and strife over the years. In many instances, Native Americans have faced much adversity within their personal and social lives, and the exclusion of this culture from many standard offerings in America has led to considerable weaknesses amongst personalities. In many cases, Native Americans are not able to face their personal and social problems without the assistance of drugs or alcohol as a means of coping with reality. Within Native American communities, it is expected that there are varying degrees of support for these processes, and many individuals within these groups possess a variety of complex problems and circumstances.'

From the Paper
"The image of Native peoples, in the novels "Tay John", "The Vanishing Point", and The Scorched-Wood People as well as in the play "The Occupation of Heather Rose", is complex and variable. The patterns of systemic racism, reverse racism and the discrimination, which flow from them, are interwoven with social structures of which the oppressed very often are a part."

Abstract
This paper examines the conversion of Native Americans to Christianity within Massachusetts as asserted by the Puritans. The author points out that, from the beginning, the religious refugees from Europe into the New World, the majority of whom ironically had left England because they were religious or otherwise social outcasts, attempted to make this world a reflection of their own ideals. The paper relates that their most intense focus for religious conversion (and thus, promulgation) were the Native Americans.
From the Paper
"European religious assertion upon Native Americans is a fact of American history. From the beginning, the religious refugees from England, the Netherlands, Germany, and Spain who fled to the New World had attempted to make their world a reflection of their own ideals. Ironically, the majority of colonists left England because they were religious or social outcasts. Instead of seeing themselves as the meek, once "freed" to the North American continent, they began to assert themselves in grand fashion. While their efforts occasionally changed another's mind, their most intense focus for religious conversion (and thus, promulgation) were the Native Americans. It is the intent of this paper to examine the conversion of Native Americans to Christianity within Massachusetts over the course of time. The Puritans were an agricultural people. Initially, all successful colonizing efforts from the "old" world were agricultural. "
