Native American Portrait

How Bigfoot's Body Froze

On December 23, Bigfoot and his followers headed south because they had a feeling that they where going to be hunted and killed. While they where headed south Bigfoot got sick and it slowed them down, December 28 the white soldiers found Bigfoot and his people. Bigfoot let his followers be taken away, except a guy named Black Coyote he put up a fight to not be taken away, and that's when one of the white soldiers fired an open unnamed fire and that's how the massacre started. Bigfoot was trying to get out of his bed when he got shot in the head, and after the massacre there was a really long blizzard, but when the white soldiers came back they found Bigfoot's body frozen sitting halfway p like he was ring to reach for something. 

How People Got Buried 

After the massacre the white soldiers came back o bury everyone that they killed, when they buried the people they had one mass grave. There was 146 people buried in one grave, and out of the 350 Native Americans 250 died.

The Scene After The Battle

During the massacre the white soldiers had no mercy. They shot and killed everyone and everything in sight including babies, dogs and horses. 

Conditions on the Reservations

The conditions on the reservations where not good at all. As you can see they didn't have real houses so it got very cold in the winter. They also got very little food to eat, they weren't treated very fair.

Naive American Name

In some traditions young native Americans would venture off on their own to find theirselves, after they would do that they would make up a new name for themselves to fit their own personal style. If I was to go off and rename myself I would probably name myself cheerful kangaroo. I would name myself that for many reasons, one of them being that I'm a cheerleader, I've been a cheerleader since I was 6 so pretty much all my life. So it makes sense that I'm cheerful. Another reason I would name myself that is because 90% the time I'm happy and positive. I came up with the kangaroo part because a kangaroo is my favorite animal, I find them so fascinating the way they stand, walk and especially the way they carry their babies, so it would be cool to be named after one. Also I am always jumping around and full of energy just like a kangaroo. Those are some of the many reasons why I chose the name I did.

Technology Then and Now

     Technology has come a long way. During the Civil War there was three invention of new technology, the telegram, the railroads, and the telephone. Now, we have so much more technology which has resulted in new and improved ways for people to get from one place to another and get in touch with people. We now have computers and internet which have improved telegram because we now can type an email and click one button, then the person with receive the email within a minute after sending it. Railroads have been improved by cars and airplanes. Cars now can get distance places in a reasonable amount of time, airplanes can get you long distances in short time by flying. The telephone has been improved by having small portable cell phones. Cell phones now offer services like texting, calling, browsing the internet, games for your enjoyment. Cell phones have helped a lot because we can just send short messages via text which is faster and easier than picking up the phone and calling. Also, they have GPS built in which help us with direction so we do not get lost. That is how new technology has changed earlier inventions.
