Book Portfolio: Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee by Dee Brown

In, Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee, the author, Dee Brown, shows how the Native Americans were mistreated by the Europeans and later by the Americans during the civil war era.
The way that the Native Americans varied. It all started way back when Columbus discovered the Indies in 1492. At first, like how most things start, things between the Native Americans and the European explorers were okay and the natives welcomed the Europeans with opened arms and would trade with them and they would even help them.
The theme in history would have to be how the Native Americans were mistreated severely by the European settlers and later by the Americans. This is shown by the author when the author states events throughout American history where the Native Americans were mistreated. For example, when the Europeans were first settling in America, they would, at first, treat the natives with respect and would trade with them and do all sorts of things with them as if they were life long pals and then later they would betray them and steal their stuff and kill them for the newly found land.
This perspective to the theme is important because it reveals what really went on between the Native Americans and the Americans during the Colonial era through the mid to late 1800's.
All in all, I would definitely have to say that the author, Dee Brown, shows how the Native Americans were mistreated by the Europeans and later by the Americans during the civil war era.
