Module 7 Short Responses – Question 1
Name three historical lenses that you could apply to gain a fuller picture of the
relationship between Natives and white settlers. Be sure to respond to this question in no
more than one sentence, using proper grammar.
The three historical lense you could apply to gain a fuller picture of the relationship between
the natives and the white settlers would be the economic, political, and social/cultural lenses.
The economic lens should be used due to the acquisition of land to build to Trans-Alaskan
pipeline was the greatest economic endeavor in U.S. history. The political lens should be used
due to the ongoing conflict between the Natives and the American government. The social
lens should be utilized due to the fact that we are looking at a historical event involving
America's Aboriginal people.
Module 7 Short Responses – Question 2
Revise the thesis statement at the top of this page to reflect a more complex view of the
relationship between Natives and white settlers. Your revised thesis statement should be
longer than one sentence.
During the 19th century, conflicts arose between the Natives and the white settlers. This can
be attributed to one cause alone, disputes over land. Native Americans were forced to give up
their lands to white settlers who were moving westward in search of new land and
opportunities. This led to a series of conflicts between the two groups as they fought over
land ownership and control.

Name one short-term consequence and one long-term consequence of the alliance
between the Wampanoag and the Pilgrims.
One short-term consequence of the alliance between the Wampanoag and the Pilgrims would
be the binding contract between the two parties referred to as a "mutual defense alliance" to
combat their common enemies. One long-term consequence of the alliance between the
Wampanoag and the Pilgrims would be the strained relations between the parties. After so
many Englishmen joined the fray, the power shifted in favor of the English. This proved to be
disastrous for the Native's hundreds of natives were killed and hundreds more were taken
captive and sold into slavery.

My understanding of the historical event in my essay has changed as a result of my research
dramatically. I was able to go back and apply different lenses to my event to better understand
how the events tied together to give me the bigger picture. There really wasn't a time I was
confused or had any misconceptions. However, one instance of a misconception or a wrong
idea I had about My topic has since been corrected after researching and writing about it
would be that all Alaskan natives would be covered under the Land claims act but that is not
the case.

Module 7 Short Responses – Question 8
Agree or disagree with the following thesis statement: "The Treaty of New Echota was
invalid, and the National Party was correct to oppose it." Cite at least three historical
facts that support your position.
I agree that the Treaty of New Echota was invalid, and the National Party was correct to
oppose it. It is considered invalid because first and foremost "The National Cherokee Council
claimed the treaty was invalid because the Principal Chief did not sign it and the Cherokee
that did were not authorized to." (Records of Rights, n.d.) Secondly, "A majority of the
Cherokee Nation argued that the Treaty of New Echota was invalid as the United States
signed the treaty with a minority party that was not recognized as the leaders and voice of the
Cherokee people." (Zotigh, 2019) Finally, The National Cherokee Council claimed that the
treaty was invalid because the Principal Chief did not sign it and the Cherokee that did were
not authorized to.
