My Native American Name

The Native American name I chose was flying squirrel. The first word is flying because I do gymnastics , and diving. Doing some of the skills feels as if I'm flying. Also, the word flying could represent a free spirit. I chose squirrel as the second word because they aren't vicious animals, and I don't consider myself to be a vicious person. Flying squirrel seemed to be the most suitable Native American name.

Native American Portraits

Western immigration was tough on the Indians. They had to leave their areas they had called their own for so long. Western expansion, although it gave many opportunities for the new Americans, it was a terrible experience for the Native Americans. The Indians were eventually forced to leave their reservations after a long time of war. I chose this picture because it symbolizes how Native Americans felt , as if they had just been pushed out of a place where they had every right to stay.
