Description
Looking across the broad scope of human history, one could effectively argue that the systematic removal of the Native American from his homelands has been one of the greatest atrocities ever committed by Western idealists. While it is clear that the motivations for such acts were promulgated by the western belief that society could be better served though the exploitation of nature and the advancement of capitalism, the reality that has been perpetuated for the Native American is one in which culture, social organization, and everyday life have been thrown into disarray. Although many Native Americans have worked to preserve their heritage and traditions, even in the wake of being herded onto reservations, in actuality, much of what has been distinctly known throughout history as symbolic of Native American culture has all but been destroyed.

numbered in the millions. They had a clan-based system of governance. Each village comprised
of thirty to sixty families. The gender roles of the Cherokee were developed, with the men doing
