Essay --

Throughout history, industrialism by the west (i.e. England, France, and Spain) has led to many conflicts among them and the indigenous, internal, people whom lived there. One indigenous group of people affected by western imperialism is the Native Americans in North America. The Europeans that settled onto the New World were confronted by Native Americans, and were faced with violent conflicts. These conflicts led to a belief that all Native Americans are savages as well as heathens (Democracy, 2012). This led to the Europeans to start to shovel in Native Americans, or kick them off of their land and place them onto reservations. Reservations were usually small and unusable land. But, other times, the chief was forced to sign treaties with the Europeans. These treaties usually declared that the Europeans had a right to be on the land, and if they were allowed to have some land as well as do colonize there, no conflict would occur. Yet, later the treaties were signed, the Europeans and Native Americans still had violent conflicts (Democracy, 2012). Today, there are very little Native Americans left in North America. Some of them are very poor, hardly some of them are rich due to the casinos they throw within the reservations upon which they live. The treatment of these people original was harsh as well as cruel, and there is indicate of that today due to the low population of Native Americans within North America. Another group of indigenous people that have been wrongly treated is the native people of Africa. The indigenous people of Africa were taken over by Western European nations without them knowing. This was because, these western nations had all divided Africa into nations based on their natural resources at a meetin... ...a is also, in association with other organizations that are attempting to assist the ancient people of Australia (Australia, 2013). The Oxfam Australia organization has done much in the way of educating the con tinent of Australia, and the aboriginal youth within Australia, in order to make the aboriginal culture as a whole strong and to have a more real life as well.Australia had been imperialized by the British for their natural resources, and had used the aboriginal people there as well. They took their land, their peoples lives and their way of life, for Britains own gain. The aboriginal population has gone down due to these events, but with the help of organizations like NACCHO, and Oxfam Australia, the aborigines are able to make an attempt to regrow their population. They will also, humble to keep hold as well as reteach their cultural beliefs.
