While looking over all of the postings on here, I feel that Native Americans are viewed differently than other minority groups in the United States. For instance with Sam’s question, I feel that the case would have been different if it was another minority group involved. I think the case would have gotten more attention, and it definitely more media attention. I think that Native American groups don’t get as much attention as other groups, possibly because of how they were treated in the past, and people’s current feelings towards this group. Somebody in class mentioned that the Red Power movement might not have been as well known, because of the history with Native Americans, and this feeling could possibly be why many people don’t like to discuss, or recognize this group. Since people may feel guilty about how Native Americans were treated in the past, they may be ignored or passed by in the media when it comes to big cases and events such as the one mentioned in class.
