Social Studies: Found Poem 201112

After researching the history of Native American tribes as they are forced from their lands, students create a found poem. Each student focused on a particular theme and took bits and pieces of their notes and combined them to create their poem. The aim of the project is to give students enough background knowledge about what happened to indigenous peoples in order to understand their problems in society today.

When posting follow the instructions below:

Click on the word "comment" below this post, then in the "post a comment" box write or paste your found poem.

When done writing pull down the "comment as" menu and choose "Name / URL" (make sure not to write anything on the URL line. Then write your 1st initial, last name, and ENGLISH mod # (for example: G. Andree: mod 1). Then click on "post comment" to submit your Found Poem to me.

    Slaves
    Murdereres
    they faught savagely
    NOT human
    Poverty

    Cruel Life of Native American

    People thought they were going EXTINCT,
    So they took pictures,
    Like they were ANIMALS AT THE ZOO.

    People thought they needed to be Civilized,
    And SEPERATE.

    They were PRESENTED IN MOVIES,
    As HORRIBLE KILLERS,
    As the VILLAIN,
    As FIERCE,
    And MEANER THAN SIN.

    People were CRUEL to them,
    They wanted to make
    The Native Americans HUMAN,
    By KILLING THE INDIAN
    INSIDE them;
    They wanted everyone
    To be HUMAN.

    Even though BAD things were said,
    Native Americans were PROUD,
    And people believe
    That their culture
    MAY COME BACK

    We are NOT these things!
    Four thousand silent graves,
    Alone.
    Depressing,
    Terrified.
    Didn't have say,
    Not allowed to speak native tongue!
    Segregated!
    Vanishing!
    Not blood thirsty savages,
    Inhumane,
    Primitive,
    Uncivilized!
    History is written by the winners?
    NO!
    Forced to leave the Mississippi.
    Vanishing!
    Four thousand silent graves.
    Trail of tears.
    We are NOT these things!
    We are,
    Calm.
    Proud.

    A trail of exile
    is a trail of death
    the red men were
    traditional
    ceremonial
    they were hopeful and wise
    the white men

    Indian Holocaust

    “Your parents don’t want you.”
    “You shouldn’t be mad, you should be thankful.”

    Like it was a favor.

    Portrayed us as savages.
    Burned our houses.
    Took away our children.
    Executed our culture.

    Like it was a favor.

    Faces.
    Treated like animals.
    Preconception.
    Revolting.

    Like it was a favor.



    Sufferings were awful.

    Sleep without fire.

    22 killed in one night.

    4,000 bodies= one silent, unmarked grave.

    Spit on me.

    Like we needed your “favors.”

    Natives- Treated like dirt.
    Shot more; white man always wins.

    Natives- Taught to "live properly"?
    They took away the language.
    "Kill the Indian in him, and save the man"?

    Natives- Treated like monsters.
    Bad influence? Made unhappy and ungrateful?

    Natives- Being held. The emotions.
    Angry
    Miserable
    Frustrated
    Terrified
    Disgusted
    Never live in pride.
