The Immigration Question

Us Americans have a tendency to assume a lot. As that is the case, we have always assumed that this country we live in belonged to us, and that we have always had the right to live here. However that isn't the case. The subject of the article "The Indian Question" really angered me. It spoke about the way we handled the movement of the Native Americans. In the process we managed to ruin thousands of years of culture and tradition. This is more frustrating when taking into account the fact that we are all immigrants to this country, and that they were here first. This country has been more or less built on immigration, but in the process we nearly wiped out an entire culture of people. Yes, I still say that I am an American, and I do love my country. However, it makes me angry whenever I sit and realize what we did to get the land that I call home.
