Wooden Leg was a Northern Cheyenne warrior most known for fighting at the Battle of Little Bighorn with the United States. Like many other Native Americans, Wooden Leg and his people were driven out of their land and forced to assimilate into European Culture entitled “Act of Sadness” Wooden Leg uses in my opinion tear jerker vocabulary to convey the hopelessness he feels to the readers for example when he said “a plant being uprooted from the ground” it shows the aggressive and unmerciful ways of ”Our Great Nation” due to the forced assimilation of Native Americans and their culture.
“Outdated” this is America’s excuse for basically tearing cultures apart limb by limb because there outdated. Forced assimilation should be against the law cultures and countries shouldn’t be forced to comply with those of an outsider they should be let be and thrive or starve on there on notion as they can fully take blame in there downfall rushed and forced demise on our part shows our barbaric nature “Greed” one of the 7 deadly sins has plagued this country since its beginning. Outdated culture? Outdated judicial system? Or Real content happiness? What ticked America off? America is power driven not intelligence or religiously driven they are power driven that’s why so many things have become corrupt the church, the president, everyday citizens have been given this unjustifiable authority to hate others so deeply that’s its hard to imagine.
An act of sadness as Chief Joseph explains his beliefs in how nothing that grows from the earth should be completely destroyed and should never be over used to preserve and prolong life on earth these beliefs in that time where no existent in American culture as I stated before they our power money and greed driven therefore the farmer with the biggest crop is givin more fame money and power then the others which starts competition because no man wants to be controlled by another man there’s no equality the power pyramid controls America and its people.
In conclusion, Outdated and non modernized culture may be whats best to be content and be happy is that to hard to believe. Message to America why harm the ones that mostly populate your ”Great Nation”. Acts of Violence are only used by those who can’t keep up intellectually.
