Source Analysis: Impact of Manifest Destiny on Indigenous Peoples

Source A: A Native American's Perspective on Westward Expansion

"The land we have lived on for generations is being taken from us. Our way of life is being destroyed as settlers push westward, ignoring our rights and traditions. The government and settlers see us as obstacles to progress, but we see ourselves as guardians of the land. Our voices are silenced, and our communities are broken apart. This expansion benefits only a few at the expense of our people and culture." Provenance: Little Turtle, Chief of the Miami Nation, 1830s, speech recorded by a historian.
