Needless to say, the Native Americans resented this, which led to their hostile and brutal treatment by the Spanish.4 However, the settlers wanted more land and in 1838, US President Andrew Jackson ordered the removal of the Cherokees from the land they had lived on for centuries.5 The peaceful Navajos made a treaty with the US government, but yet again, the government insisted on moving them from their land. Their resistance to removal led to the destruction of their crops, sheep and villages by the soldiers.6 In 1980, the US Supreme Court ordered the government to pay about $ 105 million to the Sioux tribes for land taken illegally.7 They were fearless fighters and attacked other Native American tribes and stole their livestock.8 In the 19th century, the governments preferable solution to the Indian “problem” was to force tribes to inhabit specific areas of land called reservation. Much of the reservation land was of poor quality. Poverty and joblessness was the result, and is still a problem for many Native Americans today.Activity 41 the Cherokees 2 the Cherokees 3 the Navajos 4 the Navajos 5 the Sioux 6 the Sioux 7 the Sioux 8 the Apaches 9 the Apaches 10 the Apaches 11 the ApachesExplanationT: Now Ill play the tape twice for you.

Then explain the question(s) they still dont understand.T: Do you have any questions about these sentences?S: I don t understand why “were” is used before the subject “they” in the statement “Only in 1868, after four terrible years were they allowed to return to their land”. Would you please explain the reason to me?T: Good question. When “only” is used to modify an adverbial that is placed at the beginning of a sentence, partial inversion is used. That is to say, an auxiliary verb or a modal verb es before the subject and the rest of the predicate verb es after. If there is no auxiliary or modal verb, “do”, “does” or “did” should be added. We can change the sentence into one with a normal order: After four terrible years they were allowed to return to their land only in 1868. Any questions?S: No.Step III Cultural corner Get students to go on reading about Native Americans.ReadingT: Just now weve read about the history of the Native Americans. Who can tell us something about the history of the Cherokees?S: Let me have a try. The Cherokees were one of the biggest Native American tribes and at first; they made peace with the white settlers. However, the settlers wanted more land and in 1838, US President Andrew Jackson ordered the removal of the Cherokees from the land they had lived on for centuries. In the winter of 18381839, 14，000 Cherokees were forced to march 2,000 kilometers to new “Indian Territory”. About 4,000 died from hunger and disease. Today this terrible journey is remembered as the Trail of Tears. T: Very good. US President Andrew Jacksons order led to the miserable experience of the Cherokees. Do you want to know more about it? S: Yes. T: Now turn to page 69. First look through the brief introduction Tell me, who wrote it and what it is about.S: It was written by an American soldier in 1890, on his 80th birthday, about his experience as a young man. S: He witnessed the execution of the most brutal order in the history of American warfare. T: Well done! Look at the two questions on top of the passage Next, read the passage and answer them. Clear?S: Yes!After about 3 minutes, check the answers.T: Whod like to try the first question?S: Let me have a try. The Cherokee Indians were treated cruelly by the soldiers. The helpless Cherokees were arrested and dragged from their homes, and driven at the bayonet point into the stockades. They were loaded like cattle or sheep into 645 wagons and started toward the west. Men were shot in cold blood. Lands were confiscated. Homes were burned and the inhabitants driven out by these gold hungry brigands.T: Very good. What about the second question?S: He wanted schoolchildren to fully understand the enormity of the crime that was mitted against a helpless race. Schoolchildren should know that they are living on lands that were taken from a helpless race at the bayonet point to satisfy the white mans greed for gold and that the four thousand silent graves mark the trail of the Cherokees to their exile.T: Thats right.
