The two groups that have the longest history of racial discrimination in the United States are Indigenous people and Black people/African-Americans. Both groups have been denied the right to own/control the land that they lived on over the course of US history and both groups continue to struggle with the issue of land ownership and control. In an essay (roughly 500-700 words, which equals about 1-2 pages single-spaced) do the following:
Compare and contrast the Indigenous and Black/African-American experiences/struggles.
Explain how these experiences differed from the experience of those designated as “white”.
Discuss about why land ownership is important across generations and how Indigenous and Black/African American communities have been affected by the historical lack of access to land control/ownership
