My next blog that I would like to write about is the somewhat similarity to refugee camps that have been set up in later years that can be compared to how the Native American were treated when they were made to retreat to small sections of the country in which they felt restricted.
In Darfur, recently in 2000-2002 and it may be still happening, but nearly millions of people have been relocated from Darfur into Chad. This total relocation of people from one place to another, and with them being very very poor is such a hard thing to have happen to not only the people, but of the host country Chad. With a huge influx of more than 800,000 people it is hard to try to accomodate people in an already, poor host country. This situation can be fairly compared to the problem that the Native americans had when the whites forced them to the west and only gave them limited land to live on. From where the native americans once had a thriving population and a certain way of living that kept them living like living off the land and the game around them, it really hurt the Indians to have a limited land area to live off of. without being able to spread their concentration of game hunting out to a wider area of land, it gives them a much smaller area to work with and find their necessary food to live off of.
In Darfur, the people were trying to be killed off by their own government because the leaders were so called “arab-nazis” trying to disolve their country from all people not arab. With the people of darfur being scared of being part of the genocide, they obviously had to get out of there to a safe area, which was Chad. And with that, many of them could not take all that they have worked for in their lifes with them. So the people of Darfur and the Indians are not all that different. Both groups had to leave all that they had worked hard for and go to a place where they could no longer carry out their traditional ways of living.
