Geronimo and The Bracelet--Rachel Warriner

After reading both Geronimo and The Bracelet, I found some similarities between the both situations. In Geronimo, the Apache Native Americans were taken as prisoners across the country to be relocated and maintained by the new American government. In stark comparison, the Japanese-Americans were also taken as prisoners of war during WWII, and relocated from their homes on the west coast to the midwest. There seems to be a trend in American culture that white supremacy rules over the nation and misplaces those minorities out of fear, greed, and as we discussed in class, differences in language and communication. What surprises me the most is that these inequalities and relocations keep occurring in more recent decades. Through literature like The Bracelet and Geronimo, we can teach our students about these inequalities and how to combat these issues in the classroom.
