The Reservation

Native American reservations in the United States are spaces allocated to native tribes that are considered a separate area from the rest of the country. Due to this separation and lack of support many of these reservations lead to poverty and destruction of native culture. In my life not many things are similar to native reservations, but i believe that the Black Belt in southern Chicago is the closest thing i know to an Indian reservation. The people in power during the time period of its creation forced one ethnicity of people to live there similar to the movement of native Americans, and then they were left to lose money through unfair business done by white people. They were shoved into one area to prevent them from taking up the land of those in power and then restricted beyond belief. The only major difference between the two is that one is a sovereign nation while the other is just a part of a larger city.
