Samurai and Native American Treatment

The Samurai and the Native Americans were treated very similarly for their beliefs. The Native Americans were very similar to the Samurai and they believed in keeping to their traditional ways. The Native Americans were people who lived in groups called tribes throughout the United States. They lived off the land and depending on where they lived they would adapt to the land there and live off the natural resources. Native Americans believed in respecting the land and that the land gave them many gifts. They became very proficient farmers, hunters, and fishers and they would build their homes out of any natural resources they could find. Native Americans also had clothing that they all wore and they mostly wore feather headdresses, small pieces of cloth (they typically did not wear much clothing), and paint that they made from the land on their faces. While in battle the Native Americans used spears and bows and arrows, so when other countries modernized they stuck to their traditional weapons making them weaker. Like the Samurai the Native Americans resisted change and wanted to keep to their traditions and as the Samurai were the Native Americans were attacked. They were attacked and a great deal of them died including women and children.
The Samurai were like the Native Americans and had very strong beliefs that they did not want to go against. The Samurai believed the strongest in their code of the warrior called bushido. They believed strongly in never giving up and never loosing a battle to your enemy, which was considered weak. The Samurai even believed in having an honorable death to the extent that they would commit suicide if it meant that they would have an honorable death. Samurai had their traditional clothing that they wore and during battle they wore the same armor they had always worn and only used swords. This shows they were very much against modernizing and they didn’t want to change their ways of fighting even though other countries were acquiring new weapons to fight with. Japan eventually turned on the Samurai’s and attacked them because they would not change their ways. But because of the Samurai’s lack in powerful weapons when compared to the Japanese, who had modernized and had all sorts of guns and cannon type things, they were very weak and could easily be wiped out. And this came to be true when the Japanese army attacked the Samurai and wiped out the Samurai warriors once and for all.
The Samurai and the Native Americans were both not really respected for trying to stick to their traditional ways. By not wanting to modernize they both paid the price and were attacked and many were killed on both sides.
