Abstract
This dissertation provides an example of racism and slavery which both communities African
Americans and Amerindians had long suffered from and struggled against. It depicts that
racial discrimination and inequality has shaped the American history since its beginnings.
This is achieved through following and tracing the circumstances toward the blacks‟
resistance for liberation to attain their dream of emancipation and exploring the nature of
struggles of the Amerindians in their land. It also sheds light on the history of the African
American self-determination, and how it becomes an inseparable part of American history.
Likewise, it presents the Amerindians life in the West and their realistic objectives for
preserving their legal rights and gaining independence from the whites‟ aristocracy. The study
also shows that there were many common points where African Americans history of struggle
met with that of the Amerindians, as well as some differences stemming from the specificity
of each community and its conditions. As long as this study is exploratory in nature and deals
with historical content, it makes use the most of the qualitative historical approach. To put
together the two communities, the descriptive and comparative approach is also present.
Finally, the findings of this study show the extent of the strength, resistance, confidence, and
independence of both minorities, and the way they believe in themselves and fight for their
dreams to be free and equal. Besides, they reveal that both minorities struggled with the
whites to preserve their identity, and reach their prosperity in life in their journey of selfdetermination.
The Findings, then, highlight the fact that both the African Americans and the
Amerindians, to an extent, succeeded in raising their voice, in presenting their case and that
there is no more punitive life than living under servitude and subjection.
