Trickster relating to Columbus and the Immigration ban.

Tricksters contain a correlation between Coyote And The Pebbles, and with what Columbus did to the Native American People, and with the immigration ban. White Americans had enough to live off of when it came to food, and land, and many other things. But fought for more being unsatisfied with the amount they already contained. In Coyote And The Pebbles, the animals had light enough for them to see, and survive. But they requested more light, being unsatisfactory with what they had. 

One of the quotes that stood out to me was, "we need more light". The word that sticks out to me, is the word "more". It supports the fact that they had light and were not in need of more for any particular reason. The animals requested more because they were ungrateful with the amount that they received and provided a minor excuse to justify why they would need more light. 

 

This can relate to what Columbus had done to the Native American people. He wanted to be able to understand how the Native people farmed, and understand their survival techniques. Native Americans were kind enough to educate him on what Columbus requested. Having all the knowledge that Native Americans provided was simply not enough. Columbus did not only used them for their environmental strategies, but took their land. Simply because he wanted more. He had enough to live off of but was ungrateful with the amount he had already received.

 

This can also relate to the immigration ban.  Many Immigrants had fled their countries because of their difficult situations, causing them to move into the United States in hopes that it will reduce their problems. According to an article called, "Ten Ways Immigrants Help build and Strengthen Our Economy"; Immigrants had provided businesses allowing more jobs to American people. Immigrants also developed technologies and companies or contributed at least 25% to developing companies like Yahoo, and Google. Many immigrants are scientist, inventors and engineers, "foreign-born inventors were credited with contributing to more than 75 percent of patents". Immigrants had invented and CONTRIBUTED to making America great. They have helped the United States to make double in profit for their inventions that were made, or from businesses that were created. They have helped expand employment for  American people. And just like the animals in Tricksters that were unsatisfied with the amount of light, and just like Columbus that learning Native American techniques, and just like immigrants providing their techniques, and creativity it is just not enough to satisfy Most American people.

 

Native American people were kicked out of their home because it simply was not enough. Americans wanted more then what Native people provided. And just like how immigrants had incorporated so much into assisting America with the latest technologies, or developing businesses, or being apart of fashion in cultural references, it is simply not enough. They too are being kicked out of a land they have molded to feel and become home to them.

 

 This is a photo of Native American people getting kicked out from their land, (Trail Of Tears).

 (This is an image of immigrants being deported. Many of these people are fighting on the behalf of immigrants in hopes to stop the immigration ban from continuing.)

What Columbus did to Native Americans that soon resultted to the Trail of Tears along with Immigration ban  also shows how history repeated itself into the present times. And how we as people still haven't changed from the past.
