...Ron used Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce tribe in north-western United States as a similar example, stating that members of the Nez Perce resent Chief Joseph because at one time he had tried to escape to Canada to avoid a war with the United States government. Ron explained that just as with Chief Joseph, there were Comanche tribal members who resented Quanah for being made chief by the United States government. Had Quanah been voted into the position of chief by the Comanche, less resentment and more acceptance of Quanah would have occurred. Incorporating Quanah’s mixed race, more controversy and resentment fell upon him. However, Quanah worked harder for the Comanche rather than chastising his opponents.

...Introduction The United States of America for decades has been the best example of a nation that is a melting pot of cultures. This has mainly been due to the fact that currently, the country may be the most racially and culturally diverse nation on the planet. There may be other facts disputing this assumption but the United States beats other culturally diverse nations in terms of the tolerance and harmony between the resident cultures. All this can been attested to the fact that America is an Immigration Country. The country constitutes people from different parts of the world. The process of people moving into the new world that is the Americas where the United State lies began centuries ago and has been an ongoing process to the current day.
