Description
CONTEMPORARY ART: As Long As Grass Grows And Water Runs
After Andrew Jackson was elected president, the Southern states passed laws strengthening their control over Indians and encouraging whites to settle on Indian land. Many of these settlers harassed Indians—in effect, pressuring them to leave their lands and go west. Jackson deployed an army major to tell the Choctaw and Cherokee Indians to leave their territory, promising them that they’d be allowed to stay in their new territory, “as long as the grass grows or water runs.” (President Monroe, 1817) For generations of American Indians, the phrase has become a symbol for American duplicity.
