The final step in the Americanization process

Explanation:

The Last Arrow Pageant occured at the end of 1880. The pageants were reunited by the government at Indian reservations. Native Americans wore their customary clothes, and every single person would grip a bow in order to shoot his/her final arrow. Once this part of the ceremony was finished, they would go inside a teepee and reappear dressed in "civilized" or European clothes. Finally, they were given a purse, which later in the future they used to save the money they made working.

explanation: we can only guess at how our actions may be perceived in the future. doing something really big like killing lots of people, saving lots of people, affecting the lives of lots of people is a sure fire way of being remembered in historical records. we can also make a difference in the history records by being a small influence on something bigger, whether that is as a civil servant, scientist or artist.

of course you could argue that we all affect history just as tiny cogs in a   bigger machine.

if you mean how do people influence our opinions of things which have already happened, then simply by writing a book which looks at things form a different perspective and trying to convince people that this perspective is more accurate or truthful. people do it all the time i.e. richard the third was a terrible or was he? plenty would disagree, it's just that their views aren't the most widely known.n:
