Indigenous People In Latin America
The last thirty years in Latin America has been marked by the struggle of the indigenous peoples
from the Andes to the Amazon, Indigenous people have emerged as important political actors calling
attention to the exclusions that continue to mark the democracies in which they live. Since the
1980s, indigenous peoples have demanded their right to political participation, pressuring nation
states to broaden their understandings of the democracy. They've demanded self–determination and
the freedom to make their own decisions about their forms of government and lands. Used classic
tools of citizenship, media, non violent protests like Bolivia and more and more using ballot box.

They took land and resouces and forced local people to serve them as laborers, servants, mistreses,

the industrial revolution which led Europe into prosperity but left the native peoples in a position of
strutualr inewuality that theyre still fighting tot overcome. Over the following centuries, the
benficiraires of the system, the Latin American elite, continue to exploit indigenous peoples but
through very different measures, different menas, legal systems that have made inequality seem
natural. Since the colonial era, Indians have been resisting oppression through outright rebellion as
in the age of insurrection 1791 when huge armies of Andean natives led by Tupac Amaru from Peru

Indigenous People And The Media
Indigenous Studies is a very interesting unit as I am able to learn and discover more in depth about
Indigenous People. However, the lecture that got me into deep thoughts was on Indigenous People
and the Media. I kept asking myself; why do we view people that way? Why is it we change
impressions when it's a different race to ours? Now thinking back, I've come to realise that media
has a big influence to our everyday lives. Indigenous Australians in media are not highly recognised
for positive news. The way the media interprets sources of information about the Indigenous Peoples
has change the views on what we think of them. Now this has become a huge effect on the
Indigenous Peoples as it lead to stereotyping, racism and discrimination. ... Show more content on

Mainstream media tends to focus on the negative side about Indigenous Peoples like the 'problems'
and the relationship between the Indigenous Peoples and the public (McCallum, & Waller, 2013).
Educational systems are the same, as the students learn more on the negative history of the
Indigenous Peoples instead of the contemporary arts and performances of Aboriginal history. This
leads to the view of many Indigenous children feeling outcast as people stereotype on their race
when they don't (Salote Bovoro, 2008, citied in Korff, 2016). We cannot deny that everyone
stereotypes, including myself but I have become more aware that I should think before I do or say
something. I was taught in previous years that I should ask myself, what if someone said that to you,
how would you feel? That's the same with Indigenous Peoples, they don't want to be treated that
way because yes, everyone is different, but we don't need to point it out and criticise about it.

Situation Of Indigenous People In Canada
Debate Response # 2
"Do you feel the government is doing enough to address the situation of indigenous people in
Canada?"
The simple answer to this question is no. However, many situations, history, and aspects, acts and

done and has not done to help the indigenous people in Canada. It must also be noted that many of
the things the government implemented to help, actually backfired and caused more harm than good.

Life of Peru's Indigenous People Essay
Throughout the history of Latin American countries, like Peru there has been dramatic change in the
overall way of life. These changes are largely due to external influences on the international level
such as the Spanish conquest of Andean territories. However no matter whether the process of
change was political, economic, social or cultural, they all have similarities and are interconnected.
These different types of change are closely intertwined and influence one another while linking the

As a result the Peruvian indigenous people set up multiple ecological zones along these mountain
sides (slopes) to increase the efficiency of their production. This technique known as verticality let
the people diversify their subsistence strategies and become more self–sufficing. This division of
production zones were setup into four distinct production zones. Some of these zones were used for
animal domestication and tuber production while others were used for the production of certain
crops (maize, potatoes, tropical fruits, coca ) that grew best at their zones climatic conditions. These
indigenous people would then travel to different zones throughout the day to manage and exploit
these lands. However the distances between these four zones were extreme in some measures.
Therefore in order to increase traveling efficiency, these people would settle in the middle of these
ecological zones to give each production division adequate attention. Another important feature of
the Incan indigenous agricultural system was water. In order to conserve water and structure it's
usage most efficiently, the people followed the value of equity. They saw water as a form of
common property that belongs to everyone. As a result they handled water management by abiding
to the two specific principles of uniformity and proportionality. The people controlled and

Racism Against Indigenous People
Racism Against Indigenous People
If racism to the Canadian Indigenous is over, how is it that 50.7% of Indigenous peoples have
reported moderate, or high levels of psychological stress, while sadly, 22% commit suicide. As we
very much know, racism is a big problem in our world today. It may sometimes be confused that one
can only be racist to another with a different skin colour. Not only can racial ideas be affected or
shaped through skin colour, but also religion and culture alike. That is why it is commonly
misconceived, that there was no wrongdoing or discrimination towards the Indigenous peoples back
when the Europeans first arrived. I believe that the Canadian government is not doing nearly enough
to provide our natives with proper the sympathy they're entitled to, causing them to fall ever deeper
into the hole of racism and misunderstanding. Using our history, I will explain what happened to the
Indigenous peoples of Canada and why they should be given more of a chance in their lives to

Oppression Of Indigenous People
Indigenous people are the people who were on the land first, before settlers came and took it away.
In this case, Americans are the settlers, and we took the Indian's land away. We didn't gently take
their land away, we pulled the rug out from under them and stole basically all of it. We took their
land by force so that we could use it for our own benefit. In result of their land being taken away, the
Indians had to move. The indians had to move to from the land that they called their own. They had
to move to cramped, small, dirty, mold filled, unnourished lands called reservations. Including their
land we also took their culture, so to speak. We made it seem like they shouldn't embrace their
culture, that doing that isn't 'normal'.
Throughout our class readings we have come across many themes. They include the oppression and
disrespect of indigenous people. Americans have severely oppressed Indians, mostly through the
stealing of their land. Americans then force Indians to live in a place that few people would even
dare to go. Unemployment on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation fluctuates between 85 and 90
percent and The life expectancy for men is between 46 and 48 years old. (Huey 2) The land is in

The Oppression Of Indigenous People In Canada
Due to disassociation, assimilation, oppression, systemic and systematic erasure and violence,
Indigenous peoples have been purposefully silenced at almost every moment of interaction with
Canada.
Many Indigenous peoples have been strategically silenced since birth. Their names were changed
for number tabulations, cultures were suppressed and languages were stolen from Indigenous
children and their future generations. These actions were sanctioned by the Catholic Church,
manipulated by political leaders and, ultimately, enforced by the government of Canada. The
consequences of these actions rippled through the institutions and cultivated into the consciousness
of settler and colonial populations. Indigenous children were subjected to an education which
stripped them of their identities and forced them into lower–class, lower–labour positions.
Indigenous education was created solely to meet the desired needs of subsistence of Euro–Canadian
peoples.
During the wars in which Canada participated, Indigenous peoples were rarely recognized for their
achievements or efforts and many deaths were purposefully not recorded. There were also hundreds

systematic oppression. Beginning as early as 1492 when Columbus reached the Caribbean,
indigenous people were either attacked, enslaved, or forced to move back to make way for European
expansion, which ultimately led to the destruction of Native American livelihood. Multiple wars
broke out between the Europeans and indigenous groups, like the Pequot War in 1637 and King
Philip's War in 1675. Many indigenous people were forced to assimilate into white culture or

The Standing Rock Reservation was given to the Native Americans to because of the significance
and weight that the land held for the Standing Rock Tribe. For instance, the High Arctic Relocation,
which was the forced relocation of 19 Inuit families from Quebec to the Arctic Region in the 1950s.
Apihtawikosisân, a Métis woman from the Plains Cree speaking community of Lac Ste. Anne,
Alberta, says that the relocations of indigenous people occurred as a way to reinforce sovereignty of
a race or a group of people. In doing so, the effects of these relocations reverberated for generations,
such as the weakening of cultural bonds, loss of economic sufficiency, decline in standards of
health, changes in social and political structures, was a damaging experience for many indigenous
people. While the company nor the government is telling or forcing the Standing Rock Tribe to
move, the Pipeline does endanger the Native American's way of life. The North Dakota Pipeline is
essentially forcing the Standing Rock Tribe to conform so that the structure can be built under the
Missouri River and near the Tribe's Reservation and sacred areas. More instances of denying human
rights or forcing indigenous people to submit, would include the human rights abuses against
indigenous people in Southeast Asia. Between the Cham, the Montagnard, and the Jumma, there
were rights issues regarding way of life, religious beliefs, assimilating into another culture,
imprisonment, and land dispossession (Scholten). These sorts of issues are not directly tied to the

Indigenous People In The Spanish
The Spanish focused on concentrating indigenous populations in villages or "missions," where they
could be Christianized and forced to work for the Crown. Within these Spanish–ruled villages the
ethnic differences between indigenous peoples were dissolved and gave way to a new one with the
acquisition of the Quechua language . As a result, a new identity as Quechua–speaking people
emerged in the region and the pre–hispanic identities vanished (Scazzocchio a1979). It is very likely
that their pre–Hispanic identities disappeared around the 17th and 18th centuries. Moreover, the
Spanish rule and the mission system imposed a social structure and classification which were to last,
with some modifications, until the first half of the 20th century.

The indigenous have been mistreated by the Europeans since the 1500's, from the cod fishing to the

cod, but they didn't establish a trading partnership. It wasn't until the early 1800's when the
Europeans took action and captured Beothuk peoples, Shawnadithit, her mother, and her sister, and
took them back to Europe. Shawnadithit's mother and sister died in Europe from European diseases.
Later on, the Europeans took Shawnadithit back to her point of capture, she then caught tuberculosis
and died in 1829, she was the last known Beothuk person alive. If the Europeans hadn't captured

However, accordingly to Maldonado, "Having an Indian status does not necessarily mean free
universities and no taxes" (lecture, November 15, 2016). The Canadian's stereotypes about
Indigenous people and their "favorable" position in the society is based on the misunderstanding and
leads to the discrimination they are still facing nowadays. Although Canada's bill of rights were
created in 1960 and gave people the right for equality, liberty, and freedom of speech and religion,
even the fact of existence of Residential Schools makes it obvious that Ingenious people were still
harshly discriminated. Those schools, where children were kept away from their families and taught
that their culture was evil, that their parents were pagans, that their identity was primitive, existed

Bolivia is a country that has deep, entrenched, systematic racism at the core of its history.
Constituting more than 60 percent of the populace, Bolivia has the largest indigenous population in
the Western Hemisphere. Literally conquered by Spanish conquistadores, this indigenous population
has been marginalized and discriminated against at every turn despite their majority status.
Triggered by the election of South America's first indigenous head of government, in the last decade
landmark changes have taken place that have turned power over to this disenfranchised majority.
While these changes have been far from perfect, they are widely seen throughout South America and
the developing world as a beacon of hope.
Beginning at the country's independence in 1825, the indigenous population was at the bottom end
of an economic system built on serfdom. At the turn of the 20th century reforms were brought about
(led by Canadian Baptists) that led to the abolishment of serfdom. Nonetheless the indigenous
peoples were not granted any rights politically or humanly. The right to vote was an afterthought to
the right to be protected under the law or to own property. Until the 1950s only people of Spanish

The tribes believe that there is a salmon village under the sea. They would send a scout out and our

tell the salmon people it was treated with great respect by our tribe, then it will bring the rest of the

The Indigenous People Of Australia
Ever since the colonization of Australia by the British Empire in the 18th Century, the indigenous
people of Australia have been subject to social inequalities that have left their community ravaged.
This treatment of the indigenous people was justified by the concept of Racial Othering, and it
continues to perpetuate the unequal treatment of the indigenous people in Australia, to this day. One
group of people are deemed the norm, and everyone else is designated as the Other, who are
considered deviant (Fozdar, Wilding & Hawkins 2009, pp. 4–5). In the case of the Indigenous
people, Racial Othering was originally based on physical differences determined by genetics that
differed from race to race, but today it also takes into account the cultural differences of people

Wildlife Animals And Indigenous People
Both wildlife animals and Indigenous people resided in Canada long before European colonization

dispute over territory. Because of this, many newcomers to Canada has this preconceived notion that

Canadianness (Francis 1997). This is played out in many Canadian films which portray stereotypical

interaction with urban spaces and the wilderness in The Wolfpen Principle (1974) and North of 60

reinforce the idea that certain people and animals should belong or excluded from nature and urban
spaces. In parks, wolf tourism is usually portrayed as a wilderness experience where humans
dominate animals and nature. Yet, according to Kellert's (1985) research, associating the wilderness

Indigenous People of Australia The Aborigines are an indigenous group from Australia. They were
the first human inhabitants of this land. The word Aborigine is actually from Latin language,
meaning "from the beginning". The Europeans gave this name to native Australians, but this is not
what they call themselves. They prefer to be called Koori (Ponnamperuma). They adapted to their
environment well: the people in the colder southeast tended to be short and thick–set which was
useful for conserving body heat, and the people in the hot desert were taller and lean. The
Aboriginals lived solely by hunting and food gathering. Each group accumulated detailed
knowledge of the habits, cycles, and and food values of the plants, insects reptiles, marsupials, and

Indigenous And Non Indigenous People
As I was not born or raised in Australia, I had no idea about Indigenous Australian history before I
came across this unit. The only idea I had is that Indigenous Australians receive 'special treatment'
such as more welfare and handouts from the government. Before I started this unit, I was expecting
to learn Indigenous culture and traditions as I have been taught in my diploma unit before. However,
in the very first lecture, Corrinne surprised me by being a white Indigenous people and the way she
made us think in their shoes. She made us think how the Indigenous people felt like when the
invasion began. I started to understand, this is a very crucial topic for both Indigenous and non–
Indigenous people as we are learning the history and the presence with heavy hearts. After listening
to lectures, reading articles and communicate on the forum with other students, I had a better
understanding of Reconciliation. As I learned that Aboriginal people are the first people on this land,
however they were excluded, ignored and spurned in Australian written history for the first 190
years. After the Federation in 1901, Aboriginal people had become victims of colonizer's indulgence
with racial purity. Having been intruded, colonized, quashed, enthralled and animalized, Aboriginal
people became an inconvenient evidence of the crucial eviction. (mentioned in my week 4 journal)

Indigenous People Religion
Indigenous people have many different aspects of their religion that is recognized with all
indigenous groups. Indigenous people worship a supreme being who they believe created
everything. The Supreme Being is often referred to as male with such names as "Great mysterious",
"Great spirit", "all–powerful" or "creator". Some tribes refer to the Supreme Being as a woman,
"changing woman". Southern and central Africans believe the high being is either too distant, too
powerful or too dangerous to worship or ask for help. The Supreme Being that is worshipped by
indigenous people is similar to "God" western monotheistic religions worship. Indigenous people
also worship unseen spirits that are believed to be at work in their normal life. These spirits

The Indigenous People Of California
The indigenous people of California had existed on the lands as hunters–gathers before the arrival of
the Spanish who were the first Europeans to reach this part of the Americas. These settlers who
began surveying the area since 1530, helped introduce the mission system around 1697 as part of an
effort to set up permanent bases for new arrivals and as a bulwark against other European powers.
This establishment caused the natives to transition from their original lifestyle into agrarian farmers
to help bring in revenue for the Spanish crown which led to them being exploited economically in
the process. To establish order in this new land, the Spaniards used harsh punishments for rooting
out defiance within the Indian population. However, eventually the natives would begin to die off in
such large quantities that it echoed what else was happening what was happening in the rest of the
continent. Overall, the effect on the indigenous population was predominantly negative due to
contributing towards loss of culture, experiencing callous treatment at the hands of the Spanish, and
forced population decline.
Native Americans lost their culture once the Spanish made them a part of the mission system.
Before European arrival, they were predominantly pagan and had multiple gods or spirits which
they worshipped as part of their rituals for successful harvest or hunt. Through the mission system,
they underwent baptism through Catholicism and learned to worship only one supreme being and

Indigenous People By Thomas King
Indigenous people are constantly put into categories by the North American government without the
White Canadians and Americans realizing it. Thomas King has a particular notion that as a society
there are three classifications that an Indigenous person can fall under; Dead, Live, or Legal Indian.
King uses the term Indian which some may seem as offensive although King proclaims:
"Terminology is always a rascal" and that there will never be a correct term to use, he suggests using
the term that people call themselves. Considering King's quote this paper will mainly include the
terms Indian and Indigenous when referring to Native Americans. Thomas King explains a Dead
Indian as the North American indigenous cliché of beaded, shirts, fringed deerskin dresses,
loincloths, and moccasins. With this description, Dead Indians are those who are noticeably
Indigenous due to their clothing that is typically only worn for ceremonies or dances. Live Indians
are the forgotten about because they happened to be forced into a reservation, dispersed in the rural
areas, and cityscapes of North America whereas King suggests where they were supposed to die out.
King suggests that Live Indians are the Indigenous people who are living in North America
currently. Live Indians are biological Indians, but due to the white society's perception of the

Tourism and Indigenous People
BA (Hons) Tourism Marketing Year 3 1.0 AN INTRODUCTION According to the United Nations
definition of indigenous people, they are "descendants of those who inhabited a country or a
geographical region at the time when people of different cultures or ethnic origins arrived" (United
Nations, 2011a). It is estimated that there are about 370 million indigenous people around the globe
in over 70 different countries. They keep their own political, social, economic and cultural qualities

He went on to say that tourism is one of the most "labour intensive industries" left to the modern
world and that it has a very agreeable multiplier effect when planned successfully (Manley, 1974).
According to the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody: National Report (1991) the
potential for tourism development is strong in certain parts of Australia. In rural areas it is one of a
few growth sections for the economy. However, tourism also brings its quandaries regarding
indigenous people, in this case, of aboriginal descent. There are two sides to the coin as at one side
we have one of the very few ways that aboriginal people have in taking positive action in creating
income for themselves through tourism, but tourism can also bring unwanted invasion of people‟s

Effects Of Colonization On Indigenous People
Imagine having your identity and culture stripped away from you. This is what has happened to
many Indigenous people throughout history in Canada. This has been done through the process of
colonization. There are many devastating impacts of colonization that has affected Indigenous
people all over Canada including racism and stereotyping as well as the downfall of the health of
Indigenous people. Racism against Indigenous people has been a major impact of colonialism
throughout the years. The racism and institutionalized racism has grown over the years and has
made it complicated for many Indigenous people to practice their spirituality and culture. There are
also many health consequences of colonization including starvation, disease, mental illness and
addiction. There are many impacts of colonization that have affected Indigenous people throughout
history and continue to impact them today.
Racism is very prevalent in today's society against Indigenous people in Canada. They face many
forms of individual and institutionalized racism. According to LaRocque, Racism is prejudice or
discrimination based on the belief that one or one 's group is innately or genetically superior to
another. Racists believe that "race" determines qualities such as intelligence, innovation, creativity
and even morality" (N.D). People have been taught the stereotypes of Indigenous people whether it

Jamestown from England, more supplies were brought back and more people to become settlers of

Indigenous Peoples Of Native Americans
"There does not seem to be one definitive definition of indigenous people, but generally indigenous
people are those that have historically belonged to a particular region or country, before its
colonization or transformation into a nation state, and may have different–often unique–cultural,
linguistic, traditional, and other characteristics to those of the dominant culture of that region or
state" (Rights) The land to Native Americans is a very sacred object. To us, as nonnative individuals,
we don't look at the land the same. As agriculturists we have a respect for the land and want to
maintain its fertility so it can continue to bless us with crops. While a ski bum may have respect for
the mountains and terrain that was given to them to be able to ski and enjoy. Native Americans see
the land as a whole. They as people don't just respect it for certain entities they respect it for
everything it has given to them. "Their ancestral land has a fundamental importance for their
collective physical and cultural survival as peoples. Indigenous peoples hold their own diverse
concepts of development, based on their traditional values, visions, needs and priorities." As
nonnative individuals it should be our job to help protect these sacred lands, and restore what
damage that has been done to them. But instead, big companies are destroying sacred land all over
the United States by mining, drilling for oil, or even building for scientific research.

Indigenous People: A Mythological Analysis
The erasure of McKenzie's and tens of thousands of other Indigenous stories started during the
beginnings of settler contact in the early 1400s when the explorers and colonizers evaluated and
compared themselves to the Indigenous peoples of what is now known as Canada and the United
States of America. Many settlers moving to Canada, were anticipating improved futures and
increased well being. The oppressive and relatively definite class systems in Europe, specifically in
France and Britain, forced many people into lower class labour and/or poverty. Thus, the seductive
notions of a more prosperous future were difficult to ignore. Ethnocentric views on society,
however, persisted in Canada and new social classes were formed. Indigenous peoples resisted the
advancement of settlers into their territories; which they had inhabited for millenniums. This
resistance caused the settlers and colonizers to perceive Indigenous peoples as inconvenient
obstacles in their pursuit of prosperous futures (King, 2012). From a historical materialistic
perspective, Indigenous peoples, by resisting settler occupation, were preventing the production of
settler needs of subsistence. Thus, settlers attempted to eliminate Indigenous ... Show more content

Due to limited documented information and an estimation of McKenzie's date of birth, I assume that

At the beginning of the 1870s, the Indigenous peoples "of future Alberta were amid several serious
problems that placed them in a much weaker position due to a smallpox epidemic, several previous
plagues in 1781–82, 1801, and 1837–38, tuberculosis, scarlet fever, measles, and influenza" (Hall,

The Jesuits Perception Of Indigenous People
The documents by John De Brébeuf were referring to how the Jesuits went and observed the
everyday lives of the Indigenous people, and found that their beliefs were entirely different. As the
Jesuits believed their perspective on religion and god were the only true way of looking at the world,
they saw the beliefs of the Indigenous people as uniformed and less evolved. As a result, they felt it
was necessary to set the Indigenous people on the proper path to true salvation which, according to
the Jesuit, could not be achieved through the belief held by the Indigenous people, as they did not
recognize the Christian vision of one god. In this paper, I am going to argue that the author's primary
intent was to evaluate a way to make the Indigenous ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Because of their bias they couldn't resist the temptation to show them that "god" is giving them all
of the lakes, rivers, earth, and sky so they should be thanking him, not each one of these
individually. Another thing that is very important to the Indigenous people, are their dreams. They
are using their dreams in many different ways, but one important way is to help someone who is
sick. The captain visits the elders and tells them about his dream, once they know what the person
needs in order to get better, the whole clan helps to find that object. Once the object is given to the
sick member, they will get better. The Jesuits took this and hoped that they would "one day become
capable of Christian charity." This means that the Jesuits saw that the Indigenous people did things
as a community, and wanted to help each other get the things they needed in order to live a normal
and healthy life, which is a little different than how the Jesuits go about helping others. Help for
others in this way is viewed more as charity because people are offering to help out of the goodness
of their hearts rather than just as community norms, so they both have a different word. Again, this
represents a bias perspective on the part of the Jesuits as they did not value individual participation
in the community as a cultural default. They respected individual sacrifice as a means to
demonstrate a commitment to god. Interesting that the Jesuits believed so strongly in their
perspective that they were willing to bring a degree of suffering, in the form of individual sacrifice
in order to believe in the appropriate

poorest communities–with the worst health, highest mortality rate and shortest life span" ("The

works to raise awareness towards the indigenous peoples' causes globally. Indigenous peoples are
generally defined as individuals who belong to a highly conservative, culturally and linguistically

maintain that separation with the superior culture. In addition, their cultures and traditional practices

These three factors, chronologically, are catalyzed in a domino effect commonly experienced by
indigenous peoples, thus being responsible for the high suicide rates. Statistical evidence for Latin
America indicates "more than 80 percent of the region's indigenous peoples are still living in abject
poverty, a trend that has changed little since the early 1990s" ("Latin America"). Because of the
rising poverty states, among the indigenous communities, a portion of the indigenous have resorted
to violent crimes. Opponents against helping indigenous peoples believe that the activities of the
indigenous risk the safety of the dominant societies, and thus should not be helped–provoking
thoughts derived from observing the rising number of aboriginal peoples incarcerated in Australia
over the years: an exponential growth rate for indigenous incarceration has flooded the prisons with
a numerable quantity of indigenous peoples . It is understandable that one would conclude such an
alleged claim only by seeing the statistical facts, but without further investigation of the causes for
incarceration, many crucial details are absent that turn the tides of the argument towards an
advocacy for legislative and judicial systems to intrude and elicit repairs for legal complexities
associated with indigenous peoples. Procuring legislative support could decrease the numbers of
poverty–struck indigenous communities and effect an ameliorable change in their social standing,
thus projecting a more respectful and less hostile view by the dominant

The Importance Of Gentrification Of Indigenous People
The first time an indigenous event occurred can never be accurately described in text. There have
been many incidents where people have been driven out of their homes and out of their property just
because a more civilized group of people have moved in and decided to make it their own home,
there have even been cases of this turning into slavery. This is the exact definition of gentrification.
Is gentrification of indigenous people morally correct? Does it need to be looked at in order for
society to continue moving forward? For example, would society be a better place, if instead of
fixing roads first, we looked to make sure the people ALL felt as if they were being treated rightfully
and fair and equal? To be honest, people of indigenous backgrounds are angry. Although this can't
be said for all of them, there are a few people irritated at the fact that their ancestors were taken
advantage of and that now, in modern time, they are being ignored and set aside.
For many people of indigenous backgrounds, they have to grow up in a society where their history
isn't talked about and their backgrounds are irrelevant– even though their ancestors had as much to
do with the creation of a country as much as the others do. Why is it that indigenous people never
get the credit? It could possibly be the fact that when they were first introduced to the people who
had founded the land, the indigenous people were not as "advanced" as them. Or it could also be the

The And Its Effects On Indigenous People
"Bioprospecting is aimed to make humans rich, not to conserve forests" (Onaga 2001). Even though
the Convention on Biological Diversity called for more benefit sharing, in most cases
bioprospecting agreements cannot be enforced by source countries, communities, or the convention
(Sandhu 3,4). This makes biopiracy common, since the country that makes a successful commercial
product is likely to want to protect their intellectual property rights and neglect indigenous
contributions (Cluis 1). A local curing plant that was once a free commodity to indigenous people, is
now a marketed one that becomes unaffordable for the ones that discovered its value and used it
before anyone else (Cluis 1). In 1969, a fungus containing 'cyclosporin' was collected in Norway
and brought to Switzerland for screening (Dhillion et al. 492). It happened to be an
immunosuppressant that could treat patients with organ transplantations. This discovery was before
the Convention on Biological Diversity, so Norway got no credit. However, if they would have
received a mere 2% royalty from the profit, they would have gained $24.3 million in 1997 alone,
proving the incredible economic potential bioprospecting has (Dhillion et al. 492). Bioprospecting

The Chaco And Its Effects On Indigenous Peoples
Much of the Chaco is still inhabited by indigenous people who often do not have rights to the
territory they are on. Development brought on by actions from organizations like the IIRSA can be
devastating to the indigenous people. Natural resource companies can displace communities. They
can also harm the indigenous people by extracting resources which the indigenous rely on for their
way of life. The IIRSA is attempting to boost economic development by promoting resource
extraction and agriculture production, but in doing so they are harming many communities that need
the Chaco's resources to survive. According to a USAID Issue Brief about Tenure and Indigenous
Peoples "new infrastructure to improve access to markets, facilitate trade, and promote economic
growth" leads to an increase in demand for land. This new infrastructure makes it easier for "settlers,
merchants, and illegal loggers to clear forests and settle in indigenous territories." The USAID brief
also mentions how this infrastructure has both directly and indirectly caused negative effects in the
Gran Chaco region. They report how small–scale illegal loggers invading indigenous titled lands

Indigenous People In Latin America

  • 1. Indigenous People In Latin America The last thirty years in Latin America has been marked by the struggle of the indigenous peoples from the Andes to the Amazon, Indigenous people have emerged as important political actors calling attention to the exclusions that continue to mark the democracies in which they live. Since the 1980s, indigenous peoples have demanded their right to political participation, pressuring nation states to broaden their understandings of the democracy. They've demanded self–determination and the freedom to make their own decisions about their forms of government and lands. Used classic tools of citizenship, media, non violent protests like Bolivia and more and more using ballot box. Evo Morales was the first indigenous president of South America in Bolivia ...

The riches they claimed especially the gold and silver from aemricas mines fuled the industrial revolution which led Europe into prosperity but left the native peoples in a position of strutualr inewuality that theyre still fighting tot overcome. Over the following centuries, the benficiraires of the system, the Latin American elite, continue to exploit indigenous peoples but through very different measures, different menas, legal systems that have made inequality seem natural. Since the colonial era, Indians have been resisting oppression through outright rebellion as in the age of insurrection 1791 when huge armies of Andean natives led by Tupac Amaru from Peru and Tupac Katari from Bolivia almost overcoame the Spanish in Peru and Bolivia. In contemporary times, remote lands of indigenous peoples are under new threats because of the natural resources they hold precisely because these are the regions of refuge these are the areas that are under threat now. They hold minerals, natural gas, they have rivers that might bear hydro–electrc dams or forests to be logged. In most places in Latin America, the state holds the subsoil rights and can grant concessions to transnational corporations to exploit them without the permission of the owners of the land.

  • 3. Indigenous People And The Media Indigenous Studies is a very interesting unit as I am able to learn and discover more in depth about Indigenous People. However, the lecture that got me into deep thoughts was on Indigenous People and the Media. I kept asking myself; why do we view people that way? Why is it we change impressions when it's a different race to ours? Now thinking back, I've come to realise that media has a big influence to our everyday lives. Indigenous Australians in media are not highly recognised for positive news. The way the media interprets sources of information about the Indigenous Peoples has change the views on what we think of them. Now this has become a huge effect on the Indigenous Peoples as it lead to stereotyping, racism and discrimination. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Mainstream media tends to focus on the negative side about Indigenous Peoples like the 'problems' and the relationship between the Indigenous Peoples and the public (McCallum, & Waller, 2013). Educational systems are the same, as the students learn more on the negative history of the Indigenous Peoples instead of the contemporary arts and performances of Aboriginal history. This leads to the view of many Indigenous children feeling outcast as people stereotype on their race when they don't (Salote Bovoro, 2008, citied in Korff, 2016). We cannot deny that everyone stereotypes, including myself but I have become more aware that I should think before I do or say something. I was taught in previous years that I should ask myself, what if someone said that to you, how would you feel? That's the same with Indigenous Peoples, they don't want to be treated that way because yes, everyone is different, but we don't need to point it out and criticise about it. RACISM/DISCRIMINATION As the unit is about Indigenous Peoples, people thinks that this is the most sensitive topic as people tend to think before they say something, unlike how they describe people who are the same as them. During the lecture on 'People and Media', it was a discussion where we were to describe the picture that is shown to us. For the first half, it showed pictures of the everyday lifestyle of ordinary Non– Indigenous People, whilst the other half were the Indigenous ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 5. Situation Of Indigenous People In Canada Debate Response # 2 "Do you feel the government is doing enough to address the situation of indigenous people in Canada?" The simple answer to this question is no. However, many situations, history, and aspects, acts and laws, need to be taken into consideration to have a full understanding of what the government has done and has not done to help the indigenous people in Canada. It must also be noted that many of the things the government implemented to help, actually backfired and caused more harm than good. The Indian Act was established to ensure that First Nations individuals received protection and certain consideration under Canadian laws (White, 84).

  • 7. Life of Peru's Indigenous People Essay Throughout the history of Latin American countries, like Peru there has been dramatic change in the overall way of life. These changes are largely due to external influences on the international level such as the Spanish conquest of Andean territories. However no matter whether the process of change was political, economic, social or cultural, they all have similarities and are interconnected. These different types of change are closely intertwined and influence one another while linking the local level of life with foreign (on an (inter)national level) events and forces. Also along with these changes, some aspects of indigenous life remain stable and continue throughout these external influences. In this essay I will discuss continuity ...

As a result the Peruvian indigenous people set up multiple ecological zones along these mountain sides (slopes) to increase the efficiency of their production. This technique known as verticality let the people diversify their subsistence strategies and become more self–sufficing. This division of production zones were setup into four distinct production zones. Some of these zones were used for animal domestication and tuber production while others were used for the production of certain crops (maize, potatoes, tropical fruits, coca ) that grew best at their zones climatic conditions. These indigenous people would then travel to different zones throughout the day to manage and exploit these lands. However the distances between these four zones were extreme in some measures. Therefore in order to increase traveling efficiency, these people would settle in the middle of these ecological zones to give each production division adequate attention. Another important feature of the Incan indigenous agricultural system was water. In order to conserve water and structure it's usage most efficiently, the people followed the value of equity. They saw water as a form of common property that belongs to everyone. As a result they handled water management by abiding to the two specific principles of uniformity and proportionality. The people controlled and developed the land so that everyone received water with the same frequency. Therefore if everyone irrigated their ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 9. Racism Against Indigenous People Racism Against Indigenous People If racism to the Canadian Indigenous is over, how is it that 50.7% of Indigenous peoples have reported moderate, or high levels of psychological stress, while sadly, 22% commit suicide. As we very much know, racism is a big problem in our world today. It may sometimes be confused that one can only be racist to another with a different skin colour. Not only can racial ideas be affected or shaped through skin colour, but also religion and culture alike. That is why it is commonly misconceived, that there was no wrongdoing or discrimination towards the Indigenous peoples back when the Europeans first arrived. I believe that the Canadian government is not doing nearly enough to provide our natives with proper the sympathy they're entitled to, causing them to fall ever deeper into the hole of racism and misunderstanding. Using our history, I will explain what happened to the Indigenous peoples of Canada and why they should be given more of a chance in their lives to command authority and leadership, concluding with how we can help. As the 16th century began, the Indigenous peoples were living happy and peaceful lives, respecting the environment and the creatures within it. But with about 5 years time passing, the europeans came, commencing what would eventually be the cause of all our Indigenous problems now a days... so, what did they do?

  • 13. Oppression Of Indigenous People Indigenous people are the people who were on the land first, before settlers came and took it away. In this case, Americans are the settlers, and we took the Indian's land away. We didn't gently take their land away, we pulled the rug out from under them and stole basically all of it. We took their land by force so that we could use it for our own benefit. In result of their land being taken away, the Indians had to move. The indians had to move to from the land that they called their own. They had to move to cramped, small, dirty, mold filled, unnourished lands called reservations. Including their land we also took their culture, so to speak. We made it seem like they shouldn't embrace their culture, that doing that isn't 'normal'. Throughout our class readings we have come across many themes. They include the oppression and disrespect of indigenous people. Americans have severely oppressed Indians, mostly through the stealing of their land. Americans then force Indians to live in a place that few people would even dare to go. Unemployment on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation fluctuates between 85 and 90 percent and The life expectancy for men is between 46 and 48 years old. (Huey 2) The land is in poverty, to be specific, more than 90 percent of the population lives below the federal poverty line.

Statistics show that for the period 2005– 2006, health officials registered a high number of mentally sick patients of this kind in Australia. (Australian institute of Health and welfare and australian Bureau of statistics, 2008, p. P.111). Majority of them had psychoactive problems at 5:3 ratios for both male and female respectively, some of which were self induced. In Canada, the situation is caused by induced and self imposed racial discrimination. For all these reasons, the United Nations argued countries to avoid racial discrimination by promoting equality in the provision of health services and affirmative action in indigenous communities. (United Nations Development Program (UNDP) , 2000, P.10). Life expectancy In Australia, the life expectancy at birth for the males had reduced and health authorities expressed the desire to improve it.

  • 17. The Oppression Of Indigenous People In Canada Due to disassociation, assimilation, oppression, systemic and systematic erasure and violence, Indigenous peoples have been purposefully silenced at almost every moment of interaction with Canada. Many Indigenous peoples have been strategically silenced since birth. Their names were changed for number tabulations, cultures were suppressed and languages were stolen from Indigenous children and their future generations. These actions were sanctioned by the Catholic Church, manipulated by political leaders and, ultimately, enforced by the government of Canada. The consequences of these actions rippled through the institutions and cultivated into the consciousness of settler and colonial populations. Indigenous children were subjected to an education which stripped them of their identities and forced them into lower–class, lower–labour positions. Indigenous education was created solely to meet the desired needs of subsistence of Euro–Canadian peoples. During the wars in which Canada participated, Indigenous peoples were rarely recognized for their achievements or efforts and many deaths were purposefully not recorded. There were also hundreds ...

Indigenous peoples were forced to assimilate into a society that never intended to embrace them. National and local newspapers generally ignored the lives of Indigenous peoples. Instead, they only discussed issues of Canada 'helping' Indigenous peoples or discussed cultural differences that seemed exotic and entertaining. The exotification of Indigenous cultures and traditions further discriminated Indigenous peoples by creating a divide between what was considered socially acceptable and what was not.

  • 19. Indigenous People Research Paper Over the course of history, indigenous people have been the target of discrimination, racism, and systematic oppression. Beginning as early as 1492 when Columbus reached the Caribbean, indigenous people were either attacked, enslaved, or forced to move back to make way for European expansion, which ultimately led to the destruction of Native American livelihood. Multiple wars broke out between the Europeans and indigenous groups, like the Pequot War in 1637 and King Philip's War in 1675. Many indigenous people were forced to assimilate into white culture or otherwise, risk execution. Then in the 1800s, when President Andrew Jackson enacted the Indian Removal Policy, the Trail of Tears occurred (over 4,000 of the 15,000 Cherokees died on the ...

For instance, the High Arctic Relocation, which was the forced relocation of 19 Inuit families from Quebec to the Arctic Region in the 1950s. Apihtawikosisân, a Métis woman from the Plains Cree speaking community of Lac Ste. Anne, Alberta, says that the relocations of indigenous people occurred as a way to reinforce sovereignty of a race or a group of people. In doing so, the effects of these relocations reverberated for generations, such as the weakening of cultural bonds, loss of economic sufficiency, decline in standards of health, changes in social and political structures, was a damaging experience for many indigenous people. While the company nor the government is telling or forcing the Standing Rock Tribe to move, the Pipeline does endanger the Native American's way of life. The North Dakota Pipeline is essentially forcing the Standing Rock Tribe to conform so that the structure can be built under the Missouri River and near the Tribe's Reservation and sacred areas. More instances of denying human rights or forcing indigenous people to submit, would include the human rights abuses against indigenous people in Southeast Asia. Between the Cham, the Montagnard, and the Jumma, there were rights issues regarding way of life, religious beliefs, assimilating into another culture, imprisonment, and land dispossession (Scholten). These sorts of issues are not directly tied to the Dakota Pipeline, but are related in a way that guaranteed rights were taken away or ignored when a certain group of people began to deny the human needs of the indigenous.

  • 21. Indigenous People In The Spanish The Spanish focused on concentrating indigenous populations in villages or "missions," where they could be Christianized and forced to work for the Crown. Within these Spanish–ruled villages the ethnic differences between indigenous peoples were dissolved and gave way to a new one with the acquisition of the Quechua language . As a result, a new identity as Quechua–speaking people emerged in the region and the pre–hispanic identities vanished (Scazzocchio a1979). It is very likely that their pre–Hispanic identities disappeared around the 17th and 18th centuries. Moreover, the Spanish rule and the mission system imposed a social structure and classification which were to last, with some modifications, until the first half of the 20th century. ...

The indigenous were kidnapped by the Europeans, forced to change cultures, and used for the European benefits. The indigenous life was not one of joy, but of sadness, and torture. In the 1500's, the Beothuk peoples encountered Europeans for the first time, when they first came to fish cod, but they didn't establish a trading partnership. It wasn't until the early 1800's when the Europeans took action and captured Beothuk peoples, Shawnadithit, her mother, and her sister, and took them back to Europe. Shawnadithit's mother and sister died in Europe from European diseases. Later on, the Europeans took Shawnadithit back to her point of capture, she then caught tuberculosis and died in 1829, she was the last known Beothuk person alive. If the Europeans hadn't captured Shawnadithit and her family in the first place, the Beothuk peoples would still be alive to this day, and they wouldn't have died from the European diseases that they were not immune to. ...

In Canada it had been commonly accepted to say Aboriginal or First Nations people; however, nowadays, the term Indigenous is more appropriate. Indigenous people are those, living on Canadian territories before Europeans arrival. The term includes First Nations, Metis, and Inuit. All these groups have a unique culture, languages, and beliefs. History: Indigenous communities have existed for thousands of years on the Canadian territories. They lived as independent nations, with different degrees of socio–cultural, political and economic complexity.

However, accordingly to Maldonado, "Having an Indian status does not necessarily mean free universities and no taxes" (lecture, November 15, 2016). The Canadian's stereotypes about Indigenous people and their "favorable" position in the society is based on the misunderstanding and leads to the discrimination they are still facing nowadays. Although Canada's bill of rights were created in 1960 and gave people the right for equality, liberty, and freedom of speech and religion, even the fact of existence of Residential Schools makes it obvious that Ingenious people were still harshly discriminated. Those schools, where children were kept away from their families and taught that their culture was evil, that their parents were pagans, that their identity was primitive, existed till 1996 and have been teaching approximately 150,000 First Nation, Inuit and Metis children (lecture, November 15, 2016). Residential School is an example of the discrimination against Aboriginals, trial to diminish the culture, language and family connections of the whole nation. The formation of The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada was an essential step for the Government in order to renew the positive relationships with Indigenous people. This commission worked on revealing the truth about the Residential Schools and informing about it all Canadians. I believe that creating such programs is an important part of history of social policy in Canada as it fosters positive relationships between different groups of ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Colonization is defined in Merriam–Webster Dictionary as taking control of an area and sending people to live there. This is initially what the British did when coming to North America. However, since then colonization has gained a larger and more sinister meaning. Colonization was used to undermine and devalue all aspects of Indigenous culture, including traditional medicine and healing practicesi. It encompasses the attempt at assimilating the indigenous people into the now western ways by presenting Indigenous people as savages and less than the European culture.

This can be done by educating both parties about the differences and similarities between them. Further when if the two ideologies can be used together it will create an environment where stereotypes can be dissolved. However, there will still be problems overcoming in the stereotypes initially, which is why cultural competency training and communication is important. Dialogue must be created with Indigenous people to learn what is needed to educate about and integrate Indigenous practices into mainstream healthcare for Indigenous people. Although difficult, modifying the western biomedical model of health care to integrate the indigenous traditional model will assist the decolonization of the relationship between Indigenous people and Canada.

Constituting more than 60 percent of the populace, Bolivia has the largest indigenous population in the Western Hemisphere. Literally conquered by Spanish conquistadores, this indigenous population has been marginalized and discriminated against at every turn despite their majority status. Triggered by the election of South America's first indigenous head of government, in the last decade landmark changes have taken place that have turned power over to this disenfranchised majority. While these changes have been far from perfect, they are widely seen throughout South America and the developing world as a beacon of hope. Beginning at the country's independence in 1825, the indigenous population was at the bottom end of an economic system built on serfdom. At the turn of the 20th century reforms were brought about (led by Canadian Baptists) that led to the abolishment of serfdom. Nonetheless the indigenous peoples were not granted any rights politically or humanly. The right to vote was an afterthought to the right to be protected under the law or to own property. Until the 1950s only people of Spanish descent were allowed in the plaza in front of the Presidential Palace much less in the halls of government buildings.

The tribes believe that there is a salmon village under the sea. They would send a scout out and our people would catch that first salmon. Once we treat that first salmon with respect it will go back and tell the salmon people it was treated with great respect by our tribe, then it will bring the rest of the people from the salmon village for us to be caught (Huchoosedah, 2:52–3:14) The way that the Lushootseed people treat the salmon is the same way that they would treat another person. In the salmon village under the sea lived people just like them that when they would leave their village they would put on their salmon appearance and be seen by others as salmon.

The Indigenous People Of Australia Ever since the colonization of Australia by the British Empire in the 18th Century, the indigenous people of Australia have been subject to social inequalities that have left their community ravaged. This treatment of the indigenous people was justified by the concept of Racial Othering, and it continues to perpetuate the unequal treatment of the indigenous people in Australia, to this day. One group of people are deemed the norm, and everyone else is designated as the Other, who are considered deviant (Fozdar, Wilding & Hawkins 2009, pp. 4–5). In the case of the Indigenous people, Racial Othering was originally based on physical differences determined by genetics that differed from race to race, but today it also takes into account the cultural differences of people (Wilding & Hawkins 2009, p. 5). What exactly Racial Othering is, and just how it has contributed to the inequalities experienced by the indigenous people of Australia, and what those inequalities are, will be elaborated on below. To begin with, the concept of Racial Othering must be properly explained.

Wildlife Animals And Indigenous People Both wildlife animals and Indigenous people resided in Canada long before European colonization took place, and both have suffered from these invaders' oppressive practices as a result of the dispute over territory. Because of this, many newcomers to Canada has this preconceived notion that the place is only associated with vast wilderness landscapes and that wildlife is constitutive of Canadianness (Francis 1997). This is played out in many Canadian films which portray stereotypical images of the country. In particular, this essay will highlight Indigenous people and wildlife interaction with urban spaces and the wilderness in The Wolfpen Principle (1974) and North of 60 (Southern Comfort), while also exploring the conflict between urban dwellers and their environment.

Yet, according to Kellert's (1985) research, associating the wilderness with wolves has increased their stigmatization, thus resulting conflicts over who belongs where.

The Indigenous People Of California The indigenous people of California had existed on the lands as hunters–gathers before the arrival of the Spanish who were the first Europeans to reach this part of the Americas. These settlers who began surveying the area since 1530, helped introduce the mission system around 1697 as part of an effort to set up permanent bases for new arrivals and as a bulwark against other European powers. This establishment caused the natives to transition from their original lifestyle into agrarian farmers to help bring in revenue for the Spanish crown which led to them being exploited economically in the process. To establish order in this new land, the Spaniards used harsh punishments for rooting out defiance within the Indian population. However, eventually the natives would begin to die off in such large quantities that it echoed what else was happening what was happening in the rest of the continent. Overall, the effect on the indigenous population was predominantly negative due to contributing towards loss of culture, experiencing callous treatment at the hands of the Spanish, and forced population decline. Native Americans lost their culture once the Spanish made them a part of the mission system. Before European arrival, they were predominantly pagan and had multiple gods or spirits which they worshipped as part of their rituals for successful harvest or hunt.

Thomas King has a particular notion that as a society there are three classifications that an Indigenous person can fall under; Dead, Live, or Legal Indian. King uses the term Indian which some may seem as offensive although King proclaims: "Terminology is always a rascal" and that there will never be a correct term to use, he suggests using the term that people call themselves. Considering King's quote this paper will mainly include the terms Indian and Indigenous when referring to Native Americans. Thomas King explains a Dead Indian as the North American indigenous cliché of beaded, shirts, fringed deerskin dresses, loincloths, and moccasins. With this description, Dead Indians are those who are noticeably Indigenous due to their clothing that is typically only worn for ceremonies or dances. Live Indians are the forgotten about because they happened to be forced into a reservation, dispersed in the rural areas, and cityscapes of North America whereas King suggests where they were supposed to die out. King suggests that Live Indians are the Indigenous people who are living in North America currently.

Indigenous People: A Mythological Analysis The erasure of McKenzie's and tens of thousands of other Indigenous stories started during the beginnings of settler contact in the early 1400s when the explorers and colonizers evaluated and compared themselves to the Indigenous peoples of what is now known as Canada and the United States of America. Many settlers moving to Canada, were anticipating improved futures and increased well being. The oppressive and relatively definite class systems in Europe, specifically in France and Britain, forced many people into lower class labour and/or poverty. Thus, the seductive notions of a more prosperous future were difficult to ignore. Ethnocentric views on society, however, persisted in Canada and new social classes were formed. Indigenous peoples resisted the advancement of settlers into their territories; which they had inhabited for millenniums. This resistance caused the settlers and colonizers to perceive Indigenous peoples as inconvenient obstacles in their pursuit of prosperous futures (King, 2012). From a historical materialistic perspective, Indigenous peoples, by resisting settler occupation, were preventing the production of settler needs of subsistence.

As a result, they felt it was necessary to set the Indigenous people on the proper path to true salvation which, according to the Jesuit, could not be achieved through the belief held by the Indigenous people, as they did not recognize the Christian vision of one god.

Because of their bias they couldn't resist the temptation to show them that "god" is giving them all of the lakes, rivers, earth, and sky so they should be thanking him, not each one of these individually. Another thing that is very important to the Indigenous people, are their dreams. They are using their dreams in many different ways, but one important way is to help someone who is sick. The captain visits the elders and tells them about his dream, once they know what the person needs in order to get better, the whole clan helps to find that object. Once the object is given to the sick member, they will get better. The Jesuits took this and hoped that they would "one day become capable of Christian charity." This means that the Jesuits saw that the Indigenous people did things as a community, and wanted to help each other get the things they needed in order to live a normal and healthy life, which is a little different than how the Jesuits go about helping others. Help for others in this way is viewed more as charity because people are offering to help out of the goodness of their hearts rather than just as community norms, so they both have a different word. Again, this represents a bias perspective on the part of the Jesuits as they did not value individual participation in the community as a cultural default. They respected individual sacrifice as a means to demonstrate a commitment to god.

Because of the rising poverty states, among the indigenous communities, a portion of the indigenous have resorted to violent crimes. Opponents against helping indigenous peoples believe that the activities of the indigenous risk the safety of the dominant societies, and thus should not be helped–provoking thoughts derived from observing the rising number of aboriginal peoples incarcerated in Australia over the years: an exponential growth rate for indigenous incarceration has flooded the prisons with a numerable quantity of indigenous peoples . It is understandable that one would conclude such an alleged claim only by seeing the statistical facts, but without further investigation of the causes for incarceration, many crucial details are absent that turn the tides of the argument towards an advocacy for legislative and judicial systems to intrude and elicit repairs for legal complexities associated with indigenous peoples.

There have been many incidents where people have been driven out of their homes and out of their property just because a more civilized group of people have moved in and decided to make it their own home, there have even been cases of this turning into slavery. This is the exact definition of gentrification. Is gentrification of indigenous people morally correct? Does it need to be looked at in order for society to continue moving forward? For example, would society be a better place, if instead of fixing roads first, we looked to make sure the people ALL felt as if they were being treated rightfully and fair and equal? To be honest, people of indigenous backgrounds are angry. Although this can't be said for all of them, there are a few people irritated at the fact that their ancestors were taken advantage of and that now, in modern time, they are being ignored and set aside. For many people of indigenous backgrounds, they have to grow up in a society where their history isn't talked about and their backgrounds are irrelevant– even though their ancestors had as much to do with the creation of a country as much as the others do. Why is it that indigenous people never get the credit? It could possibly be the fact that when they were first introduced to the people who had founded the land, the indigenous people were not as "advanced" as them. Or it could also be the fact that ...

  • 75. The And Its Effects On Indigenous People "Bioprospecting is aimed to make humans rich, not to conserve forests" (Onaga 2001). Even though the Convention on Biological Diversity called for more benefit sharing, in most cases bioprospecting agreements cannot be enforced by source countries, communities, or the convention (Sandhu 3,4). This makes biopiracy common, since the country that makes a successful commercial product is likely to want to protect their intellectual property rights and neglect indigenous contributions (Cluis 1). A local curing plant that was once a free commodity to indigenous people, is now a marketed one that becomes unaffordable for the ones that discovered its value and used it before anyone else (Cluis 1). In 1969, a fungus containing 'cyclosporin' was collected in Norway and brought to Switzerland for screening (Dhillion et al. 492). It happened to be an immunosuppressant that could treat patients with organ transplantations. This discovery was before the Convention on Biological Diversity, so Norway got no credit. However, if they would have received a mere 2% royalty from the profit, they would have gained $24.3 million in 1997 alone, proving the incredible economic potential bioprospecting has (Dhillion et al. 492). Bioprospecting can also harm the environment, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) has been criticized for devastating populations of "Maytenus Buchananii," a native Kenyan species with medicinal uses (Dhillion et al. 492). Lack of legal framework and indigenous ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 77. The Chaco And Its Effects On Indigenous Peoples Much of the Chaco is still inhabited by indigenous people who often do not have rights to the territory they are on. Development brought on by actions from organizations like the IIRSA can be devastating to the indigenous people. Natural resource companies can displace communities. They can also harm the indigenous people by extracting resources which the indigenous rely on for their way of life. The IIRSA is attempting to boost economic development by promoting resource extraction and agriculture production, but in doing so they are harming many communities that need the Chaco's resources to survive. According to a USAID Issue Brief about Tenure and Indigenous Peoples "new infrastructure to improve access to markets, facilitate trade, and promote economic growth" leads to an increase in demand for land. This new infrastructure makes it easier for "settlers, merchants, and illegal loggers to clear forests and settle in indigenous territories." The USAID brief also mentions how this infrastructure has both directly and indirectly caused negative effects in the Gran Chaco region. They report how small–scale illegal loggers invading indigenous titled lands "follow[ed] the new transoceanic highway built as part of the IIRSA development plan, which threatens indigenous peoples in South America through interlinked set of dams, canals, and multiple routes to the Pacific. The highway crisscrosses highly fragile, biodiverse, and mainly indigenous lands of the Amazon basin and Gran ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
