Difference Between Native And Digital Native
Digital Native as Student v.s Digital Immigrant as Teacher
What happen with that?
Each year in the school is basic education's year for every person. In the school, teachers will give many lessons to students. It can be lesson about
life or about the subject such as math, physic, biology, English, etc. They are the keys who play the role in order to expand and lead the students to be
good people. Because of that, school must prepare the students to obtain knowledge and skills (hard skill and soft skill). Not only that, students slowly
could learn how to make a friend, how to communicate with each other, how to manage their time, learn about attitude, and learn about personality.
School is important because of the relationships build personally with others, which make their social confidence increase. School also makes them a

Native Americans : The Native American People
The Native American people were a humble and self–sustaining race that was taken advantage of and exploited for their generosities. You will see
that the Europeans will maneuver and essentially take a land inhabited by Native Americans by a series of actions that took place in the late
1400s to the late 1770s. Europeans will display acts of what seem to be kindness but is just a an act that in turn will weaken the Native American
people. The Native Americans lived in a very open area with no established form of defense, such as a wall, from outside threats. Their homes were
built from materials they found in nature, like trees to keep their structure vertical and brush to act as a roof. The Europeans lived in a more
established community with boundaries and protection from foreign threats. Their homes were built of masonry construction, mainly stone and rock.
When the Europeans first arrived on Native land, the Natives greeted them with open arms and curiosity. They were led by a man named
Christopher Columbus. They were intrigued with things they had never seen before. For example, the Natives used cane for their spears for hunting
but they were shown a weapon made from steel called a sword. After Columbus realized how trusting they were, he had taken a few of them as
prisoners in search for gold. He enslaved the people who had just welcomed him and offered him peace. He treated them like incompetent people that
he had planned to exploit for his own personal gain.

Native American Asimilation Of Native Americans
The film opens with the Native American victory at Little Big Horn over General Custer and his men on June 25, 1876. Custer's death and the Native
American win sparked rage from the U.S. government and led them to redraw territories so that the gold–filled Black Hills would not be included in
the reservation land. The event of the movie focus on the government's attempts to steal this land and the resistance of the Native Americans.

Native American And The American Of Native Americans
The Native American population has suffered many tragedies at the hands of the United States government, from their first interactions through the
mid–twentieth century. Government policies concerning American Indians worked in conjunction with the prejudices harbored by the majority of the
white population in the United States to suppress Native American liberties and strip them of their cultural identity. These policies gave little to no
regard for Native American customs, personal expression, or the future of Native American traditions, and had profound effects on the Native American
individuals and families who encountered them. The boarding school policies enacted by the United States government regarding Native Americans
that were formulated to encourage the destruction of native customs and force an entire race to assimilate into white American culture ultimately led to
the alienation of Native Americans from their native heritage and a loss of their personal sense of self. Several government policies were created to
control the attire and language of Native Americans. Among these were targeted regulations regarding how Native American students in boarding
schools were to dress, act, and speak, oftentimes against their will or traditions. It was common for students to be prohibited from speaking their
native language, encouraged instead to read, write, and speak in English only. One of the "General Rules" in "Rules for Indian Schools" explicitly

Native American Natives And Their Impacts Of Native Americans
Journal #1
Entry 1
What are some of the diversity of Native American Indians prior to the arrival of Europeans?
There were numerous diversities between Native American tribes prior to European arrival in North America. All tribe societies had shamans and
medicine men. Natives did not feel that they owned the land, families were provided land by the tribal leaders to use for a certain length of time to
hunt on as well as grow their crops for life sustainment. Along eastern North America, the Indians thrived on corn, beans and squash along with hunting
and fishing. The Mound Builders of the Mississippi Valley, built structures constructed in a semicircular fashion overlooking the Mississippi River and
traveled great distances to conduct trade with other natives. Western natives built enormous magnificent structures to house multiple families. They
also built canals and dams to gather and bring water to their villages to sustain life. Throughout the New America, tribes had their own languages,
religious beliefs, social and political systems.

Native American And Native Americans
Many years ago, Native Americans roamed North America. That was until the arrival of the whites lead by Columbus in 1492. The white Americans
then began to take as much land as possible, contradict with the native's customs and tried to take complete control of their lives.
Native Americans didn't believe in owning land– they believed that all of the land was everyone's to share. So when the white Americans find out none
of the land is owned, they take control of the land, and slowly push the Natives out as they dominate the country.
Now, out of the 318.9 million population of the U.S, only 1.7% of that is made up of Native Americans. In the 2003 census, there was recorded to be

The two different tribes I'm going to compare are the Plains Indians and the North west Coast.
Most people assume that since they are considered the same race, that all tribes have the same customs, which is partially wrong. However, somethings
are similar if not the same in different tribes.
One of these customs is about gender roles.
In both tribes, women were expected to all of the cooking for the family, 'cleaning' quilling, beading and more.
For the women in the Plains, they were set with the responsibilities of setting up the tipis every time they moved areas, and preparing the Buffalo–
tanning the hide etc. In the north West coast tribes, the women were expected to make woven baskets and prepare the food. The women were married
off between the general age of 12–15 and had approximately 4 children.
Men, on the other hand, are trained from a young age basic fighting skills. the boys living in the plains would learn horsemanship and fighting, so
when he was old enough, he would join his male elders on a Buffalo hunt or battle. A male traditionally went to find the greater spirit when he was
entering manhood (usually age 17) and on return, it would be determined how 'ready' it was. If he was fully ready, he would join the rest of the tribe on
their next battle. If he was not ready, he would join the next buffalo hunt. On the north west coast, the men were responsible for hunting, constructing

Native American Natives
Native Americans Native Americans roamed the land and did as they pleased, almost ancient technology. That was until white settlers came in and
took away their land and buffalo. Whites forced them to adapt to white culture and learn how to farm wheat, and go to school. Whites even put them
on indian reservations that had poor soil so their farming techniques were difficult.. Indians were nomads, they chased their food and never stayed in
one home for too long. They used older technology like smoke signals. The finding of the buffalo was remarkable, they could kill the game and use
every single part of it. Indians would use the bladder as canteens and the tendons as strings for their bows. It provided them with multiple luxuries, and

They even tried to say that they were helping the Indians by making them downsize. They would say that the annuities they gave me made up fro the

matters worse, they then enforced Indians to basically become whites they could do this with Assimilation. Assimilation is trying to get one to
change or become like one's culture. Many settlers, thought it was actually fair because they get 160 and so do the indians plus annuities yearly.
White settlers probably thought they got the short end of the deal because indians got land and money. They thought they were helping the Indians
with their farming and newer technology. That the killing of the buffalo and Assimilation would help indians be better off. Native Americans were
treated extremely unfairly. They were thrown onto reservations, and we killed their buffalo. Some may it was justified, but it wasn't. Imagine

Native Americans And The War On Natives
Imagine living in one place your whole life, that place is the only place you know. Now imagine people you have never seen before come, kill your
family, spread disease, and take the land for themselves. That is what happened to the Native Americans in the 1700's and 1800's. One of the most
disrespectful and saddest times in American History was in the 1850's with Westward Expansion and the war on Natives. During that time, there were
many new cities being built in the East and the United States inevitably got too crowded in the East. Americans traveled west for more land and
opportunity, but this is where most of the Indians were living at the time. Did the Native Americans have an aggressive nature, or did the Whites cause
them to be hostile? The Whites greed almost caused the extinction of Native Americans and caused them to become hostile towards the Whites. With
the Industrial Revolution going on, the world's population was growing rapidly with all the new medicine, technology, and agriculture being invented.
America seem especially appealing because the country was so young with many opportunities. With all the new immigrants, the adventure seekers
traveled west in search of new experiences. This is called Westward Expansion. They found new plants, animals, and gold. Everything was perfect for
the White men except one thing, the inhabitants of this wonderful land. The Natives were seen as dirty, and behind in technology. The Whites also
wanted the land for themselves.

Native Son Adaptation
In Richard Wright's novel, Native Son, the overall issue was with the main character, Bigger Thomas, being accused of raping Mary. The film tells the
story of the main character Bigger Thomas, a 20–year old African American man who is growing up in poverty on the Southside of Chicago. Native
Son displays a series of events and decisions made by Bigger that will alter his life. The purpose of this essay to examine Richard Wright's film
adaptation of Native Son, and to argue that Bigger Thomas proves to be guilty of murder due to being present with the victim, him covering up the
crime, and his history of violence. Wright's 1940 novel, Native Son had stirred up real controversy by shocking the sensibilities of both black and
white America. Wright was inspired to make his readers feel the reality of race relations and that is how Native Son came about. Wright used his
observances throughout the previous decade to sculpt the inherent challenges faced by the main character, Bigger Thomas, a 20–year old African
American in the South side of Chicago. In a time, when the Great Depression was impacting the economy, the Dust Bowl was crossing the country, and
an anti–lynching bill failed to pass in Congress, the context of history became an important facet of Wright's creation of the film adaptation. Firstly,

Central United States, you have probably heard of the Pawnee Native Americans.
The people of the Pawnee tribe were brave and formidable people. They were known for their crop growing abilities and smart hunters. They also
had many disputes with neighboring tribes. Their wars were usually violent. The Pawnee Indians would take prisoners from the previous battle
and choose the best looking and the strongest individual and sacrifice him/her to their gods. The rest of the prisoners were then taken and tried to
convert them into the tribe. But the one individual would be taken and treated like a king, giving him the best food and drink possible. Leading up
to the sacrifice, there was partying and dancing for four days straight. When the time came for the man to be sacrificed, he was shot with an arrow
by the chief and was killed. Then the rest of the tribe shot arrows into him as well. After the arrows were taken out, the body was cut open and all of

Americans have been viewed as savages, aggressors, monotonal in voice, and drunks. Native Americans have had a strong influence on America's

the deterioration of their civilization and culture. Events of the past have proven the relationship between European settlers and Native Americans
have not always been pleasant. The extended history between these two groups has had a negative impact on indigenous people, due to the loss of life

taking of land, the denial of religious freedom, and the direct impact of health and welfare. Since the arrival of the Europeans, Native Americans have
struggled to maintain ownership of their land and sacred burial grounds. American Indian author, Vine Deloria, Jr., author of "God is Red", wrote

Native Americans have been forced out of their culture over time, forced into assimilation, lost their rights, and have lost their land due to policies

America, and now these tribes are spread across the country and are blended into the rest of the population. The native ways have changed
drastically in the last two centuries due to relocation programs, Indian boarding schools, and the way to classify which tribe each person belongs
to. Native Americans have endured so much pain, which results from everything they have lost over time, and they have constantly paid the price
for their ethnicity. To begin with, whites were against the Native American ways of life. In the 1700 and 1800's, native tribes were given the
worst land for how the needed to survive with their lifestyle (Urban Relocation Program). Most were forced to live on reservations where most of
the people were at or below poverty levels. The urban relocation programs were set in place to move more natives off reservations to nearby cities
for better job opportunities, where they were supposed to receive stipends to live while they found work, which was not always given (Urban
Relocation Program). Many natives did not prosper in the city and resort to drugs and alcohol, in which some ended in death. The idea behind
relocation was to turn the natives into "urban Indians". By

With the change from Keatings progressive labour government to John Howard's' conservative Coalition government, came resounding regression to
the Native Title act, with the 10 point plan, and the coinciding Wik decision nine months after. The Wik VS Queensland case (1996) established that
in cases of conflict between pastoral leases and native title, pastoral leases override and can successfully extinguish native title , which was adopted
with the change of legislation and introduction of the Native Title amendment Act (1998). If there is no conflict, they can coexist. Many cases of
Native Title extinguishment has occurred, and only approximately 600 areas hold Native Title in all ofAustralia, with less than 1% in NSW. As a
procession from the Native Title declaration, this legislature has digressed justice to the ATSI community , and as further iterated by Sydney Morning
Herald has "undone the good of the Mabo decision". ATSI discrimination following the legislation of the Native title Act (1996) significantly rose in the
public discourse with renowneded personalities claiming they could "take their backyards", and an unspoken deeply–rooted fear for many, dating back
to Australia's colonization; that Australia could be declared completely under Native Title, and the sovereignty of the Crown could be questioned . For
ATSI peoples', the introduction of the 10 point plan, and the Native Title Ammendment Act (1998) marks a significant national regression upon

Throughout history from the founding of the New World to what we are today the Native Tribes have been always pushed around. Never able to
settle down nor were they able to make peace with the Europeans as they took their land and killed off their tribes. Struggles with disease and
European troops, the Native Americans attempted to fight back. Most of the time unsuccessful, but the natives did have their one or two victories.
It was almost as if the Natives were nothing but balloons floating in nothing they were just pushed aside when they were not needed for allies for
war or slavery. It never got easier for the Native Americans, never given a chance, the Native Americans were constantly forced around and never
had a place they could love and call a home. Indian Territory a place of peace for the Native Americans somewhere they could stay and not be
bothered. The downside to this territory was that the Indians could not preserve it for so long until settlers started to want the land."Subsequent treaties
and laws gradually reduced the size of the territory" (Powers 1). The reduction of Indian Territory gradually decreased at a fast rate. For Example, due
to the settlers pushing the government to hand out land to people the government would try to secretly migrate settlers out to the western lands. The

Captain Cook, missionaries continued to travel to Hawaii to, in their opinion, help the Hawaiian people. Native Hawaiians were viewed as savages

Theme Of Desire In The Return Of The Native

all the fourteen novels of Hardy, 'desire' is seen as a vital energy creating a new and a better realm of existence though its reverse turn is also apparent.
In The Return of the Native (1878) desire works as a driving force as the narrative fabric of the novel manifests 'desire' with its manifold implications.
In this novel 'desire' with its varied implications is seen to be integrated with the lives of the characters in such a way that it even influences human
subjectivity, creating a visibly poignant universe.

If we accept the definition of 'desire' as a strong feeling of wanting something, the fundamental impulse behind The Return of the Native is that of
desire. The term 'desire' indicates a central but diffuse and by no means unified concept or set of concepts. According to Michel Foucault, "the more
recent researchers of psychoanalysis, linguistics and ethnology have 'decentred' the subject in relation to the laws of his desire", and the concept of
desire has assumed an important but varied function in the field of theory.1 Freud's essay 'Beyond the Pleasure Principle' takes us closer to
understanding the formal organization of desire – the illusion of a striving toward perfection is here explained by instinctual repression and the
persisting tension of the repressed instinct, and the resulting difference between the pleasure of satisfaction demanded and that achieved. In Beyond the
Pleasure Principle and Other Writings Freud says:
...The gulf between the level of gratificatory pleasure demanded and the level actually achieved produces that driving force that prevents the individual
from resting content with any satisfaction he ever contrives, and instead –as the poet says–he 'presses ever onward unbridled and untamed.'(Mephisto

The Native American Reservations Of The Native Americans
The Native American Reservations Imagine being told that if you migrate to a certain location you'll be helped with nutrition and your finance will be
covered. Sounds good right? Well this is what the American government promised the Native Americans. A promise that wasn't granted. Many
reservations have actually created a sense of confinement and detachment. The reservations have limited resources which separates them from the
American Culture and society. This is shown through the laws we've passed to "aid" them, and the battle for other native Americans to stand up for
their rights. Also their constant struggle for justice. Native Americans have been widely ignored. Their past and current struggles they face. Most
Americans know all about know the happy Native Americans that have been celebrated on thanksgiving, but don't seem to know the ones who fought
for their rights . Many Native Americans didn't have a voice, and some still don't. During World War I, approximately 9,000 Native Americans fought
and died while protecting their own country in return they didn't have their rights granted to them. These rights included their Citizenship. Sounds kind
of crazy how you live on your own land but need a citizenship. Although, some Native Americans were given a chance to become a citizen, it involved
them not practicing their tribal traditions and adapting to American culture. ""United States citizenship was just another way of absorbing us and

The demands of federal programs determine the blood volume required to be Native. As federal programs increase and decrease so does the blood
volume required to obtain these benefits. Blood quantum is the display of colonialism and is gradually eroding and eradicating the roots of indigenous

I was surrounded by love and support by my family and never did I question my authenticity until I had to get a Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood
from the Bureau of Indian Affairs. I began to question my own sense of belonging to my own family and community. My inherited light skin and hair
did not fit the imagery of being Native and I began to question if I was "Native enough" to celebrate my culture and heritage. What does blood quantum
have to do with my heritage and traditional values? Nothing. Blood quantum divides and alienates Native American communities and spread
internalized self–hatred, separation, and fractionation. But the sad reality is my children will not be recognized by the US government as Gwich'in
Athabascan because they do not meet the quarter blood quantum requirements. Fortunately, the Gwichyaa Zhee Gwich'in Tribal Government

Native American History : Native Americans
Native American Lives Since the beginning of time, conquering other societies has been a common occurrence. Almost every battle that has taken
place has been documented. When stories of past battles are retold, only one side of the tale gets told, the victor's side. In history, the ones who have
been defeated never get to present their perspective of the tragic quarrels. Most never even lived to tell the stories, but the ones who do survive are not
thought of as important accounts in history. The Native Americans suffered tyranny far a plethora of years, and still do. When learning about the
indigenous people of America, it is taught through the "white man's" prospective, never through the eyes of the sufferers. By not telling both sides of
the story, the facts get skewed, skewed enough to have lies become the truth. So what is the real story behind Native American oppression? The
relationship between natives and the incoming settlers sparked when the East side of the United States started to be colonized. There were many
documented cases when it comes to first encounters between the two parties, but each individual interaction was diverse in documentation. The best
archive of first encounters involved a tribe called the Powhatan. From the very beginning the colonist were not looking to make new friends, but to

The question is asked through the character of Bigger Thompson when he commits a murder, the audience is forced to ask themselves whether he was

Being only nineteen he does not properly express his feelings nor does he understand other people's feelings. This could be seen when he kills a
rat for the family and then presents it to his mother and sister; he forces his sister to look at it despite knowing that she has previous trauma, the
audience knows this because his mother says "You stop that boy, you know this child's been bit twice before in her life by rats, suppose she wake
up one morning dead... Nothing like that ever seemed to bother you" (Freedman, Scene I). This is very important to the film due to the fact that it
communicates the audience two extremely important things about Bigger's character. The first fact being that he isn't concerned with how other
people feel and the second being that the thought of death doesn't affect or bother him. In the same fashion Bigger does another thing to solidify
that he does not have empathy or value human life. Inked in the pages of Native Son, but left out of Jerrold Freedman's film, Bigger commits more

There are many stakeholders involved in the dispute revolving around native title however, both the statue and common law is effective in producing the
fairest possible outcomes for all parties involved. The process of claiming land in more complex then simply applying for the claim, for native title to

Ever since the European settlements began in the America's in the early 1500's, indigenous tribes have endured continuous hardships in order to coexist
with white settlements and still maintain a sense of self and native cultural identity. Many of the hardships experienced by the Native American Indians
were the results of empty promises made by European settlers who used foreign laws, religion, and language barriers to oppress those Indians who
were willing to conform. Later, and further into the development of the United States, foreign laws and languages were used as a premise to manipulate

These public demonstrations included occupying federal government land and buildings and rigorous protest marches across the United States which
only few could complete by foot. By doing these demonstrations and raising awareness the grouped hoped to achieve an extensive treaty referendum
that included giving Native American Indians the voice they originally thought they were given in autonomy and politics, the restoration of lands that
were both taken away and damaged because of personal government interests, and a stimulus package which would help educate and remove Indians
from the poverty directly caused by the government. AIM members believed that the accomplishment of these goals would result in a prominent Native
American future in the United States, (Wittstock & Salinas, n.d.). AIM was established in 1968 in Minneapolis Minnesota and was most influenced by
the leaders Dennis Banks, Clyde Bellecourt, and Russell Means. Banks, Bellecourt,
Germain 3 and Means all had a personal history of poverty and alcohol in their reservations and witnessed abuse and discrimination from police and

Native Americans And Native American Identity
When European settlers arrived, they met the Native Americans currently occupying the land and saw opportunity. Opportunity, to use Native people
as a tool, taking their culture to help their own agendas. For hundreds of years Americans have maintained the practice of bending Native culture to
make it their own truths. In doing so, White Americans have oppressed Native People while simultaneously obsessing over their culture. The film, Reel
Injun narrated by Neil Diamond, and book, Playing Indian by Phillip Deloria, explore the different ways in which White Americans have exploited
Native American's identities and cultures, over the course of the United States' History to support and critique their own national identity. These very
basic and diluted constructs of the Native American's identity begin with the Native as a rebel, the Native as a noble savage, and the Native as
childlike and pure. Perhaps the most memorable of the archetypes, the Native rebel, has spanned across the history of the United States. The first
appearance of the Native rebel began with the Revolutionary War. As tensions rose between England and the American colonists conflict began to rise.

Their beliefs were mostly centered on nature and a mysterious force in it and spirits which were higher than humans, which would influence their
lives. The spirits would be relied on while hunting, searching for food or when people needed healing. There were different gods or spirits that
would be worshiped by some tribes, a shaman would help getting in touch with the spirits as they were religious people who were able to be in
close contact with the spirits. They were often seen as healers with magical powers that would heal sick people or use a set of broken bones that
would show the future to the shaman when tossed in a fire for example. Many people recognize some of the ways Natives would hold ceremonies to

stages of a genocide are: Classification, symbolization, dehumanization, organization, polarization, preparation, extermination, and denial. Indians were
victims of genocide because they were dehumanized by the Spanish colonizers, they lost their homeland to the American government, and were forced

In the United States, Native Americans are considered to be people whose pre–Columbian ancestors were indigenous to the lands within the nation 's
modern boundaries. These peoples were composed of numerous distinct tribes, bands, and ethnic groups, and many of these groups survive intact today
as sovereign nations. The terms Native Americans use to refer to themselves vary regionally and generationally, with many older Native Americans
self–identifying as "Indians" or "American Indians", while younger Native Americans often identify as "Indigenous". Which terms should be used to
refer to Native Americans has at times been controversial. The term "Native American" has been adopted by major newspapers and some academic
groups, but has not traditionally included Native Hawaiians or certain Alaskan Natives, such as Aleut, Yup 'ik, or Inuit peoples. Indigenous American
peoples from Canada are known as First Nations. Since the end of the 15th century, the migration of Europeans to the Americas has led to centuries of
exchange and adjustment between Old and New World societies. Most Native American groups had historically lived as hunter–gatherer societies and
preserved their histories by oral traditions and artwork, which has resulted in the first written sources on the conflict being authored by Europeans. At

of their interest in using these colonies for mostly for trade. Although the Spanish and English had an increasingly large grasp over the new world,

To be a Native American, one is not just born into the ethnicity, but it is the sacredness of the culture, language, religion, and land that makes a
person a true Native American, and without these things, there are no Indigenous people. Developing a culture is human nature, and for Native
Americans, their culture revolves around the land, and to take that away is to take away who they are. The land may not physically be a part of
Native Americans, but without their sacred land, there is a missing part of them. The building of telescopes on Mt. Graham is one example of
how the sacred Native land is being taken over. Just like how a wheel is a part of a chariot, the sacred land is part of a Native American, and
without it, Native Americans are not whole. Their culture is seen as inferior to white culture because of the Racial Contract, and is why their land is
treated with disrespect. Native Americans' sacred lands needs to be treated with respect and protected because without it, they are no longer Native

especially because of a connection with a god; connection with religion; considered too important to be changed" (Cambridge Dictionary). But what is

the joint judgement in Mabo (No1).
The decision saw an exponential increase in cultural and economic resurgence fundamentally oiled by the judgement. This case also established two

The Native Title Act 1993 was legislated following the decision in Mabo (No2). The Act itself extinguished the colonial doctrine ofTerra Nullius and
instead established native title rights. Terra Nullius as the name suggests is a Roman law concept, which literally means 'Land belonging to no one'.
Brennan J in Mabo decision rejected the doctrine and its early derivative concepts of native title and essentially replaced it with aboriginal customs,
traditions and laws which are recognised legally under Australian common law. The 1993Act provides a process through which the indigenous people
can lodge an application to seek a determination of native title to their land. There were significant amendments to the Act, including the introduction of
a registration test and indigenous Land Use Agreement. This mechanism allows the aboriginal people who assert that their traditional rights have not
been extinguished, and also to validate retrospectively the land titles of the occupiers that may have been called into question by decisions. The
judgement in Mabo (No2) depicted that until the decision, the Australian law was actually based upon the precept that with the acquisition of
sovereignty ownership of all lands would become the Crown's automatically. So this practically left no room for the common law to recognise any
pre–existing aboriginal law in the form of native title. The Mabo case undoubtedly changed this notion by identifying that radical title, rather than
absolute beneficial ownership was a concomitant of

  • 2. Native Americans : The Native American People The Native American people were a humble and self–sustaining race that was taken advantage of and exploited for their generosities. You will see that the Europeans will maneuver and essentially take a land inhabited by Native Americans by a series of actions that took place in the late 1400s to the late 1770s. Europeans will display acts of what seem to be kindness but is just a an act that in turn will weaken the Native American people. The Native Americans lived in a very open area with no established form of defense, such as a wall, from outside threats. Their homes were built from materials they found in nature, like trees to keep their structure vertical and brush to act as a roof. The Europeans lived in a more established community with boundaries and protection from foreign threats. Their homes were built of masonry construction, mainly stone and rock. When the Europeans first arrived on Native land, the Natives greeted them with open arms and curiosity. They were led by a man named Christopher Columbus. They were intrigued with things they had never seen before. For example, the Natives used cane for their spears for hunting but they were shown a weapon made from steel called a sword. After Columbus realized how trusting they were, he had taken a few of them as prisoners in search for gold. He enslaved the people who had just welcomed him and offered him peace. He treated them like incompetent people that he had planned to exploit for his own personal gain. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 3. Native American Asimilation Of Native Americans The film opens with the Native American victory at Little Big Horn over General Custer and his men on June 25, 1876. Custer's death and the Native American win sparked rage from the U.S. government and led them to redraw territories so that the gold–filled Black Hills would not be included in the reservation land. The event of the movie focus on the government's attempts to steal this land and the resistance of the Native Americans. 1)Who was Charles Eastman and what were the contending forces that shaped him throughout the film? Charles Eastman is born mixed–race and grows up in a tribe under the name OhГЌyesa in the Dakotas until he is reunited with his father who had converted to Christianity and changed his name to Jacob Eastman as part of assimilating into the United States like the U.S. government desired. Charles is educated in schools with white teachers put forth to facilitate the assimilation of Native Peoples. He is very bright and goes on to study at Dartmouth and Boston University medical school. Throughout his education he remembers his past and wants to make life for Native Americans better. He remembers his Native American people and their struggle but is also distanced from in and surrounded by white society. He is trusted by the powerful white men that he forms business friendships with while they try to use him to help in their exploitation and assimilation of the Natives by praising him and advancing his European–American style education.

  • 4. Native American And The American Of Native Americans The Native American population has suffered many tragedies at the hands of the United States government, from their first interactions through the mid–twentieth century. Government policies concerning American Indians worked in conjunction with the prejudices harbored by the majority of the white population in the United States to suppress Native American liberties and strip them of their cultural identity. These policies gave little to no regard for Native American customs, personal expression, or the future of Native American traditions, and had profound effects on the Native American individuals and families who encountered them. The boarding school policies enacted by the United States government regarding Native Americans that were formulated to encourage the destruction of native customs and force an entire race to assimilate into white American culture ultimately led to the alienation of Native Americans from their native heritage and a loss of their personal sense of self. Several government policies were created to control the attire and language of Native Americans. Among these were targeted regulations regarding how Native American students in boarding schools were to dress, act, and speak, oftentimes against their will or traditions. It was common for students to be prohibited from speaking their native language, encouraged instead to read, write, and speak in English only. One of the "General Rules" in "Rules for Indian Schools" explicitly states that "all ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 5. Native American Natives And Their Impacts Of Native Americans Journal #1 Entry 1 What are some of the diversity of Native American Indians prior to the arrival of Europeans? There were numerous diversities between Native American tribes prior to European arrival in North America. All tribe societies had shamans and medicine men. Natives did not feel that they owned the land, families were provided land by the tribal leaders to use for a certain length of time to hunt on as well as grow their crops for life sustainment. Along eastern North America, the Indians thrived on corn, beans and squash along with hunting and fishing. The Mound Builders of the Mississippi Valley, built structures constructed in a semicircular fashion overlooking the Mississippi River and traveled great distances to conduct trade with other natives. Western natives built enormous magnificent structures to house multiple families. They also built canals and dams to gather and bring water to their villages to sustain life. Throughout the New America, tribes had their own languages, religious beliefs, social and political systems. Entry 2 In what ways did the economy, government, and household structure differ in New England and the Chesapeake colonies? These two colonies formed for separate reasons, the southern colonist of Jamestown focused were economical and the fact that they wanted land.

  • 6. Native American And Native Americans Many years ago, Native Americans roamed North America. That was until the arrival of the whites lead by Columbus in 1492. The white Americans then began to take as much land as possible, contradict with the native's customs and tried to take complete control of their lives. Native Americans didn't believe in owning land– they believed that all of the land was everyone's to share. So when the white Americans find out none of the land is owned, they take control of the land, and slowly push the Natives out as they dominate the country. Now, out of the 318.9 million population of the U.S, only 1.7% of that is made up of Native Americans. In the 2003 census, there was recorded to be 562 different tribes, yet barely anyone knows much about ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The two different tribes I'm going to compare are the Plains Indians and the North west Coast. Most people assume that since they are considered the same race, that all tribes have the same customs, which is partially wrong. However, somethings are similar if not the same in different tribes. One of these customs is about gender roles. In both tribes, women were expected to all of the cooking for the family, 'cleaning' quilling, beading and more. For the women in the Plains, they were set with the responsibilities of setting up the tipis every time they moved areas, and preparing the Buffalo– tanning the hide etc. In the north West coast tribes, the women were expected to make woven baskets and prepare the food. The women were married off between the general age of 12–15 and had approximately 4 children. Men, on the other hand, are trained from a young age basic fighting skills. the boys living in the plains would learn horsemanship and fighting, so when he was old enough, he would join his male elders on a Buffalo hunt or battle. A male traditionally went to find the greater spirit when he was entering manhood (usually age 17) and on return, it would be determined how 'ready' it was. If he was fully ready, he would join the rest of the tribe on their next battle. If he was not ready, he would join the next buffalo hunt.

That was until white settlers came in and took away their land and buffalo. Whites forced them to adapt to white culture and learn how to farm wheat, and go to school. Whites even put them on indian reservations that had poor soil so their farming techniques were difficult.. Indians were nomads, they chased their food and never stayed in one home for too long. They used older technology like smoke signals. The finding of the buffalo was remarkable, they could kill the game and use every single part of it.

They even tried to say that they were helping the Indians by making them downsize. They would say that the annuities they gave me made up fro the smaller land. Whites did this with the Dawes Act an act that allowed authorization of president to move Native Americans onto reservations. To make matters worse, they then enforced Indians to basically become whites they could do this with Assimilation. Assimilation is trying to get one to change or become like one's culture. Many settlers, thought it was actually fair because they get 160 and so do the indians plus annuities yearly. White settlers probably thought they got the short end of the deal because indians got land and money. They thought they were helping the Indians with their farming and newer technology. That the killing of the buffalo and Assimilation would help indians be better off. Native Americans were treated extremely unfairly. They were thrown onto reservations, and we killed their buffalo. Some may it was justified, but it wasn't. Imagine whenever people come over to your house uninvited you feel kinda like what are you doing here? So just picture their situation of all misery, and just for gold and silver. We did need them to move along with us or move out of the way, but the way we took the situation was horrible.

  • 10. Native Americans And The War On Natives Imagine living in one place your whole life, that place is the only place you know. Now imagine people you have never seen before come, kill your family, spread disease, and take the land for themselves. That is what happened to the Native Americans in the 1700's and 1800's. One of the most disrespectful and saddest times in American History was in the 1850's with Westward Expansion and the war on Natives. During that time, there were many new cities being built in the East and the United States inevitably got too crowded in the East. Americans traveled west for more land and opportunity, but this is where most of the Indians were living at the time. Did the Native Americans have an aggressive nature, or did the Whites cause them to be hostile? The Whites greed almost caused the extinction of Native Americans and caused them to become hostile towards the Whites. With the Industrial Revolution going on, the world's population was growing rapidly with all the new medicine, technology, and agriculture being invented. America seem especially appealing because the country was so young with many opportunities. With all the new immigrants, the adventure seekers traveled west in search of new experiences. This is called Westward Expansion. They found new plants, animals, and gold. Everything was perfect for the White men except one thing, the inhabitants of this wonderful land. The Natives were seen as dirty, and behind in technology. The Whites also wanted the land for themselves. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 11. Native Son Adaptation In Richard Wright's novel, Native Son, the overall issue was with the main character, Bigger Thomas, being accused of raping Mary. The film tells the story of the main character Bigger Thomas, a 20–year old African American man who is growing up in poverty on the Southside of Chicago. Native Son displays a series of events and decisions made by Bigger that will alter his life. The purpose of this essay to examine Richard Wright's film adaptation of Native Son, and to argue that Bigger Thomas proves to be guilty of murder due to being present with the victim, him covering up the crime, and his history of violence. Wright's 1940 novel, Native Son had stirred up real controversy by shocking the sensibilities of both black and white America. Wright was inspired to make his readers feel the reality of race relations and that is how Native Son came about. Wright used his observances throughout the previous decade to sculpt the inherent challenges faced by the main character, Bigger Thomas, a 20–year old African American in the South side of Chicago. In a time, when the Great Depression was impacting the economy, the Dust Bowl was crossing the country, and an anti–lynching bill failed to pass in Congress, the context of history became an important facet of Wright's creation of the film adaptation. Firstly, Bigger Thomas proves to be guilty because he was with Mary on the day she was last seen by anyone. Mary, Mr. Dalton's daughter, frightens and angers Bigger by ignoring the social ...

Let's just say that there are 562 tribes, bases, nations, or pueblos that you could have said and they all are from North America alone. Approximately 229 of them are in Alaska. Hard to believe right? How many are there in your state? Native American tribes are found in 33 different states across the U.S. Most of which were put onto an Indian Reservation. If you are from the Central United States, you have probably heard of the Pawnee Native Americans. The people of the Pawnee tribe were brave and formidable people. They were known for their crop growing abilities and smart hunters. They also had many disputes with neighboring tribes. Their wars were usually violent. The Pawnee Indians would take prisoners from the previous battle and choose the best looking and the strongest individual and sacrifice him/her to their gods. The rest of the prisoners were then taken and tried to convert them into the tribe. But the one individual would be taken and treated like a king, giving him the best food and drink possible. Leading up to the sacrifice, there was partying and dancing for four days straight. When the time came for the man to be sacrificed, he was shot with an arrow by the chief and was killed. Then the rest of the tribe shot arrows into him as well. After the arrows were taken out, the body was cut open and all of the blood ran out.

  • 13. Native American And Native Americans Americans have long been fascinated with the imagery and lore of Native Americans. From early historians to Mark Twain to Hollywood, Native Americans have been viewed as savages, aggressors, monotonal in voice, and drunks. Native Americans have had a strong influence on America's birthplace including environmental issues to the diet and foods we eat. It was not until the arrival of the European settlers that Native Americans faced the deterioration of their civilization and culture. Events of the past have proven the relationship between European settlers and Native Americans have not always been pleasant. The extended history between these two groups has had a negative impact on indigenous people, due to the loss of life and culture. Since the arrival of Europeans, Native Americans have been culturally degraded and discriminated against in the United States through the taking of land, the denial of religious freedom, and the direct impact of health and welfare. Since the arrival of the Europeans, Native Americans have struggled to maintain ownership of their land and sacred burial grounds. American Indian author, Vine Deloria, Jr., author of "God is Red", wrote about the Aboriginal World and Christian History. He explained that, "The status of native peoples around the globe was firmly cemented by the intervention of Christianity into the political affairs of exploration and colonization.

  • 14. Native American And Native Americans Native Americans have been forced out of their culture over time, forced into assimilation, lost their rights, and have lost their land due to policies and laws by the whites that can't bear the Native American way of life. There used to be many Native American tribes all throughout North America, and now these tribes are spread across the country and are blended into the rest of the population. The native ways have changed drastically in the last two centuries due to relocation programs, Indian boarding schools, and the way to classify which tribe each person belongs to. Native Americans have endured so much pain, which results from everything they have lost over time, and they have constantly paid the price for their ethnicity. To begin with, whites were against the Native American ways of life. In the 1700 and 1800's, native tribes were given the worst land for how the needed to survive with their lifestyle (Urban Relocation Program). Most were forced to live on reservations where most of the people were at or below poverty levels. The urban relocation programs were set in place to move more natives off reservations to nearby cities for better job opportunities, where they were supposed to receive stipends to live while they found work, which was not always given (Urban Relocation Program). Many natives did not prosper in the city and resort to drugs and alcohol, in which some ended in death. The idea behind relocation was to turn the natives into "urban Indians". By ...

  • 15. Native Title Case Study Law reform in relation to Native Title has developed and become testament to the growing justice for the ATSI community, however effective mean and complete justice is yet to be achieved. From the changing values and attitudes of society, alongside conditions of social change and new concepts of justice– ATSI justice is being implemented, with law reform. With seminal cases alike Mabo and Wik, legislation has been delegated and changed accordingly; with the recognition of Native title – finally succeeding in overturning the "terra nullius" doctrine, which for centuries has damaged and hurt the ATSI peoples.

With the change from Keatings progressive labour government to John Howard's' conservative Coalition government, came resounding regression to the Native Title act, with the 10 point plan, and the coinciding Wik decision nine months after. The Wik VS Queensland case (1996) established that in cases of conflict between pastoral leases and native title, pastoral leases override and can successfully extinguish native title , which was adopted with the change of legislation and introduction of the Native Title amendment Act (1998). If there is no conflict, they can coexist. Many cases of Native Title extinguishment has occurred, and only approximately 600 areas hold Native Title in all ofAustralia, with less than 1% in NSW. As a procession from the Native Title declaration, this legislature has digressed justice to the ATSI community , and as further iterated by Sydney Morning Herald has "undone the good of the Mabo decision". ATSI discrimination following the legislation of the Native title Act (1996) significantly rose in the public discourse with renowneded personalities claiming they could "take their backyards", and an unspoken deeply–rooted fear for many, dating back to Australia's colonization; that Australia could be declared completely under Native Title, and the sovereignty of the Crown could be questioned . For ATSI peoples', the introduction of the 10 point plan, and the Native Title Ammendment Act (1998) marks a significant national regression upon achieving justice for their community as they sought to pour ""bucket–loads of extinguishment" on the native title rights of Indigenous Australians.

  • 16. Native Indians And The Native Americans Throughout history from the founding of the New World to what we are today the Native Tribes have been always pushed around. Never able to settle down nor were they able to make peace with the Europeans as they took their land and killed off their tribes. Struggles with disease and European troops, the Native Americans attempted to fight back. Most of the time unsuccessful, but the natives did have their one or two victories. It was almost as if the Natives were nothing but balloons floating in nothing they were just pushed aside when they were not needed for allies for war or slavery. It never got easier for the Native Americans, never given a chance, the Native Americans were constantly forced around and never had a place they could love and call a home. Indian Territory a place of peace for the Native Americans somewhere they could stay and not be bothered. The downside to this territory was that the Indians could not preserve it for so long until settlers started to want the land."Subsequent treaties and laws gradually reduced the size of the territory" (Powers 1). The reduction of Indian Territory gradually decreased at a fast rate. For Example, due to the settlers pushing the government to hand out land to people the government would try to secretly migrate settlers out to the western lands.

After Captain Cook, missionaries continued to travel to Hawaii to, in their opinion, help the Hawaiian people. Native Hawaiians were viewed as savages and were seemingly given the best assistance from the missionaries. However, the help that the Hawaiians received led to them being demoralized and hurt psychologically and physiologically. In order to succeed, underdogs often need the assistance of others. However, too much aid from others can result in the help becoming the underdog's Goliath instead of their savior.

Before Captain Cook stumbled upon Hawaii, the Hawaiians lived in harmony with the 'aina, or the land. They lived by ahupua'a, or strict land divisions that respected the natural landscape. Communities were created around rivers and water sources. The Hawaiians had a strict law system called the kapu.

According to Michel Foucault, "the more recent researchers of psychoanalysis, linguistics and ethnology have 'decentred' the subject in relation to the laws of his desire", and the concept of desire has assumed an important but varied function in the field of theory.1 Freud's essay 'Beyond the Pleasure Principle' takes us closer to understanding the formal organization of desire – the illusion of a striving toward perfection is here explained by instinctual repression and the persisting tension of the repressed instinct, and the resulting difference between the pleasure of satisfaction demanded and that achieved. In Beyond the Pleasure Principle and Other Writings Freud says: ...The gulf between the level of gratificatory pleasure demanded and the level actually achieved produces that driving force that prevents the individual from resting content with any satisfaction he ever contrives, and instead –as the poet says–he 'presses ever onward unbridled and untamed.'(Mephisto in Faust I, Faust's Study) ...

In history, the ones who have been defeated never get to present their perspective of the tragic quarrels.

For hundreds of years Americans have maintained the practice of bending Native culture to make it their own truths. In doing so, White Americans have oppressed Native People while simultaneously obsessing over their culture.

This lead to Native Americans being methodically pushed off their land, deceived multiply through a broken treaty, and most of all, not being completely recognized as citizens by the rest of American society.

All was decent with the Dakota Sioux until the summer of 1862. They had an inflation of cutworms that demolished many of their corn crops, leaving their ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 39. Native Son Blindness Blindness is the loss of sight, and it can be temporary or permanent, but is it more complex than we know. Native Son was written by Richard Wright. It tells a story about a twenty–year–old man named Bigger Thomas, who is uneducated and black. He and his family lived in a one–room apartment on Chicago's South Side during the 20th century. He was given the opportunity to work for a wealthy, white family called the Daltons. However, on his first day, he ended up murdering their only daughter, Mary and later his girlfriend, Bessie. Bigger was eventually caught by the police and Max was his lawyer for the case. In the end, the court final decision was giving him a death sentence. Throughout Native Son, Wright revealed that blindness affects everyone... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Gus and Bigger were playing a game called playing white. It was an acting game in which they imitate white folks. Gus was not really into the game as Bigger was. They acted as Mr. J.P. Morgan, the President of United States, Secretary, and General. Some of the words they said were "I heard it in movies. 'I want you to sell twenty thousand shares of U.S. Steel in the market this morning,' 'Well, you see, the niggers are raising sand all over the country,' Bigger said,... 'We've got to do something with these black folks."(Wright, 18–19) This shows that the main character, Bigger, saw the white men as people with power just like the ones in the movies. The characters they chose to play were rich, powerful, and affiliated with the government. In Bigger's mind, he did not think he was blind instead he believed in everything he saw and heard. It surprising that Bigger incorporate the ideas of the blacks in the game but in a bad way. This reveals continued to prove the blindness Bigger have. However, towards the ending of the story, he admits that he was blind in certain ways but it could not be changed. Therefore, Bigger's blindness was the effect of thinking that all whites act the same way and it is because of this thought that led to his murder of Mary ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 40. Native Title Analysis between persons of different colour, race, national or ethnic origin so that one group enjoys a right to a lesser extent than a person from another then, by force of the commonwealth law they shall enjoy the right to same extent. The operation of the provision of the Act was summarised in passage from the joint judgement in Mabo (No1). The decision saw an exponential increase in cultural and economic resurgence fundamentally oiled by the judgement. This case also established two basic principles for determining the existence of common law native title. Thus the 'recognition' of aboriginal people's law and customs in relation to the determination , and its twin concept of ' extinguishment' of common law native title. In response to the court ...

The Act itself extinguished the colonial doctrine ofTerra Nullius and instead established native title rights. Terra Nullius as the name suggests is a Roman law concept, which literally means 'Land belonging to no one'. Brennan J in Mabo decision rejected the doctrine and its early derivative concepts of native title and essentially replaced it with aboriginal customs, traditions and laws which are recognised legally under Australian common law. The 1993Act provides a process through which the indigenous people can lodge an application to seek a determination of native title to their land. There were significant amendments to the Act, including the introduction of a registration test and indigenous Land Use Agreement. This mechanism allows the aboriginal people who assert that their traditional rights have not been extinguished, and also to validate retrospectively the land titles of the occupiers that may have been called into question by decisions. The judgement in Mabo (No2) depicted that until the decision, the Australian law was actually based upon the precept that with the acquisition of sovereignty ownership of all lands would become the Crown's automatically. So this practically left no room for the common law to recognise any pre–existing aboriginal law in the form of native title. The Mabo case undoubtedly changed this notion by identifying that radical title, rather than absolute beneficial ownership was a concomitant of ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
