History Of Canada During The Conquest Of The Desert
1. History Of Canada During The Conquest Of The Desert
Two course themes which the Conquest of the Desert connects to are legacy of colonialism, as well
as assimilation. The Conquest of the Desert occurred in Argentina in Patagonia from 1789 to 1790
with the aim to establish dominance over Indigenous groups in the area, as well as to convert the
Indigenous populations. Throughout this time, thousands of Indigenous peoples were killed and
displaced by the Argentine settlers, (Bustos–Videla, 1964). The Conquest of the Desert is a clear
example of colonialism, which is the process in which a group of settlers establish a settlement in
another country, which affects those who were Indigenous to the land, (Morgan, The Legacy of
Colonialism, 2017). Often this will often involve the extrication of Indigenous peoples from their
lands, their history, their identity and their rights, (Morgan, The Legacy of Colonialism, 2017). This

Effect of the Environment on Western Settlers
As the country grew and expanded, the American people where always one to push their bounds. In
1763, we proudly, defied England's proclamation of the year, and settled west of the Appalachian
mountains. A little later, the westward people pushed Indians, animals, and society to a place where
no
American person had gone before. But all the while, one important factor determined where they
transported themselves, where they settled, and what they did when they got there. This factor, the
environment, profoundly affected the settlers way of life, and other factors, such as the Indians and
the railroad, only aggravated a pre–existing condition. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
With an increased sense of independence, women had gained rights to vote and proprietorship. But
with this increased sense of independence came the added responsibility of being the family doctor,
chef, and provider of family comfort and support. Women even faced the grim possibility of giving
birth on the trail.
The environment also affected the health of the people who lived in the west. In the middle of the
desert, with scarce sources of food and water, the people and environment became one. With the
water remote and out of hand, the emigrants faced higher incidents of dysentery and diarrhea, which
stemmed from their inappropriate water supplies.
The environment also molded another aspect of our westward ancestors– their style of architecture
and development. In the east, where the land was expensive and hard to find, people generally built
towards the heavens. But in the lands west of the Mississippi, where the land was found easily and
very cheaply, the people generally built outward with buildings no taller than two stories. Perhaps
we should of learned from the Indians of the past, who built in natural recesses in the mountains to

American settler colonialism is no different than the colonialism in South Africa, Australia and
Algeria because the similarities between them: indigenous populations were depleted, indigenous
resistances arose, and colonizing culture religion becomes the dominant culture. Indigenous
population was depleted in two way: through human involvement and also by biological diseases.
Biological diseases killed the vast majority of Indians in the 16 century.

7. The Conflict Between The Old World And The New World
From the Roman Empire to the thirteen original colonies, there is one attribute that is present in
almost all of history: the desire for power and control. This struggle for supremacy is at the heart of
colonialism, where one nation–state takes political control over another and exploits that nation–
state economically. The conflict over power in colonialism is especially true in the interactions
between the Old World and the New World, when the Western European nations began to colonize
the newly discovered Americas. However, the development of colonialism has become less
noticeable over time, as the method of colonization continues to change and humans become more
and more intelligent. Throughout the history of the New World, the development of colonialism
becomes increasingly subtle because of the changing methodologies for colonization and the
continuous expansion of human intelligence, which is evident in Pizarro's conquest of the Incan
empire, American colonists' history of injustices toward Native Americans, and the reasoning behind
the Mexican American War.
Pizarro's conquest of the Incan empire is illustrative of the nature of colonialism at the very
beginning of the discovery of the New World by European explorers. The rapid colonization of the
Americas was far from subtle; the Spanish conquistador method of colonialism is rooted in direct
conquest through violence and war. The primary motivation behind colonization for the Old World
can be summed up in three words:

Most people have experienced an event in their lifetime that has caused them to develop trust issues,
and many of which will never overcome this lack of trust in others. There is a specific reason for
this, and it all begins with the issue at hand itself, trust. Everyone with trust issues has been wronged
and used relating to their trust in another person. They were betrayed by someone they never
imagined could hurt them. As a recent song created by the rock group Phish has reverberated, "Each
betrayal begins with trust." Betrayal has been a common theme in all forms of literature since time
began and is a part of being a social being, humans, that we simply cannot avoid. Where there is a
relay of trust, there is an individual willing to extort it. Just as though some individuals will exploit
power wherever they can find it in order to better themselves, others will exploit trust to better
themselves. This first exploit of trust can be found within Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales.
While the whole entire work exposes corruptions within the Catholic Church during Chaucer's time,
the breaking of trust is actually demonstrated within the Pardoner's Prologue and Tale. At the end of
the Pardoner's tale, he offers the pilgrimage relics, for a fee of course. However, at the prologue of

Teachers who suffer from settler teacher syndrome, act within a system of schooling meant to
solidify an epistemological and ideological foundation for settler colonialism, and do so with little
critical consciousness. Having been indoctrinated into settler colonialism, and by seeing the system
of schooling as neutral and normal, teachers are employed as cultural gatekeepers and function to
maintain systems that are harmful to students of color. One could also use Hill Collin's matrix of
domination, a black feminist construct, to explain the phenomenon. Hill Collins described the matrix
of domination as structural, disciplinary, hegemonic and interpersonal in nature – "the structural
organizes oppression, the disciplinary manages oppression, the hegemonic justifies oppression and
the interpersonal influences oppression" (blinded for review). In both the settler colonial framework
and the matrix of domination framework, teachers are both actors and acted upon. Their places
within a system of domination is dependent upon them not being furnished with the opportunity to
critically interrogate the system they are so intricately linked to. I argue that suffering from settler
teacher syndrome is not wholly a conscious condition, but rather an (un)intended consequence of
functioning within settler colonialism. I'd also like to think that they suffer from lack of knowledge,

impediment to development in Canada. In my research essay I propose to engage the analytical
concept of intersectionality to critically interpret government–led development initiatives in Canada
and the wider world from a postcolonial/feminist perspective. Thesis Canada is often recognized as
a developed society on the world stage, with elaborate institutions and treaties in place to ensure the

importantly – to end the ongoing targeting of Aboriginal Women and Children in Canada. In this

practice of forced sterilization of Metis women in Canada. Drawing on the examples of Maori
maternity, I will situate the struggles of both gendered and ethnic people from dominant discourses

The Diné means "The People" and it is what the people that we know presently as the Navajo went

Liberation" by Majerle Lister states that "'Navajo' is not a Diné word or concept, despite its use as
our [the Diné] official name for more than a hundred and fifty years." This is a clear example of how
settler colonialism has impacted the Navajo Nation. Settler colonialism has had an impact in the
Peoplehood matrix of the Navajo from language and sacred history to place/territory and ceremonial
cycles, yet it has not stop efforts from the Navajo Community to mend the damage that settler
colonialism has had on their culture over the years. Let's start with the language portion of the
Peoplehood matrix and the affects that settler colonialism has had on Navajo. In Peoplehood, it is
stated that the language portion of the Peoplehood matrix is "a group–particular language, by way of
its nuances, references, and grammar, gives a sacred history a meaning of its own, particularly if
origin, creation, migration, and other stories are spoken rather than written" (Holm, et al. pg. 13).
Especially in the late nineteenth century, Navajo children like many other indigenous children were
sent to boarding schools. Settler colonialism resulted in a need to as Native Words Native Warriors

Colonialism, is basically where a country takes over partially or completely of a foreign land. They
claimed the land as their own and begin to abuse it for their own advantage. Many restrictions in
education, employment, and health benefits are imposed by the white settler to the colonized.
Settlers started establishing their own homes, therefore, they impose by force their own culture upon
the colonized. But, they also begin to exploit them for their own economic interests. Frantz Fanon a
famous anti–colonialist thought that European colonialism had tremendously affected the
indigenous societies negatively. European colonialism affected the colonized human because they
did not get the benefits of the white. The colonized people received from very little to nothing of
everything that the westerns gained through the colonized hard labor. There was a clear separation
between the "exploited from those in power" (Fanon). Meaning, the exploited were the colonized
and the ones with power are the European colonist. First, they were stripped from their territory and
enslaved to work the land. In other words, they worked to live. All of the goods were made by them,
however, most of the profit went to the white settlers pockets increasing their wealth. All while the

First Slide:
Classical Colonialism occurs when metropolitan nations fuse new territories or peoples through
means which are virtually involuntary such as war, conquest, capture, and additional forms of
enforcement and control. (Biauner 1987,150) Classical colonialism is distinguished by economic
exploitation, forced entry, and cultural imperialism through the establishment of new institutions and
methods of thought. (
Settler Colonialism is a constant social and political arrangement in which new
comers/colonizers/settlers come to a place, claim it as their own, and do whatever it takes to vanish
the Indigenous people who reside there.
Settler Colonialism imposes heteropatriarchy which is asocial framework in which heterosexuality
and patriarchy are seen as ordinary, and natural, and in which different configurations are perceived
as unusual, deviant, and offensive.

Armenians have always considered themselves as native, even after the genocide. However, Turkish
Republic wouldn't accept that fact, and needed the Armenian territory without the Armenians, which
proves Patrick Wolfe's point that "settler colonialism comes to stay". Moreover, it does not put a
time for itself to leave; however, day after day settler colonialism looks forward to ideas that make it
a deeply rooted in the colonized territory. In the book The Sounds of Silence II, Ferda Balancar
describes her experience in Diyarbakir. Although Diyarbakir had Armenians [5] when she was a kid
(1960's), after ten years the Armenians were known as a minority; not only that but also isolated.
Balancar used to live in an area called "Giaour Neighborhood"[4] (Balancar, 36). The existence of
the Giaour neighborhood and the fact that even little kids know about it displays the prejudice
towards Armenians. Indeed, there is somebody who taught these kids the word "Giaour". Whether it
the school or the family, this kind of teachings has one goal "elimination of native" or forcing them
to leave. She states " We feel like aliens although we are here" (Balancar, 36). The author shows the

THE GREAT DIVIDE:
HOW AND WHY THE APARTHEID DIFFERED FROM TYPICAL COLONIAL RULE
It is a well–known fact that during European colonial rule, Africans were exposed to a multitude of
injustices including warfare, slavery, and the occupation of their lands by European invaders. In
retrospect, the ashes of traditional African societies are what built thriving European–owned African
mining, agricultural and rubber economies. But nothing that Africa had previously suffered was
quite like the apartheid, which South Africa was exposed to from 1948–1994. The apartheid was a
systematic of racial segregation in South Africa enforced by the all–white National Party with the
goal to "separate South Africa's white minority from its non–white majority, non–whites from each
other, and to divide black South Africans to decrease their political power". In essence, under
apartheid, the rights, associations, and movements of the majority black inhabitants and other ethnic
groups were curtailed, white minority dominance was maintained. This essay explores how the
apartheid mirrored the core values of traditional colonial rule but was still fundamentally influential

Internally African, Indian and European settler interests were also at variance. More often than not
European settlers had the ear of pro–settler governors. Moreover, in the interest of capital these
policies were anchored on partial dissolution and restructuring of pre–colonial structures. It was also

greater enthusiasm during the post–Second World War period more popularly known as the second

This town is significant, because it is where most of Arcadia's early inhabitants came from. Most
were people from Lee's Park that had moved so they could be close to the railroad that was built to
run through Arcadia. When Arcadia first became a town, on October 3, 1885, the town shared a
school with Lee's Park. (A View of the Valley 25). As Arcadia's population grew, the demand for a
school within the town itself became a constant demand, and eventually the two towns split the
school. As a result, Lee's Park diminished population–wise and continued spiraling downward until
the town was completely gone. By about 1890, Arcadia's population had climbed to nearly 429
people. (A View of the Valley 25). Businesses began popping up all around town and people began
to settle in and make a life for themselves in this peaceful valley. By 1900, there were over 35 local
businesses. Some of these businesses include a barber shop, bowling alley, variety store, bank,
lumber yard, two grocery stores, two drug stores, and two cafés. Just as people began to settle in, the
town began to test the perseverance of the inhabitants, by throwing struggles at them in every way

The perspective is not merely historical because the settler–colonial ideas continue to influence
relations between Euro–Canadian settlers and indigenous peoples (Woolford & Benvenuto, 2015).
The propositions of settler colonial theory are based on observations of the ontological framework
of settler society that casts indigenous groups as a separate nation with practices that justify the
denial of indigenous rights. The ideology eventually becomes ingrained in settler society to the point
where the racist paradigms are pervasive and operate unconsciously on all levels of interactions
between indigenous and non–indigenous society (Denis, 2015).
Economic and Social Movement Alliances The economic alliance between Indigenous people and
the business community has become more common in the post–TRC and Canada 150 environment.
The business alliances generally can be characterized as a paternalistic partnership in which the
business organization exogenous to the indigenous community takes the leadership of the alliance
despite the common economic objective. An example is the strategic alliances formed by joint

Colonialism is "a specific form of imperialism involving the establishment and maintenance, for an
extended period of time, of rule over an alien people that is separate from and subordinate to the
ruling power" (Jones slide). Three ideological tenets stand out as justifying and facilitating European
colonialism and imperialism. The first tenet was a legal–utilitarian justification, according to which

Jamestown
In the sixteenth century, England was one of the most powerful countries in the world. England was
also in dire need of money at this time. In an effort to alleviate the country's financial burdens, King
Henry VIII decided to seize land owned by the Catholic Church. Henry then sold the already
inhabited land to investors, and its residents were forced out. These people and their descendants
would eventually become some of the fortune–seeking colonists that would settle America during
England's try at Imperialism.

Although the colony was near water and had a good location for shipping goods, it was surrounded
by a swamp and stagnant water. This allowed disease to run rampant. Jamestown only lasted until
1700 when its settlers abandoned it, and moved Williamsburg.
The colonist's primary objective, as mentioned before, was to make money, and also try and drive
out Spanish colonies. None of the colonists concentrated on survival and focused on their search for
prosperity. Because of all the time spent on looking for gold or the route to China, and their lack of
skills, the colonists were not prepared for the harsh upcoming winter. The results were devastating.
During the winter of 1609 – 1610 almost ninety percent of the colony was wiped out, and only 50
out of the 500 colonists survived.
The government of the colony consisted of a governor and 12 council members, all whom were
appointed. The government, named the Virginia Council, had no decision making power at all.
Everything was sent over to England, settled there, and then sent back. This system was
outrageously inefficient and often took several years for anything to be resolved. This absurd and
inept council was another reason the death toll at the colony was so high. They couldn't force people

Colonialism occurs when metropolitan nations fuse new territories or peoples through means which

(Blauner 1987,150) Colonialism is distinguished by economic exploitation, forced entry, and
cultural imperialism through the establishment of new institutions and methods of thought.

If they were liked by and found to be useful to the European men, then they were considered to be
virginal, pure, and beautiful, however if the European men found they were not useful to them, then
they were considered to be haggard, sexually obscene and ugly. The fact that the worth, reputation
and sexuality of the indigenous women was decided based on their relationships with the European
men, is a significant example of heteropatriarchy. This example shows how the European men held
all of the power in the society and felt that they held the power to decide how attractive or sexually
active a woman was. There is also a root of racism in this example, as the white European women
were held as the example of a "good woman" and were considered to be innocent by nature, whereas
the indigenous women, as women of colour were automatically considered to be sexually obscene,
unless they proved themselves otherwise. Another example of how hetero patriarchy was imposed
on the indigenous women was how the Europeans attacked the lack of patriarchal family structures

Influences of Settler Colonialism
Settler colonialism is the replacement of an indigenous populations cultural identity with the beliefs
and customs of an imperial power. Throughout the novel entitled "The River Between," the
influence of settler colonialism can be seen through their conversion of Christianity, their new
economic and political involvement in Europe, and their new–found appreciation for education.
A major influence derived from settler colonialism is the expansion of Christianity amongst the
Gikuyu people. The spread of Christianity or, to some, the epidemic of Christianity, began a major
divide between the two ridges of Kenya. The conversions tested the loyalty of the tribe members and
created a sense of insecurity as to whether or not the "white man" would destroy the sacred practices
of their people. This insecurity brought on questioning and hatred thrown between the Makuyu and
Kameno people. A tribe once unified, was now being torn apart due to the influence of the
Europeans. Each person in the tribe made a choice to either practice the tribal rituals and customs,
such as circumcision, or to leave and follow a new faith that denied all relation to the ethnicity they
had grown accustomed to. We read of people, such as Nyambura and Muthoni, who went through
doubts towards their faith and some such as Waiyaki, who were stuck in the middle. We see the

Terra Nullius is an example of how settler colonialism tried to take ownership of Australian land.
Terra Nullius is a Latin word that means land belonging to no–one (Craven and Parbury, 1999).
Captain James Cook claimed Australia and declared that Australia seems to have no fixed habitation
but instead habitants of the land, move around from place to place like wild beasts in search of food
(Craven and Parbury, 1999). The British settlement and takeover of Australia affected, attitudes and
treatment of Indigenous. Terra Nullius denied the humanity and existence of Indigenous Australians
and can be considered the cause of most racism towards Indigenous Australia. This has led to the
White Australia Act, which depended on the non–existence of Indigenous and also the racialisation
of Indigenous Australians. The Indigenous population in Australia became subject to racialised
identity categories based on their degrees of blood, labelling and classifying people as 'full blood,'
'half cast' (Maddison, 2013). This policy led to removing Indigenous children from their families
and communities. This policy was enforced with the intention to erase the Indigenous population, by
blending them into invisibility within the colonial population (Maddison, 2013). However, in 2008,

I'm aware that was 5 months ago, but it's honestly taken me this long to decide whether I love or
hate it. My family, including my 8yo and my 7yo, really enjoys playing Settlers of Catan, so when I
found out there was a version based on the building of the transcontinental railroad in the United
States, my little homeschooling heart just about burst. The game, Catan Histories: Trails to Rails, is
around the $50 mark, so I hesitated... a lot. I finally caved over the holidays because... learning and
Catan and awesomeness awaited us if I could just fork over the cash. SPECS:
The box says this game is for ages 12+, 3–4 players, and that the game takes about 2 hours. In
comparison, the original Settlers of Catan game says it's for players ages 10+, 3–4 players (but you
can buy expansions for more players), and that the game takes about an hour. REALITY:
We've played the original game with my younger kids without issue. The concepts are not too hard
for them to understand, but I've never met a Catan game that "only" lasted an hour. Ever. It usually
takes us 2–3 hours, even when it's all adults playing and no kids. Basically, I don't believe a word on
the box. Trails to Rails is actually more accurate on the box, but I still don't think a game could be

Roxanne Dunbar–Ortiz covers much of this in her book Indigenous People's History of the US,
where she goes over many historical events contributing to the genocide, exploitation, and exclusion
of Native Americans. In the beginnings of white colonial interaction with indigenous people, settlers
used native peoples as sources of knowledge on how to live off unfamiliar land:
"They appropriated what had already been created by Indigenous civilizations. They stole already
cultivated farmland and the... crops domesticated over centuries, took control of the deer parks that
had been cleared and maintained by Indigenous communities, used existing roads and water routes
in order to move armies to conquer, and relied on captured Indigenous people to identify the
locations of water, oyster beds, and medicinal herbs (Dunbar–Ortiz 46)." Without Native Americans,
Dunbar–Ortiz argues, the European settlers would likely have not survived in the New World at all,
for "had North America been a wilderness, undeveloped, without roads, and uncultivated, it might
still be so, for the European colonists could not have survived (46)." This is only the beginning of
settler exploitation of Native Americans, though, as settler–colonialism later changes its stance of
racialized logic to that of exclusion, leading to mass genocide and appropriation of indigenous land.

69. Colonialism By Ypi Vs Sartre
Colonialism is a multifaceted term. It used to be referred to people settling in a new country while
remaining citizens of the homeland, and being granted property rights in the new country by the
occupying authorities. Nowadays, it refers to settling and depending on a land for resources and
sustenance, but still being controlled by their country of origin in terms of politics and economics.
This may involve simply utilizing the foreign land's natural resources, or outright extermination of
the local population to take possession of the land. It has taken on a negative connotation, with
settlers denying the natives basic rights, and becoming conquerors instead of peaceful settlers at an
equal status as the natives. Ypi and Sartre both agree colonialism is the unfair treatment of the
colonized by the colonizer, and it can ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Next, I summarize the major arguments that separate their approaches. The first point I make is that
Ypi takes a more nuanced perspective on the unequal relationship between the colonizer and the
colonized, whereas Sartre takes on a stronger stance, and states that the inequality is not only
political, but also in terms of the denial of human rights of the colonized. The second difference is
that Ypi focuses on the administrative framework of the country, whereas Sartre has a humanitarian
and industrialist approach. The third argument is that Ypi does not support an autonomous structure
of the country by virtue of territorial rights of the colonized, whereas Sartre seems to favor a form of
independence of the native people, and the removal of all settlers from the territory. Finally, this
paper attempts to compare these three approaches, and reaches a conclusion on which one is most
convincing.

Bradford uses a bland, matter–of–fact style of writing which is common for the time period in which

"According to the usual manner, many were afflicted with seasickness" (Bradford). Bradford
chooses to express events as simply as he can, allowing himself to ghost over tedious details to
instead focus on his underlying purpose. Unlike Bradford, Byrd prefers to make use of a more
sarcastic tone in his text, often taking his descriptions into great detail. He pokes fun at influential
and important events, often removing the severity from situations with a humours flare. "Several
repeated misadventures of this kind did for some time allay the itch of sailing to this new world, but
the distemper broke out again" (Byrd). Byrd's writing is compiled of witty lines and blunt remarks
that prove his distaste for the early American settlers. It is clear he disapproves of the Pilgrim's

Colonialism is broadly defined and universally acknowledged as the process of occupying and

the research for this literature review is how were European settlers successful in colonizing
indigenous lands? This question is instructive as to which methods western colonizers utilized were
most effective in invading foreign lands and decimating the existence of the host culture. Responses
to this question allow for the analysis of imperialist systems as well as their enduring effects, in
order to indicate and dismantle the presence of these oppressive practices in todayʻs society. The
literature that examines the process of colonization discuss these methods in three major categories;
coercion through violence and decline in population, trade and economic development, and cultural
decimation. The first argument discusses the coercion of the native people to accommodate the
desires of the western settlers through violence and the reduction of their population. The second
theory asserts that colonialism was achieved through capitalist efforts to develop native economies
and establishing trade relations. The final theory argues that the elimination of the native identity,

Canada 's existence as a colonized nation in a post–colonial environment requires its citizens and its

history by naming streets after people that the nation believes to be worth honouring. Yet these
surface patches of honour are continued acts of oppression, colonial power and of the insincere
desire for reconciliation. In this paper, I will argue that Toronto 's attempts to honour Tom Longboat
by naming a street after him, the space known as Longboat Ave actively erases parts of his history,
as well as parts of Toronto 's history. I will also argue that a more complete, accurate and respectful
history exposes not only the failings of the current methods of reconciliation, but how Toronto and
Canada may move towards a more effective, inclusive and respectful story. I will accomplish this by
incorporating Kauani 's essay "A Structure, Not an Event", as well as Patrick Wolfe 's "Settler
colonialism and the elimination of the native" in order to showcase how street naming is a part of
the colonial process of claiming Indigenous identities and successes as Canadian, juxtaposed to a
history of deliberate, colonial alienation. I will argue that this surface act of reconciliation is truly an
act of settler colonialism and of assimilation. I will also evoke the arguments and methodology
