    The film that I choose to do a respond on is the film “Mending Ways: The Canela Indians of Brazil.” In the film, the anthropologist, Dr. William H. Crocker from the Smithsonian Institute of Anthropologist studied the Canela tribe for over 30 years. The film is divided into two parts which is the first is about how he studied the tribe and its culture. A few years later, merely about 20 years, he studied the change in the community which lead to the second part of the film. What interest him in studying the tribe is not just their unique way of life, he is also keen to know their extraordinary bonding and conflict resolution skill among people in the community which is commonly known…

    Hoover was only thwarted from breaking the firm American tradition of laissez-faire during a depression by the fact that the severe but short-lived depression of 1920-21 was over soon after he took office. He also faced some reluctance on the part of Harding and the Cabinet. As it was, however, Hoover organized a federal committee on unemployment, which supplied unemployment relief through branches and subbranches to every state, and in numerous cities and local communities. Furthermore, Hoover organized the various federal, state, and municipal governments to increase public works, and persuaded the biggest business firms, such as Standard Oil of New Jersey and United States Steel, to increase their expenditure on repairs and construction. He also persuaded employers to spread unemployment by cutting hours for all workers instead of discharging the marginal workers – an action he was to repeat in the 1929 Depression.(4) Hoover called for these interventionist measures with an analogy from the institutions of wartime planning and collaboration, urging that Americans develop “the same spirit of spontaneous cooperation in…

    The impacting photos that Jacob had taken in the late 19th century, in the city of New York had the chance to show the middle-class the effect it could have on readers, and them wanting to help immigrants. “How many Americans understood what the immigrant life was like?” In addition, the middle class does not really care for the immigrants up until the point where it affects the middle class and that includes money and certain rights. “Jacob Riis had taken hundreds of photos of tenements, his work had been first published in eighteen eighty-nine and later became a book named, How the other half lives.” Riis wanted to expose his pictures of the immigrants living conditions to upper…

    The fact is, in my opinion, this PARTICULAR tribe's representatives acted rashly and in poor taste. Better yet, a small HANDFUL of their tribal leaders made mistakes, not the Umatilla tribesmen in general. On a personal level, I fully believe that I have about as little bias toward any race, sex , religion, etc., and as such, it galls me to see people claim "racism" because someone wishes to have their right to present ALL of the evidence regarding a topic, and what they are saying simply doesn't agree with your preconceived notions or status quo. Please, enlighten me as to how exactly was it a malevolent act of racism for the archaeologists to merely suggest that the remains featured in the documentary were likely not Native American in origin, at least in the classical sense? Does it make you "go back to the drawing board", so to speak, and have to reevaluate your beliefs about how you and your people came to be? The greatest minds, neither…

    Indigenous people, who have never experienced certain diseases, have never had the opportunity to build up an immunity to them. This had a huge impact of the First Nations peoples when the Europeans brought over "Smallpox". Smallpox was easily spread, either through direct contact with someone who had been infected, or by a carrier, someone who had the disease yet never displayed symptoms. In 1789, there was an epidemic, and even more surprising was the fact that there was evidence that the natives had had smallpox before. Once the native Australians met and traded with the Macassans in the north, they traveled to their home regions, carrying smallpox with them, until it finally appeared in the southeast regions. Further epidemics were noted in 1820, 1830, 60 and 70. The influx of smallpox was devastating to the Aboriginal people, wiping out 90% of the First Nations population. It was an ailment that they were not prepared for, and their native medicines couldn’t cure.…

And even when health care facilities are available, poverty and isolated living often keep them from being able to use those facilities.…

    Alongside African Americans, you can find Native Americans at every status and income level in the United States. Today, Indians living on reservations are one of the most disadvantaged, and disregarded groups in society. They face exclusion, and look for their own purpose now stuck on a path between assimilation and pluralism. Even after facing years of Americanization, there are still tribes out there who have preserved a part of their traditional culture. They have also managed to retain their value systems, politics, and lifestyle patterns that survived military conquest and the way they are forced to live…
