    Identify Relevant Legal Requirements and Procedures Covering Confidentiality, Data Protection and the Disclosure of Information.

    Listening is the most important way in which to establish a respectful and professional relationship with a child or young person. By people listening to what a child has to say, without interruption, shows the child that they are interested in what the child has to say. By not interrupting the child, it shows that their views and opinions are not only respected, but are also as important as the views and opinions of the person they are talking to. You should maintain eye contact; concentrate on what the child is saying and physically lower yourself to the child’s level to make the child feel more comfortable and shows the child they are respected and on the same level as the adult. You should also take an active interest in what the child has to say, this will show the child that you respect them and make them feel like you want to hear what they have to say.…

    Impressions of an Indian Childhood and the School Days of an Indian Girl

    Impressions of an Indian Childhood and The School Days of an Indian Girl What is Gertrude Bonnin complaining about? Is she even complaining? She got to go to school and get an education for free. She even went on to go to college. Very few white Americans could say that in those days, much less Native Americans. Even today a free ride through college is a rare occurrence. Of course she experienced a few hardships along the way. Learning a new language was definitely a challenge for her in the beginning, although one she overcame quite well (after all, she did win an oratorical contest at her college). Living by the rules of a different culture was another challenge for her. But she eventually became accustomed to the new ways and she learned how to adjust. And of course she went through many years of discrimination and persecution, simply because of the fact that she is a Native American. But in the long run, wall the challenges she overcame helped to improve herself as an individual and as a representative of a culture. We must all go through hard times and face many difficult challenges in our lives if we want to make a better life for ourselves. As long as there are different races, racism will always exist. People like Gertrude Bonnin who can overcome racism and discrimination by succeeding in the "white man's world," are the people who help others like them be accepted in our…

    Indian Cultural Background

    I have two cultural background which are Cherokee Indian and African American . Cherokee is really pronounced as “CHAIR-uh-kee” in our language. Cherokee comes from a Muskogee word meaning ‘speakers of another language’. Cherokee Indians originally called themselves Aniyunwiya “the principal people,” but today they accept the named Cherokee. But in their language it is pronounced Tsadagi . The Cherokees are original residents of the American southeast region, particularly Georgia, North and South Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee. Most Cherokees were forced to move to Oklahoma in the 1800's along the Trail of Tears. The Cherokee Indians who survived this death still live in Oklahoma today. Some Cherokees escaped the Trail of Tears by hiding in the Appalachian hills or taking shelter with white neighbors. These people live scattered throughout the original Cherokee Indian homelands. Trail of Tears was the Cherokee name for what the Americans called Indian Removal. During the 1800's, the US government created an "Indian Territory" in Oklahoma and sent all the eastern Native American tribes to live there. Some tribes agreed to this plan with no problem. Other tribes didn't like this plan at all , and the American army forced them. The Cherokee tribe was one of the largest eastern tribes, and they didn't want to leave their homeland. The Cherokees were peaceful with the Americans. So they asked the Supreme Court for help. The judges decided the Cherokee Indians could stay in their homes. But the President, Andrew Jackson, sent the army to march the Cherokees to Oklahoma . They weren't prepared for the journey, and it was winter time. Thousands of Cherokee Indians died on the Trail of Tears. Many Native Americans from other tribes died too. It was a terrible time in history. There are three federally recognized Cherokee tribes: the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, the United Keetoowah Band in Oklahoma, and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians in North Carolina.…

    childhood indians

    According to the lectures and the people’s history the purpose of the proclamation line was for the British to get out of the way so the Northern colonies can deal with their Indian problem. the colonial settlers didn’t allowed the British to cross their line because the British were in debt for the war and there was a large population of poor who they knew the people who lived in those lands were making profit out of trading, which is an opportunity to make a better life. I think for that reason they didn’t want to share that business and wealth. Another reason the colonials didn’t let no one in the northern lands was the rise in rebellions with the Indians. As more people come to settle the Indians go off to kill those people to protect their territory. i think what those settlers were trying to prevent their land and their way of living reaching out of their control. If the colonies didn’t prevent people from coming to the North it will be overcrowded and they didn’t want to lose their standard of living because the loss of profit opportunity. Also if there were more Indians in those lands there will be bigger number of rampages and killings and the settlers knew if that situation would get out of hand there government will not go out to protect the person, which shows how far those people will sort to protect what they claim.…

    The Indian Woman

    This mentality leads families to treat them as objects who should remain pure and be controlled: women are their fathers' property, and later their husbands'. Parents worry so much about "losing face" in the community that while boys have all the freedom they want, girls are constantly advised not to do anything that would "bring shame". This mentality explains why so many are forced into marriages, or even murdered by their own parents. It leads to mothers excusing away the heinous crimes of their sons by saying: "If these girls roam around openly like this, then the boys will make mistakes."…
