In Aleesha’s case it was apparent that aside from needing policy changes to the hiring process along with policies that help military families, there are also other political factors that failed Aleesha. One which seems to be a large scale issue is the drug prevalence in Aleesha’s community. Since Aleesha’s drug use predominantly began in her neighborhood and later progressed when she moved in with her boyfriend, which happened to be in the same neighborhood, it brings up the question of the accessibility and drug use in this area. It seems that the high drug use perhaps could also have played a role in her involvement with drug distribution. The political factor at hand that affected Aleesha immensely was drugs, because due to drug use and…

In studying my area category of scholarship, I have learned about a handful of systems that have perpetuated poverty on reservations and specifically in Yakama, and also the impact that the U.S. government has in increasing this poverty. In the Treaty of 1855, which lead to the creation of the Yakama Reservation, the U.S. government guaranteed the Yakama people with 1.3 million acres of their original 10.8 million acres that they lived on. The rest of the land was declared “ceced land” and was give nover to white settlers. This treaty had the largest influence on land and natural resource loss, both of which are necessary for flourishing in a kin-ordered society’s way of life. In 1922, the Bureau of Indian Affairs decided to move the Yakama…

As he processes to bend his knees down he extends his arms out, leaving them straight down as they enter the grocery bag. This is done while he keeps strong eye contact with his father and not the item. Jara’na grips the item, still with his arms straight and not having a single eye contact with the…
