    The Acoma Indians centered their lives around the myth of the Corn Mother, known to them as Iatiku. Born in the underworld and nursed by Tsichtinako (who is known as the “Thought Woman”), Iatiku’s purpose is to “bring life to all the things in your baskets in order that the world be complete for you to rule over it” (Merchant 49). According to their beliefs, Iatiku is responsible for the creation of the four seasons and the spirits that ruled over each season, the formation of the “katsina,” who were Cloud-spirits of the ancestors that resided within a lake in Wenimats, and the inception of Tsitsanits, known as “Big Teeth,” who’s responsibility was ruling over the katsina. The intersubjective relationship that the Acoma Indians have with nature…

    Native American Culture

    • 629 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Culture can be defined as a system of beliefs and values that a specific group of people share, which ultimately make up their society. As the exploration period in Europe reached a peak, Europeans were being exposed to entirely new cultures previously thought to be nonexistent. Europeans coming from Spain, France, and England brought their cultures to the New World, but their ethnocentric beliefs and ideology of superiority would have devastating effects for Native Americans (Nichols, p.30). Similar to Europeans, all Native American tribes had specific cultures that defined their way of life. As Europeans continued to encroach on Native lands, cultures collided, and misunderstandings fueled ignorant biases which would eventually result in…

    I have always loved parts of Native American culture. Growing up, I read a mystery series about a girl named Mandy, and throughout the series her family is introduced. Part of her family is Cherokee, and they are peaceful Christians, at least in this series. I also watched a number of shows such as The Lone Ranger that showed Native Americans in a positive and peaceful light. Of course I also learned about the warrior history of certain Indian tribes, and how they were mistreated by outsiders while I was in middle school and high school. I did not know about the term vocables, but since I learned it I have used it quite often, because it seems like popular, modern music is now venturing to use vocables, so I pointed that out to my friends.…

    The Communist Manifesto

    “All men are created equal.”In the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Frederick Engels, the writings are closely linked with economic and social domination with class, with little attention to the inequalities linked with gender. Marx did not comment much on the system of gender domination prevalent in his own time and he was not publicly associated with the contemporary movement for the emancipation of women-contrast his silence with the writings of John Stuart Mill, for example (Mill). Feminism and women played an important role in the development of communist institutions. The pattern and treatment of women is still observed today in many communist countries.…

    Sample Essay One In the story “Yellow Fish,” the main character is never directly described or mentioned. The reader must inference everything except their name, Anu. The author creates the character through reflections and other various techniques. Throughout the story, the writer uses very choppy sentences, as well as fragments, to represent Anu’s stream of consciousness. By doing this, the writer gives her a timid, scarred personality. By limiting the sentence structure, Ambai indirectly leads the reader to believe that Anu is depressed, and has faced tragedy in her life. The author does this to foreshadow the reflection on Anu’s loss of her child. The reflection itself also serves purpose to the author. Anu says, “The mouth of the urn.…
