    The Northwest Coastal Indians, Kwakiutl, lived in what is now Alaska along the Pacific Ocean down the coast to Northern California. The environment was very diverse and often extreme which included a rugged strip of land with small islands, deep inlets, inland rivers and lakes, deep fjords, and wide and narrow beaches. Mountains rise to the shore in many places. Spruce, cedar, and fir forests dominated the area supplying endless amounts of wood. All the people lived near the water and relied heavily on the water for survival. Temperatures were moderate, which allowed the people to fish all year. There was access to the Pacific Ocean for fishing and collecting food like clams and shellfish. Salmon was the most important food.…

    One of the many reasons for travel that our class thought of was imperial conquest. In “The Second Voyage: The Cannibals” we see the raw power of imperialism. However, one aspect of imperialism that’s gaining attention in our contemporary world is the dehumanization inflicted upon the native peoples conquered. Two aspects of the reading that most stood out in this respect and that demonstrated the attitude of the Europeans towards the native peoples are the label “cannibal” and the rape that Cuneo committed. The term cannibal deprives the humanity out of the locals and strips them away of their decency as a people. It forces us to consider how we often times may revere historical leaders despite their flaws. Moreover, we’ve discussed…

    Officially, Holodomor never existed. The carnage of Holodomor caused many people to ask questions, evidence was destroyed and denied. Statin ordered anyone who conducted the 1937 population census were shot and all evidence were to be suppressed. Furthermore, Ukraine political leaders were destroyed and the depopulated areas were inhabited by other ethnic groups (“Soviet” par. 5). Offers of help were sent out by other countries but were denied since it was considered anti soviet propaganda (Mace par.5). Consequently, the famine ended with millions of deaths. Even after the destruction, many people were starving resulting in cannibalism (“Cannibalism” par.1). Even when Holodomor ended in 1933, the Ukrainian people did not really stop suffering,…

    What Banner had said, what he had revealed, didn’t register until Loki spoke. Until he put two and two together. Unlike the magician’s placid exterior, the scientist revealed the wild storm raving inside in an exasperated jab against the graffiti, hard steel. The fresh onslaught of pain jolted the idle beast inside with an increased heart-rate, but coming to his feet still in his own flesh, his own mind or what he thought, the human began to pace. He’d be lying to himself if he thought the pain hurt, if it mattered, the truth was, however, he felt nothing – physical pain losing its meaning a long time ago, along with his humanity.…
