Human beings are supposed to be kind and treat others with respect. The problem about humans, is the way we act toward each other based on their skin color. Racism is a major obstacle in multiple countries. Humans have a history of discriminating people on the simple things such as religion, language, and nationality. For example, when Rosa Park was victimized when she refuses to move to the back of the bus, she went to jail for standing up for herself and her race. At her time, white people were really racist and treated African American with disrespect. If she didn’t stand up for herself, we wouldn’t have a law of treating others with equality. She made a change and we should make a change as well. Therefore, tolerance, human qualities, and respect are the reason why people should accept others who are different from themselves.…
J.R. Miller’s article entitled “Victoria’s “Red Children”: The “Great White Queen Mother” and Native-Newcomer Relations in Canada” was published in July 2008 in the Native Studies Review, Vol. 17 Issue 1, p1 -23. The article examines how even though First Nations people suffered tremendously during Queen Victoria’s reign, they maintained their strong allegiance to the Crown mostly due to their kinship mentality. Miller notes that slowly but noticeably, by the end of Victoria’s reign the Great White Queen’s Red Children were beginning to adjust their rhetoric to use the Crown and imperial government at Westminster as counterweights against national and provincial governments within Canada that were oppressing them.…
Not with all the good intentions of all the best American politicians, any policies devised to help a Native American Nation could succeed without the full understanding of the diverse cultures within these Native American Nations. Any Policy made in this era is doomed to failure.…

I choose the Navajo culture because when I was twelve I had a friend that was Navajo. She taught me a lot about her culture, and what it was all about. So, I thought doing the Navajo culture would be a perfect topic for me to research because of my personal connection to my friends life. This tribe of the Native Americans is the largest one in the United States to this day. Doing the research has taught me a lot more of the nature of the culture and the beliefs. That their culture is so different from our culture as Americans. These cultural elements are great . Their language is a completely different dialect, their religion is unique as well as their customs, traditions, and the art of literature.…

education. Many argue that education should be available and accessible for every individual regarding ethnicity or how a person looks and is. Those with higher education seek to getting a better paying job in the future and have a much stable career opportunity which allows the person to give back to the community and spread the word on how important being educated is and how when a person tries their best they will get far in life.…

Henry Roe Cloud was devoted to the improvement of Native American education. He had experienced firsthand the effects of boarding school, from receiving a new name to being separated from his tribe. Cloud believed that the current form of education for Native American children then, was not a well-rounded one that would benefit the children. The focus of “civilizing” children only worked to deprive them of important subjects of study. He thought that this form of education was incomplete because they could not receive additional education at their Native American homes. In a white home, children would receive additional education that would supplement what was lacking in public education. However, in Native American homes children could not…
Black Americans, segregation, and slavery. Most of the people who have studied American history recognize the inhumane actions towards people of color during the 1960’s and 1980’s. Yet, people often are not aware of the similar acts perpetrated on the Native Americans during the same period of time. The Native Americans had to suffer their past of external shame imposed on their culture and tradition by the White American society, followed by a coercion of White American culture due to the government proposal of the “Indian problem.” Nevertheless, the Native Americans maintained their pride in their identity and culture internally, within their tribes, and carried out such acts as Ghost Dance, valuing their own tradition. While it may seem paradoxical, both shame and pride of culture and identity simultaneously resonate in Native Americans today as a means of letting go of the unpleasant past and moving on to the future with a new hope.…

Then the Native Americans spit-up and settled and created the culture areas. Depending on the environments the Native Americans had different basic needs to survive such as clothing, food, and shelter.…
From as early as before the time of the arrival of the European settlers, Native Americans have suffered tremendously. The establishment of the early English colonies and the future creation of the American nation impacted the lives and destiny of the Native American people extremely. One example of this is the Trail of Tears, an event which brought lots of people sadness and grief. Another example is the loss of their land, something which exceptionally changed the lives and destiny of the Native Americans. The last example is diseases, something that the Native Americans caught very often. In summary, the creation of the early English colonies and the future formation of the American nation impacted the lives of Native American people more than one will ever know everything about.…
