1. The American Indian view of the colonial missionaries’ influence on the “education” of the Indian is how the colonial missionaries changed their norm behaviors where they had to change their beliefs to the “European culture” (Colonial Missionaries and Their Schools, 2004, p.15). Also, they criticized the Indian daily life of cleanliness, lack of discipline for the children (Colonial Missionaries and Their Schools, 2004, p.15). I feel that the quote that said by H.G. Wells was relevant to the Indian communities at that time period since the colonial missionaries changed and controlled the Indian lifestyle by giving them better education and lifestyle. The article, Colonial Missionaries and Their Schools, explained that most of the Indian children who were taught by the missionaries were separated from their parents since the Indian parents did not understand the influence that the missionaries had for the Indian children (p. 16). One point was mentioned in the article about how confused the Indians were when they were the victims of the missionaries and “Christians” cheated and sexually abused them since they

    In this book, Deaf in America, by Carol Padden and Tom Humphries, the two authors wrote stories, jokes, performances, and experiences of Deaf people. They also wrote Deaf culture and Deaf people’s lives from various angles. This book is great navigator of Deaf world for hearing people and even Deaf people as me. There are several factors attracting reader. To begin with, I could learn about backgrounds of deaf people and hearing people. Authors wrote about a Deaf boy who was born into a deaf family. Until he discovered that a girl playmate in neighborhood was “hearing”, he didn’t notice about “Others”. Authors explained, “She was HEARING and because of this did not know how to SIGN; instead she and her mother TALK” (Chapter 1). This story strongly impressed me. I was born into a Deaf family too, but I grew up with hearing grandparents. In my childhood, I did intensive oral training with my grandparents. So, I can sign JSL and talk Japanese smoothly. Therefore I never felt emotion like this occasion, “Others” to hearing people. The next factor is difference of “Deaf” and “deaf”. For example, the capitalized “Deaf” people are not only “deaf” but also user of Sign Language. I haven’t known the meaning of “Deaf” and “deaf” exactly before, thanks to this book, now I can understand. When I analyzed myself, I identified as “Deaf” because I truly cherish Sign Language. In addition, Sign Language is explained as a primary mode of communication for Deaf people including me. It has full access to communication for us. Unfortunately, some hearing people misunderstand that Sign Language is a kind of gestural communication. Authors wrote about it, “ASL are often thought to be direct representations of spoken words” (Chapter 3). In my country, Japan, there are some misconceptions about JSL too. Sign Language has both iconic and abstract concept.…

    ANSWER: The problem with Indian Boarding Schools was that Indian children were taken from their families to learn the American culture. These kids were made to stop dressing; speaking, thinking, and believing “like Indians”. For native girls’ assimilation to American culture consisted of training in menial occupations and in domesticity, which they…

    The assimilation into non-reservation boarding schools has had a lasting effect on Native Americans. In 1879, Captain Richard H. Pratt founded the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, which was the first federally funded off-reservation Indian boarding school and quickly became the model for institutes all over the United States and Canada. The schools were set up as a way to teach Native Americans to be civilized, because they were thought to be savages, because there was a belief that the “white” culture was superior and needed to be asserted. The objective of these boarding schools was to “kill the Indian but save the human” (Indian school: Stories of survival, 2011). “Between 1880 and 1902, 25 schools were established to educate between 20,000 and 30,000 Native American students” (Barnes & Bowles, 2014). By the 1930’s most of the non-reservation Native American boarding schools had been closed, and their practices viewed as inhumane.…

    In “For the Children of the Infidels”?: American Indian Education in the Colonial Colleges, Bobby Wright argues against contemporary historian and literary glorification of colonial colleges’ attempt to educate Indians and convert them to the Christian faith. Instead, Wright claims that colonial colleges used the guile of educating and converting Indians to perpetrate their own success. In support of his claim, Wright referenced the Virginia Company, Harvard, William and Mary, and Dartmouth; all of which, he argued, used the contrived cause of Indian missions as a way to obtain funds from England.…

    Multiculturalism is described as “the practice of giving equal emphasis to the needs and contributions of all cultural groups especially traditionally underrepresented minority groups in a society” (Webster’s, 2003). In our country “it is estimated that by the year 2050, no more than 50% of the population will be of Anglo ancestry” (Cillo, 1998). It is also important to consider and recognize the number of sub-cultures that exist such as interracial couples, the disabled such as children with autism, and homosexual cultures.…

    The word revolution had been defined as overthrow of government: the overthrow of a ruler or political system. That is exactly what the Revolutionary War had successfully completed. There is no exact point during this period that would constitute the cause of the war. It could range from the French Indian War to the Stamp Act. Mainly the Revolutionary War began because there was a disagreement between Great Britain and the thirteen colonies. There were series of events that led up to the Revolutionary War.…

    Deaf President Now Essay

    • 3 Pages

    The Deaf President Now movement in 1988 has been characterized as one of the most significant moments in the history of Deaf people. From March 7-13, 1988, Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C. was the site of a historic protest against the appointment of yet another hearing university president. It was early in 1983 when the 4th university president, Dr. Edward C. Merrill, Jr, was stepping down that he himself promoted the idea of a deaf president. The idea didn’t truly catch on until a few years later when a group of faculty and students formed the President 's Council on Deafness (PCD), which was an advocacy group who felt that many of the deaf students needs were unable to be met with so many of the university’s administration being hearing. This group, along with many others, both within the university and without, worked tirelessly to make their wishes known to the Board of Trustees who were in charge of the selection process in 1987-1988. Although two of the three finalists for the position were deaf, ultimately the Board decided to go with the one finalist that was hearing, Dr. Elisabeth Zinser.…

    A Man Without Words

    In her book, “A Man Without Words,” Susan Schaller describes how the eighteenth century French philosophers continually exercised speculation as to how much of human nature was "given" and native, and how much was dependent on language and culture. She encountered Ildefonso, a Mexican Indian who lived in the most unique form of isolation, who was born deaf, and had never been taught even the most basic language. She set herself the challenge to make contact with this man, and introduce him to language. Ildefonso not only lacked any language but lacked any idea of language: he had no conception, at first, of what Schaller was trying to do, yet Ildefonso had a yearning to communicate and to be more than just himself in isolation. Inclusively, this book vividly conveys the challenges, frustrations, and the exhilaration of opening the mind of a congenitally deaf person to the concept of language.…

    The topic of the Native American Indians has been shallowly dove into within most History classes at some point or another. Although, due to the set criteria that schools have to follow there is often not enough time to fully divulge into the subject. Indian culture differs immensely from that of the American culture. Also, their beliefs, in topics across the board, are far different from modern American beliefs. Native American Indians, a resilient group of individuals who have persevered through a myriad of trials and discrimination, have established themselves as a fundamental piece of America’s history.…
