The Dakota and Lakota people lived in large buffalo-hide tents called tipis (or teepees). Tipis were carefully designed to set up and break down quickly. An entire Sioux village could be packed up and ready to move within an hour. Originally tipis were only about 12 feet high‚ but after the Sioux acquired horses‚ they began building them twice that size. Here are some pictures of tipis and other Indian houses. Today‚ Native Americans only put up a tepee for fun or to connect with their heritage.

In the article it talked about how the men gather food and are responsible for the protection‚ while the women construct the house and care for the tykes‚ and gather firewood. Almost like how America was in the 1950’s and even the Native Americans in the 1700’s. The societal transformation that shocked me was that the women will go

8. How can the dream at the end of the story be related to the major incidents that precede it? The dream at the end of the story is about the circus with his grandfather. He refused to laugh at the clowns no matter what they did. There is a relationship between clowns at circus and the black boy in battle royal.

As Andrew Kohut wrote here‚ “56 percent of Democrats believe that many people will not vote for Mr. Obama because he is black.” With the first ever African-American presidential candidate‚ race is certainly the great unknown of the 2008 campaign‚ but there is significant empirical evidence to suggest that Mr. Obama’s skin

After the 1980s‚ Aboriginal people have only been somewhat successful in having their issues such as self-government‚ social conditions‚ land claims‚ and residential schools addressed. Self-government is one of the issues that the First Nations have been moderately successful
