Paper Abstract: Analysis of Lakota Sioux, relations with white government & subjugation of Lakota culture. Paper Introduction: In the book Land of the Spotted Eagle, Luther Standing Bear offers an analysis of his people, the Lakota Sioux, their relations with the government of the whites, and a strong sense of what it means to be part of a population whose land has been systematically stolen, whose culture and rituals have been denigrated, and whose future is in doubt. Luther Standing Bear was raised in the traditional Sioux manner. He was away from the Pine Ridge Sioux Reservation in South Dakota for sixteen years before returning in 1931, and soon after, he wrote this book. His absence gave him the point of view of both a tribal member and an outsider at one and the same time, for he could see where changes had been made and could compare the way his people lived on the reservation with the way people lived elsewhere. His outside experience coupled Read the Entire Essay. If this paper is not what you are looking for, you can search again: or We can write a Custom Essay for you. | ||

Paper Abstract: Argues that Native American reservations are in a unique legal position as nearly sovereign political entities. Examines gambling as most effective means by which tribes generate revenues, & some positive & negative responses. Paper Introduction: Introduction: In recent years, various Indian tribes have turned to casino-type gambling operations as a way to generate revenues and to overcome the deep-seated unemployment facing many tribes. Various commentators have noted the sudden growth of legalized gambling on Indian reservations. This shift also can be considered a sign of the sweeping shift in public morality that is under way in virtually every municipality, Indian and non Indian, across the country as gambling has become an acceptable form of mass market entertainment. In 1992 Americans spent more on legal games of chance than on films, books, amusement attractions, and recorded music combined; in that same year Americans spent three times as much money at Indian gambling casinos as on movie tickets (Magnuson, 1994, 169).

Paper Abstract: Compares & contrasts the books Sanchez' RABBIT BOSS & Momaday's HOUSE MADE OF DAWN, focusing on their shared themes of primitive people trying to exist alongside a modern Western culture. Paper Introduction: The Sacred and the Secular Introduction In the Judaeo-Christian tradition, and in the modern West, the divide between the sacred and the secular is particularly pronounced. This is not the case for all cultures. In modern Saudi Arabia, for example, the sacred runs like a thread through each person's daily life. Historically, indigenous people have also had daily lives that were characterized by an ongoing relationship to spirit. What happens when indigenous people have to coexist with modern Western culture? According to the two books under consideration in this analysis, the result of the encounter is disjunction, confusion, and a great deal of despair. Before Encounter Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Critiques article on fundamental traits of Amer.-Indian culture which differ from white culture, focusing on resulting educational issues. Paper Introduction: Carol Locust’s article, “Wounding the spirit: Discrimination and traditional American Indian belief systems,” offers an enlightening perspective of the American Indian culture from an insider’s point of view.1 By highlighting the fundamental characteristics of American Indian culture, which deviate from those of non-Indians, she illustrates the difficulties encountered by American Indian students in public schools. Teachers and administrators in the schools fail to recognize the sanctity of the cultural beliefs and practices of American Indians. Therefore, the American Indian students are wrongly punished when they violate school rules in order to adhere to the customs of their tribes. Educators need to broaden their learning on American Indian beliefs and customs. Without acquiring an understanding and Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Compares cultural & institutional change among two Indian groups from pre-colonial structures, encounters with Europeans, focus on theory of cultural differentiation & identity. Paper Introduction: This research paper will compare and analyze the cultural and institutional change among the Powhatans and the Southeastern Nation Indians during the 19th century. In this paper, the pre-colonial cultural and institutional structures will be explored to determine their potential change. Then a brief description of the changes of the two groups of Indians will be examined and compared. The Powhatans were a farming people who lived a stable lifestyle, governed by an orderly government. Women were responsible for the cultivation of the fields, while the men hunted and fished (Rountree 5). They prided themselves on their possessions by wearing deer hides that were decorated with different ornaments (Rountree 7). External clothing and decorations were also used to delineate the social hierarchy on Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Definition of Indian, biological & cultural adaptation, Cahuilla & Chumash groups. Paper Introduction: As soon as humans crossed the land bridge to the Americas and began to settle here they also began a process of adaptations to their new world. Some of these adaptations would prove successful and some less so, although the definition of human success is sufficiently complex to preclude any simple assessment of various adaptations. This paper briefly reviews the idea of both cultural and biological adaptations before looking specifically at the types of adaptations made by two American Indian groups that settled in Southern California with an attempt to assess the functionality of their choices. The fact that American Indians have been dramatically reduced in population and power in the last half-millennium indicates that at some level their adaptations were dysfunctional ones. However, a tenet of evolutionary theory is that one can measu Read the Entire Essay. If this paper is not what you are looking for, you can search again: or We can write a Custom Essay for you. | ||

Paper Abstract: Historical, cultural, legal & economic issues of efforts by New York & southern CA tribes to institute gaming. Paper Introduction: In the 1980s the possibility of legal gambling on Indian reservations emerged as a potential means for many Native American peoples to revitalize their societies and pull themselves out of the dependency and poverty that reservation life had brought them. There were many variations in the process of instituting gambling on the reservations--but the primary differences were in the reactions and the efforts of the many tribes. Two examples of Native American groups who sought to institute gaming on a sufficient scale to revitalize their economies were the Mohawk of northern New York and the numerous tribes of southern California. In New York a terrible "Mohawk civil war," as the popular phrase put it, tore apart the Akwesasne, Kahnawake, and Kanesatake reservations (Johansen xxi). But in California the battle over gambling pitted the Read the Entire Essay. If this paper is not what you are looking for, you can search again: or We can write a Custom Essay for you. | ||

Paper Abstract: Origins of first people in Amer., threats from Europeans, successful & unsuccessful adaptation & evolution, culture, language, assimilation, focusing on Southern CA. Paper Introduction: The first people to come to the New World probably came to the Americas across the Bering Land Bridge or the land mass that is sometimes called Beringia. The archaeological record is still somewhat confusing on this point, and researchers continue to sift through the physical clues to the earliest human presence in this hemisphere, trying to determine (for example) whether there was a sufficient density of prey animals in the Bering area to have afforded enough food for humans to sustain themselves during the long journey between continents (Dixon, 1993, p. 28). Other researchers examine the connections among the languages of the New World to try to uncover relationships among the first peoples of this place. Linguists now believe that the languages spoken by American Indians could never have belonged Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Nature of Amer.-Indian culture, biased policy of European colonists, land appropriation, negotations & treaties, violence, sovereignty. Paper Introduction: The treatment of Native Americans by whites in America during the period 1600-1820 illustrates the problems that can develop when people with different cultures come together. When Europeans first reached North America, they found hundreds of Native Americans tribes occupying a land abundant with natural resources. The whites had virtually no respect for the spiritual, cultural, and intellectual riches of the people they referred to as Indians. Whites believed they had “discovered” a new world which was their destiny to dominate. They quickly set about altering the way of life of indigenous people. For the Indians, the consequences of their interaction with whites has most often been tragic. Prior to the 18th century, there was no national policy on Indians simply because the American nation had not yet come into Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Introduction: INVOLVEMENT OF AMERICAN INDIANS IN THE CIVIL WAR This research paper discusses various aspects of the involvement of American Indian tribes in the Civil War, including their reasons for becoming enmeshed in that conflict, their experiences and treatment during the war and the significance of their involvement on their subsequent history. Indians did not play an important role in the outcome of the war; however, the war served to further weaken their position and hastened their virtual extermination and decline. Thousands of Indians became engulfed in the war as combatants and many thousands more as innocent targets and refugees, especially in the conflict which raged west of the Mississippi in and around the Indian Territory now known as the State of Oklahoma. The War intensified internecine struggles within and among a number of Indian tribes. Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Origins of AIM, evolution of activism, organization, leadership, major issues, fish-ins, urbanization, Alcatraz protest, response of govt., Wounded Knee occupation. Paper Introduction: The Beginning of the American Indian Movement Introduction The American Indian Movement (AIM) was born out of the civil unrest and protest of discontented urban populations in the mid-1950s and 1960s in the United States. However, it should be understood that AIM was only one organization in a system of American Indian activism that dates back to centuries of mistreatment of Indian people. Despite its all-inclusive name, AIM was never accepted as a voice by all Indian peoples. Thus, an analysis of the organization, its founding and its success must be placed in the larger context of Indian protest activity, which existed before the founding of AIM and continued in many ways separate throughout AIM's existence. Early Indian Protest Activity and Collective Action Amer Read the Entire Essay. If this paper is not what you are looking for, you can search again: or We can write a Custom Essay for you. | ||

Paper Abstract: Reviews work on gender, sexual & racial issues & impact on Indians of state's social transformation in mid-19th Cent. Paper Introduction: The purpose of this research is to examine the treatment of gender and sexuality in Albert Hurtado's Indian Survival on the California Frontier. The plan of the research will be to set forth in general terms the pattern of ideas emerging in the work, and then to discuss how the specific issues of social gender and sexual identity in the communal environment covered in the work are articulated and analyzed, as well as the relevance these issues have for a more complete understanding of how the shape and structure of the California Indian population shifted as the characteristics of the far western frontier were defined in the nineteenth century. The transformation of California from an unsettled frontier to a beacon of migration and social organization was in significant part a response to the famous Gold Rush.

Paper Abstract: Evaluates archaeological evidence for cannibalism among Amer. Southwest people. Functions & significance of death-related rituals, research findings, methods & interpretations. Paper Introduction: Evidence for the practice of cannibalism by the Anasazi people of the American Southwest has been growing during the last three decades. As archaeologists have excavated new sites and re-examined findings from previously explored locations, the taphonomic and forensic analysis of human skeletal remains has led to a hypothesis of cannibalism at as many as 28 Anasazi sites. Though the first suggestion of cannibalism was made in 1902, the absence of any sign of such a practice in the ethnographic literature may have mitigated against thorough investigation of the notion. But with the systematic application of the methods of physical anthropology archaeologists have steadily produced a body of cases in which cannibalism seems the most likely explanation of anomalous states and dispositions of human remains.

Paper Abstract: Examines disastrous failure of law aimed at alloting land to & improving lives of Native Amer. Paper Introduction: The land allotment program of the Dawes Act was a total failure in terms of improving conditions for Native Americans. The Dawes Severalty Act, also called the General Allotment Act, was passed by the U.S. Congress in 1887. The Act stipulated that Native Americans give up their tribal lands in return for individual land grants. Sponsored by Senator Henry Laurens Dawes, the Dawes Act was intended to promote the integration of the Indians into the homesteading way of life. The main effect of the Dawes Act, however, was to open up Indian territory to white settlers. As a land-rich tribe, the Sioux Nation was particularly vulnerable to changes in federal government land policy. Consequently, the Sioux lost a significant portion of their tribal lands as a result of the Dawes Act. The Dawes Act of 1887 was the most important piece of Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Examines history of desert Indians' culture, impact of Spanish religious & political imperialism & late 20th Cent. efforts to revitalize Indian life. Paper Introduction: This examination of the Spanish treatment of the Arizona and Southwest Indian tribes will first consider those peoples and their relationships with each other. By first looking at the possible origin of the Southwestern U.S. Indian tribes, one can see who the Spaniards encountered in the late 1700s and thus know what effect the Spaniards would have on them. Additionally, one might understand what those tribes are doing about that effect today. Both Fr. Kino, the Catholic priest delegated by Spain to oversee the exploration of the Southwest, and Capt. Manje, the military officer overseeing the soldiers assigned to this operation, had their own reasons for writing the documents they left, so one can also see what they thought they were doing and compare that to what they actually did, see what legacy they Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Background, rationale for, devastating effects of 800-mile forced resettlement of Cherokees by govt. in 1838-1839. Paper Introduction: This paper is an examination of the Trail of Tears, an 800-mile journey that effectively destroyed the Cherokee Nation. The enforced resettlement occurred because white settlers coveted Cherokee lands and believed they had a superior claim. The nearly 4,000 deaths that resulted, perhaps as much as one-fourth of the entire population, stand as a remarkable, shameful illustration of inhumane treatment on a breathtaking scale. The Trail of Tears was a death march, a devastating chapter in the spectacularly successful campaign by European settlers to clear the New World not only of underbrush and other impediments to farming but also of the original inhabitants. Because they were members of an alien race, the Cherokee could not fit into the Europeans' plans, even when the Indians tried. They were doomed for annihilation simply because they were different and in the Read the Entire Essay.

The United States government has attempted alternatively to assimilate and terminate their nations. Despite these efforts, they have managed to maintain a tenacious, often perilous hold on their way of life (Campbell vii). Unfortunately, the education system in the United States has often been the means of disseminating policies and attitudes detrimental to American Indians (Campbell vii). Throughout the United States, Indian students have experienced disproportionate levels of school failure in educational systems organized, administered, and controlled by members of the dominant Anglo group (Cummins 3).

At one time, the Native American population was much larger than it is today and ruled the entire continent. The coming of Europeans also meant the beginning of a policy of extermination, a genocidal war against a people because they had a different worldview, a different religion, and were in possession of vast tracts of land whose resources the Europeans wanted to exploit. There was a fundamental difference between the way Europeans viewed the world and its relationship to the human community and the way Native Americans viewed these issues. Europeans believed God had given them dominion over nature, while Native Americans believed that humanity had links to the chain of being of living nature and were part of it instead of Read the Entire Essay.

Legal, historical, cultural, racial, military, spiritual & ethical aspects; leadership, motivations, conflicting accounts, Ghost Dance, cover-up. Paper Introduction: On a winter day at the end of December of 1890, U.S. Army troops confronted a band of Lakota Sioux near Wounded Knee, South Dakota. Abruptly, shooting broke out. By the time it ended, some 30 soldiers and as many as 300 Lakota were dead, a majority of the latter women and children. Such was the battle--or massacre--of Wounded Knee, the last significant episode of the nineteenth-century Indian Wars, and the last ghost of an effort by American Indians to assert their independence in a traditional context. For some years thereafter, several thousand Army troops--then a substantial fraction of the U.S. Army--remained stationed near Indian reservations to suppress any potential uprisings. Even in the opening years of the twentieth century, when the Army was called upon to garrison the Philippines in the aftermath of the Spanish- Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Introduction: The issue is whether a minority group can preserve its culture in a pluralistic society, and the answer depends on what degree of culture is being considered and what specific minority group is under discussion. The Native American population represents one of the most invisible of all American minority groups for most of the country, for much of the population has been relegated to reservations on land separated from the majority society to a great degree. On the reservation, the native population has been able to maintain certain traditions, but long before the current reservation system came into being, the onslaught of white society has been such that the Native American population was reduced in numbers, removed from its former lands, cut off from much of what constituted its culture, and morally and spiritually damaged as well.

Paper Abstract: History of whites' racist philosophy & destruction of Indians in U.S., taking of lands, Hopis & Navajos, Relocation Act of 1974. Paper Introduction: The American Indian's Struggle for Survival in Modern America Introduction In the first half of the nineteenth century, the American Anglo-Saxon ideology of Manifest Destiny laid the foundation for the government's right to territorial and economic expansion. The American republic was deemed a white Anglo-Saxon republic. Hence, white races would be readily absorbed into the nation, but nonwhite races would not be welcome. Using these arguments as a base, the government was able to justify the annexation of areas that were heavily populated with "inferior" races and the country shaped policies that reflected its belief that Indians were inferior and expendable (Horsman 226).

Paper Abstract: Review of & personal response to Ute Indian's struggle to find his place in white culture while preserving traditional cultural connections. Paper Introduction: When the Legends Die When the Legends Die (Borland, 1963) describes the struggle of Tom Black Bull, a Ute Indian born shortly before 1910, to find his place in the world. Because his father is a fugitive, Tom’s childhood is spent in the mountains of Colorado with only his parents, living as Indians had lived for generations, hunting and gathering, in harmony with the land and with animals. During his boyhood, Tom’s father and then his mother die, but Tom continues to live in the mountains with a bear cub he calls his brother. When Tom is eleven, Blue Elk, paid by the Indian agent, brings Tom to the reservation school where he and his bear cub are held captive. When Tom escapes, he discovers that Blue Elk has stolen his belongings and burned his lodge.

Paper Abstract: Ineffectiveness of reservation boarding schools & federal govt. policy, forced emigration, assimilation, civil rights, gambling industry; focusing on Cherokee Nation.

The Cherokee, recognized as a sovereign nation by the United States government, number about 175,000 full- and mixed-blood individuals, with the majority located in northeastern Oklahoma. The Oklahoma Cherokee successfully administer their own affairs. Programs such as Head Start, Job Corps, public housing, and substance abuse clinics have been supervised by the Cherokee Nation since the 1970s. In Cherokee-run schools, the basic curriculum is supplemented by instruction in tribal history, language, and culture. The Cherokee are attempting to obliterate the devastating effects of decades of federal government Indian education policy, which emphasized the assimilation of Native Americans into the dominant white culture.

Paper Abstract: Compares tribes' laws, norms, govts., marital status, property rights, case studies. Outline. Paper Introduction: This paper will examine the law of some of the Plains Indians and will use the laws of the Cheyenne and Comanche tribes as case studies. The case studies selected for this paper will illustrate the political and legal systems of the Cheyenne and Comanche tribes. This paper will also compare and contrast the similarities and differences between the legal systems of these two tribes. A review of several case histories of the Cheyenne and Comanche tribes reveals that, although the Cheyennes have a more sophisticated culture than the Comanches and the economic base of the two societies is similar, the Cheyenne culture reflects a higher level of institutionalization (Hoebel, 1969, p. 6). The most notable difference between the legal systems of the two societies is that the Comanches do not recognize their behavior Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Origins & history, society, spiritual traditions, leadership, resistence to whites & disintegration of Amer.-Indian tribe. Paper Introduction: THE SHAWNEE This research paper summarizes the history, traditions and culture of the central Appalachian Shawnee tribe of American Indians. Through a combination of circumstances, this itinerant but highly resilient tribe in the late 18th and early 19th centuries found itself directly in the path of the pressing wave of British/ American settlement of the Northwest Territory. The Shawnee assumed leadership of the defense of Indian society in the struggle that ensued under the leadership of their last great chief, Tecumseh, who was finally slain in battle in 1813. Because of their warrior traditions, competent leadership, spiritual elan and internal cohesion, the Shawnee gave a good account of themselves in this unequal struggle.

Paper Abstract: In context of tribe's culture. Origins, stories, linguistics. Paper Introduction: The Kiowa language is only one of many Native American languages in danger of disappearing simply because the young are not learning this aspect of their culture in any great numbers. This makes the language only one of the many language in the world that is in danger of becoming extinct either because of a reduction in the population, a stronger linguistic influence that is overpowering the old language, the failure of the young to learn the language, or some other force that makes the language less vital in a given culture. As a language like English grows in importance and in the number of speakers using it, a language such as that of the Kiowa slowly disappears unless an effort is made to record and preserve it, as scholars are doing with as many languages as they can. The Kiowa are a southern plains people who originated in the Read the Entire Essay. If this paper is not what you are looking for, you can search again: or We can write a Custom Essay for you. | ||

Paper Abstract: Describes Plains Indian tribes' histories, relations with U.S. govt., ceremonies, diseases, social organization, treatment of children, religion. Paper Introduction: The Crow Indians called themselves the Absaroka, which is Siouan for "bird people." Their name among whites became that of the well-known bird. Early in their history, they left the Hidatsas of the upper Missouri in what is now North Dakota because of a dispute over buffalo. Led by Chief No Vitals, the Crows then migrated farther upriver, to the Yellowstone River at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. This territory is presently in southern Montana and northern Wyoming. The Crows who settled north of the Yellowstone toward the Musselshell River became known as the Mountain Crow because of the high terrain. Those who lived to the south, along the valleys of the Big Horn, Powder, and Wind rivers, came to be called the River Crow. Both groups of Crows gave up the village life of their Hidatsa kinsmen. They stopped farming for food, growing only Read the Entire Essay. If this paper is not what you are looking for, you can search again: or We can write a Custom Essay for you. | ||

Paper Abstract: Effect of author's sympathetic point of view on the objectivity of her study of Amer.-Indian tribe. Paper Introduction: This study will examine the effect of the point of view of author Anastasia M. Shkilnyk on her analysis of the material in her book A Poison Stronger Than Love: The Destruction of An Ojibwa Community. The study will argue that Shkilnyk's point of view is entirely sympathetic with the beleaguered members of the tragic community she studies, but at the same time she strives to maintain an objective stance as a scholarly observer. Obviously, the compassion of the author marks the entire book, but there is no claim that is not supported by the evidence. What Shkilnyk manages to do is find a balance among competing points of view within herself. We see the author's humane concern in her Introduction, in which she declares her subject: "This book is about the origins of suffering in the life of these Indian people" (2). In fact, it Read the Entire Essay. If this paper is not what you are looking for, you can search again: or We can write a Custom Essay for you. | ||
