From these two videos, I have a better understand of American Indian history overview. Especially from video Pride 101, Dr. Duane Champagne mentions the removal policy of Native Indians, and because of the policy, the tribes have to move from Southeast to Oklahoma. These two videos show audiences a long history and policy about American Indians and how struggled they had been through in a native land. After I finished from these two videos, I can see many parallels between the struggles the Native American Tribes and my people encounter dealing with the U.S. Government “You can never be part of Indian. You are or you are not.
The first non-reservation Native American boarding school was opened on November 1, 1878 by Richard Pratt in Carlisle, Pennsylvania (Fuchs & Havighurst, 1972). Pratt retired from the United States Army in 1903 as a colonel, having participated in many of the conflicts compromising the American Indian Wars. Prior to opening the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, Pratt experimented with Native American prisoners from the Red River War (Pratt, 2001). His belief that Native Americans needed to be taught to reject their cultural values and way of life to adapt to a ‘white American’ or western lifestyle is best outlined by his statement, “A great general has said that the only good Indian is a dead one. In a sense, I agree with the sentiment, but only in this: that all the Indian there is in the race should be dead.
And they also have a long history for their struggles with the new settlers. In this research I will focus on the Native Americans of the western part of the United States and their history, especially the time of the removal, around the nineteenth century. I will divide my research into two main parts. In the first part I will talk about every part of the western Native Americans’ locations, their geography and an overview of the changes that were brought into them after the European colonization. In my second part I will focus of the time of their history of their removal to the Indian territories and reservations, which we are currently studying in class.
Shawn Frost Topic 2: Early Clash of Cultures HIST 321/ Prof. Le Vine Topic 2 brought us to the early clashes of cultures that took place. We will look at how the interactions with different people can change a whole culture and society. We begin by looking at the contact Indians and Invaders experienced and what came from those interactions. James Axtell discusses how large of an influence the Indians were in “Colonial America without the Indians”.
Finally the re-scripting of events through diaries and other literature that describe Indian “occupation” rather than possession or nativity, or the “first” wedding in a New English colony to manufacture a status quo where the New English become native New Englanders, and where Indians become intruders in settlements rather than the land’s native inhabitants. In other words, narrative frameworks are a tool of erasure of Indian culture and society in the early history of New England. New English settlers used racial and cultural differences to drive a wedge between themselves and the “other” inhabitants of the
In this case, we can compare and tell why these past historical events are important to the Indians when we don’t really have what they have had in their culture. The first point we come to be the way these Indians are named in the book. Larry decides to use a lot of his imagination by creating names of his
The first greatest enemies of Native Americans during this same time our own Government. The earliest film stereotyping the Native Americans by Thomas Edison (1894) a movie titled “Ghost Dance,” one movie in a series of short films in Kinectoscopes about the Pueblo People. The poorly done editing depicted a demeaning, negative stereotyping of the Indian Nations. This opened up how the film industry would traditionally portray the Native Americans for many years. “Last of the Mohicans” by James Fenmore Cooper in the 1920 film version, depicted two brothers, Hawkeye, white being raised by the Mohicans.
Sean Gillis Professor Montagne ENC 1102.055 9 February 2012 Kurt Vonnegut Jr’s “Harrison Bergeron” tells the story of a stark dystopia in which the Bergeron’s live in. This story, much like George Orwell’s “1984”, creates terrible and unimaginable contrasts to the world we live in today. The world Vonnegut creates shows how the world would be if every man, woman and child was equal via the implementation of “handicaps”. Vonnegut explains, “The year was 2081, and everyone was finally equal. .
Throughout all of the short stories contained in Jhumpa Lahiri’s book Interpreter of Maladies there is a common theme of alienation. Many of the characters in her stories are first and second generation immigrants to a new nation and life style in America. We see a clash of cultures as the east meets the west in “Mrs. Sen’s” also in “When Mr. Pirzada Came to Dine.” There are many reasons why a person would leave there home country to start a new life in America, maybe to seek refuge in a country without war right around the corner of your house, or possibly to better yourself and seek an education that could be brought back to your home country. Mr. Pirzada is one of those many souls that leave what they know to start over new in a strange land.
