Howling Wolf’s Treaty Signing at Medicine Creek Lodge After viewing both of the drawings, I actually thought that Taylor’s drawing was the honest one, but after reading the chapter and viewing the presentation, I now have a better understanding of why Wolf’s drawing is the more honest one. Being that Wolf is a Native American, his drawing focuses more on the Western cultural and tradition, such as decorating the tipis and the women’s garments. He shows the women as being the dominant ones by drawing more of them with their backs to the viewers as they focus on the signing ceremony of the treaty. His painting he also depicts the tradition of the women’s braided hair showing their part painted red as a way for the Plains warriors to show
Stagecoach (1939) Following the nine characters’ journey to Lordsburg reminded me a lot of the game “Oregon Trail”. I found a lot of similarities between the game and their journey, like the birth of Mrs. Mallory’s son, rest-stops to refresh their needs, and the scene that made me draw the comparison between the game and the film was when they crossed the river with the horses and the stagecoach. I remember every Oregon Trail journey the players must cross a river exactly like how the stagecoach did in the movie. The reading of “The Western as Combat Genre” explains a western genre cultural myth of “courageous warriors fighting noble battles” and I found that the scene where the men of the stagecoach fighting the Geronimo and the Apaches depicted this point very well. The men were very brave during that battle.
The horns made utensils and tools and the tails used for whips and ties. (Plains Tribes) These tribes, as well as most Native American Indians, believed in many spirits (gods). These spirit gods represented mother earth, the moon, stars, the sun, the For many, a dream is just a dream. It has no hidden meaning or message.

Each ghostly reflection in the clear waters of the lakes tells of events and memories in the life of my people. The water’s murmur is the voice of my father’s father,“ spoke the powerful tribe leader. His passion is expressed towards the developers of a construction plan for the European immigrants of the time. He’s feared the day when people of an unfamiliar race would come to take over his reservation, and now that day has come. The imagery, personification, and symbolism in his writing is shown to let the reader feel the power of emotion underneath his words, feel the way he felt, make them think differently than they did before, and to simply be moved.
Indigenous Cultures After viewing the video clipping I’ve concluded that Wade Davis is a National Geographic advocate and explorer of the indigenous cultures that continue to exists in this world today and how we are losing rare and valuable elements of our global heritage. . In his speech, I found the message to be one of comparison and explanation of the many cultures with different practices. He touched bases on several of the cultures that he has studied all over the word, covering a wide variety of topics and people. He reminded us that foreign lands are not always foreign; but instead, somebody's home and they share the same basic desires as the rest of the world, specifically talking about the different ways some of the tribes live in their native countries.
Brandon Nitschmann Essay In most Native American literature the land on which they live, their families and their traditions are all big parts in these stories. Such as in Way to Rainy Mountain and Smoke Signals, all three of those are incorporated heavily in the story line. The Native American people were very spiritual and family oriented and concentrated on the bonds and traditions that held their families together. They believed that almost everything on Earth was symbolic of something, the soil on which they lived upon, the crops that were grown, the animals hunted for food, they are all connected. So in the Native American culture there are three main aspects; their land, their families, and their traditions.
It describes the place of origin and the journey Scott's ancestry traveled. In the essay when it depicts the standing of the "last great moment in history," I believe it backups the importance of Scott's heritage and why it was so special to him because his grandmother was the last generation to feel what his ancestors felt and lived. I to remember growing up and my grandfather feeding me stories of my ancestry. When I was younger, I would constantly dream up what it may have been like if I had lived on a reservation, or what it would be like to sit in the sweat
Burger (n.d.), “The term Machu that precedes Picchu means old and was used by locals to differentiate it from the small hill behind it called Huayna Picchu, which means young” (p. 5) Machu Picchu was home for royal blood, servants, farmers, and care givers when not many people were around in the winter. The Inca’s believed that they are deities. Their believe was that Wiracocha the creator and Inti the sun God told them to conquer the people from every corner of the world. On Machu Picchu there is a sacred place on the mountain where they pray to the Sun god. They call this place “Intihuatana stone.” The people believed the stones pointed directly at the sun this during the winter season, and this is why there is no shadow that is cast on any stone in this sacred place.
This narrative concerns growing up away from one’s father in one of the Indian cultures of the Pacific Northwest. It’s also an intimate view of a nonnuclear family; the author is interested in the family not as a static set of defined relationships but as a social network that adapts to the ever changing circumstances and needs of its members.

In addition to celebrations and dance, it was believed that the thin veil between the physical world and the other world provided extra energy for communications between the living and the dead. With these communications, Druid Priests and Celtic Shamans would attempt to tell the fortunes of individual people through a variety of methods. For people entirely dependent on the volatile natural world, these prophecies were an important source of the comfort and direction during the long dark winter. The Romans began to conquer the Celtic territories. By A.D. 43 they succeeded in claiming the majority of the Celtic lands (“Halloween”).
