I think that Franklin and Paine both show very different temperaments in their essays. I prefer Franklin’s discussion about the Native Americans over Paine’s because he doesn’t discriminate them; rather he brings out a lot of positive aspects about the Indians. While I was reading the essay, I asked myself, ‘who is he pertaining to as the savages? The white men or the Native Americans?’ because he never described the Indians as savages, except to only simply point out that their cultures are different. It seemed to me that Franklin had a lot of respect and admiration towards the Native American Indians by the amount he quoted them.
Crystal Batayeh Jarenski Comm. 306 16 October 2013 Coming to America: The Real Story Living in America is a dream to many, and sometimes it is made into a reality. Immigrants on the daily enter our country in hopes of a better life and the independence and freedom our country holds. Our country has often been called the melting pot (more recently the salad bowl) because of all the culture we previously and currently still embody. People across the world come here in hopes of the “American Dream” and for some, it does happen, but at what cost?
For the purposes of this assignment I am going to assume the source is authentic and from Red Cloud since the link provided is from a college university. I think the speech was a deliberate process that was well thought out, truthful, and was excellent at explaining the situation that was going on. This makes the speech reliable in my opinion because I (we) already have knowledge of how the other Indian tribes were mistreated and lied to by our government and the military. The government took their land and forced them to small reservations territory by territory across the country. Based on known history and how others were handled I don’t feel like Red Cloud was biased in his speech since both sides of the story line up with each other.
The tribes agreed to the treaty for strategic reason. They wanted to appease the government in the hope of retaining some of their land and wanted to protect themselves white harassment. Removal would save Indian people from the depredation of whites, and would resettle them in area where they could govern themselves. Andrew Jackson believed that everyone would be happier if the Indians were by force and if it was necessary on the on the western side to Mississippi River. He had a rough relationship with the Natives Americans.
Primitive people had conceptions of phenomena with whom they lived daily that could qualify today, after centuries of scientific advance of magical realism. Nevertheless, in some cases, its charm has not diminished, and in others, the knowledge of their ideas and practices continues to be an incentive for curiosity. In many primitive peoples believed possible to choose the sex of the baby through the intervention of rites. Thus the Cuna Indians, American tribe, were accustomed to go to inatuledi, a shaman lower. When I was a child desired, the shaman was in charge of fetching flowers that look similar to the female genitalia, which would be used for an infusion that pregnant women should take.
Innocent Cherokees The Cherokees had a set way of living to function as a tribe, but there were many different obstacles that made it difficult for them to maintain their lifestyle. There was a major influence from the Anglo-Americans that impacted the lives of the Cherokees both negatively and positively. Their main focus was to civilize the Cherokees and help them adapt to American society. At one point, the Cherokee Indians and the British were actually allies during the Revolutionary War, allowing them to be at peace with one another. However, although there was a peaceful negotiation between the two, there were certain people that disliked the Cherokees and did not have the same optimistic opinion about them.

Race and Ethnicity Shari L Kraus ETH/125 March 13, 2012 Vanessa Lee Introduction I have always considered race and ethnicity to be interchangeable, but they are not. Race has more to do with physical and biological characteristics while ethnicity has to do with a person’s origins and values. The subject of race and ethnicity is interesting to me because I do date outside of my race and I have been made extremely aware of some very unkind attitudes. Besides explaining the difference between race and ethnicity, this paper will also show a little bit of why the concepts of race and ethnicity are so important to United States society. Race is defined as a class of people based on physical or biological characteristics, such as skin color, facial features, bone structure, or hair and eye color.
Tribal culture and education was a large part of my upbringing so I would have to say that I most closely identify with the Native American Indian culture. At present, I really do not partake in many social circles per say. In order to list something here, I would have to reference back to my years in the military. As for the commonalities that we shared as a “social circle”, shared more or less the same goals and ideas. Even though we each may have had different jobs to do, obtained different skill sets and ranks, and each came from very diverse backgrounds, most of us considered each other as a family.
Art Of The Americas By Juan Del Moral April 21, 2009 Art History Survey 1 Chris Wilson The arts is said to be a multiple of creations however for the South American region art was something unique to each tribe, having their individual style of what their gods should look in their eyes, while secretly having similairties to those around them.Bringing me to a theory that historical pieces of art to the tribes were a big competition for their were many cultures that have overpassed the previous step of the tribe behind them giving the idea that although their epic time were different between all the tribes their gods and deities are still the same in every tribe. Giving the flow of perfection of the South americans as time passes.As each tribe
