Since the arrival of the European settlers, there has been much discussion about the sovereignty of the Native Americans who have lived on this land for thousands of years. For the Indians, the prevailing notion has always been that they are sovereign nations, capable of deciding their destinies, and in fact, the United States government has agreed with them in treaties. In his essay “International Law and Politics,” Glenn Morris notes that a former attorney general of the United States, William Wirt (Attorney General in 1828), once said of Indian Nations: “[…] Like all other independent nations, they have the absolute power of war and peace. Like all other independent nations, their territories are inviolable by any other sovereignty…As a nation, they are still free and independent. They are entirely self-governed, self-directed.

Through these moves, many tribe members returned to previous homes.
Khufu’s pyramid faces north entirely followed by the other two. This pyramid is most famous of the three for many reasons. Standing at its original size of “482 feet high on a plan that’s 760 feet square” (Trachtenberg and Hyman 65) the structure has extremely detailed internal arrangements consisting of three different chambers. My research will mainly focus on the internal arrangements of the pyramid. Archeological evidence shows that the bottom chamber was abandoned, while the second was named the queens chamber.
The Blackfeet Indians were Algonquian-speaking tribe of the Northern Great Plains. The Blackfeet migrated to their homeland from the east, after having separated from other Algonquians. The Blackfoot Confederacy was once so powerful that they controlled a huge expanse of the Northwestern high plains, from the North Saskatchewan River in what is now Alberta all the way to the upper Missouri river in Montana, flanked on the West by the Rocky Mountains. “Members of the Blackfoot Confederacy included three sub-tribes or bands, the Blackfoot proper (or Siksika, meaning “those with black eyed moccasins” in Algonquian), the blood (or Kainah, meaning “blood,” so named because they painted their bodies with red clay), and the Piegan (or Pigunni, meaning “poorly dressed”), plus the Gros Ventre and Sarcee” (Waldman34).

Nunavut means 'our land' in Inuktitut, the language of the Inuit. Its inhabitants are called Nunavummiut, but are more commonly known as Inuit.

In Canada, the first large body of uniformed men appeared in 1665 with the CARIGNAN-SALIÈRES REGIMENT dressed in brown coats lined with white and grey, black hats and buff and black ribbons.

From 1716, the buttons were brass, the vest, breeches and stockings were blue, and a gold-laced tricorn was worn.
