An Indigenous Tribeman Named Ishi: Film Analysis

Decent Essays
Only a few days ago in Cultural Anthropology class, my classmates and I watched and informative video about an indigenous tribesman named Ishi. We learned about the persecution of his people, the endless pain he faced throughout his life, and the hardships he faced trying to reintegrate himself into “modern society”. From watching his life from his first public occurrence to his untimely death, I feel that I learned so much more about Native Americans that I probably would never have learned about had I not watched this video. When we first started up the projector and the title flashed on the screen, I immediately knew that this film had something very interesting to offer. However contrary to my prediction, this film had something even

    In today’s society Indians are not recognized or given enough respect towards them and their culture and lifestyle. However, this is nothing new, it has been going on ever since Christopher Columbus stepped foot in America. In the film industries, Native Americans have mostly always been depicted in negative ways. However, there have been movies that have tried to portray the reality of Native American lifestyle and culture in America.

    Native ways of keeping culture alive must be revitalized, as colonization was detrimental but did not destroy everything. Indigenous relationships with the peopled universe emphasize environmental values and a way of being that holds strong to cultural values. Colonizers desperately tried to erase this deeply rooted culture, but it is hard to erase a link so completely tied to the land. Deeply embedded in each native person’s pedagogy is history, collective trauma, the reverberating effects of genocide and colonization, and yet Native peoples are resilient, proving strength time and time again.…

    Native American people have seen their bloodshed, they have undergone oppression and discrimination, they have been underestimated and misunderstood by the dominant population they have been through conflict, diseases and policies of discrimination. Nevertheless, this has only made Native American people more resilient, spiritual, and proud of their culture but these traumas that took place many generations ago continue to impact the lives of Native Americans; this concept is referred to as historical trauma. Historical trauma or intergenerational trauma has been proven to affect offsprings, not only psychologically, environmentally, or by social means but also biologically. Epigenetics is described as things that are passed on other than…

    Native Americans Imagine aliens from another planet landing on earth. Imagine if the people of the land accepted them and taught them how to survive on earth, only for the aliens to take away the land. In “Native Americans: Contact and Conflict,” Native Americans wrote down their experiences, letting the reader get a different perspective on events and occurrences that the reader would not get from reading white colonist papers. The writings provide the viewer with understanding and knowledge of Indian beliefs, culture, and feelings towards the white immigrants. At the beginning Indians welcomed the English with hospitality.…

    Native American characters and themes were popular inclusions in films throughout the 20th century; there were films that to a degree romanticized Native American culture and there were films that made a mockery of Natives. Important was that these films were very popular, as a result they were largely responsible for establishing the public’s concept of the Native American and of their culture, even for some young Natives. In a way, they were taking the culture of the Native American people again by defining it for the world; in inaccuracy there was a tragedy, in that they were misrepresenting a culture that they had earlier helped to…

    Inarguably the most important text written for the United States of the America is the Declaration of Independence. Signed in 1776, the Declarations boasts “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” While on paper it looks like everyone will be treated equal in the land of the free, it was not the case. The history of the United States of America teems with bravery and sacrifice, as well as, discrimination, wrong doings, and cruelty. Slavery is the most well known example.…

    My cousin Becca is half Cherokee Indian. She and I are very close and spent an incredible amount of time together as kids. Being the best friend and the cousin of an Indian prevented me from forming prejudice against that group of people, as prejudice is created from observing the prejudice of others around you. That being said, I was still never taught more than the average kid about who Indians actually are and what roles they play in society. I discovered through the reading of Everything You Wanted to Know About Indians But Were Afraid to Ask that Indians are way more than our textbooks make them out to be.…

    In one of the rooms they depicted the history of Native Americans beginning when the Spanish Conquistadors landed, through the colonization of America, through the Statehood of New Mexico and to present day. I spent the majority of my time in this room and took several notes on the different Acts passed by Congress that either oppressed the Natives or tried reconciling them from centuries worth of neglect. Some of the Acts passed were the Indian Citizenships Act of 1924, the Pueblo Land Act of 1924, and the Indian Civil Right Act of 1968. These acts helped show me that, though the Government oppressed the Indians, they have taken steps to compensate them and integrate them as part of the United States culture. I my opinion these don’t do full justice for all the oppression but at least the Government has recognized their mistake and have taken positive steps to accept the Native’s culture.…

    I have always imagined that there was more to the culture and history of Native Americans than just what I was taught in school; for that reason, In the Hands of the Great Spirit by Jake Page attracted me. Although I realized that a book about the twenty thousand year history of Native Americans would be like reading a textbook, which is not something I do during my free time, I considered the fact that I would actually learn more about a topic that is not “properly” taught in school. One of the biggest topics that I explored in this book was Native American culture; this is an aspect that I had never been taught anywhere else, but that Jake Page really illuminates with myths and pictures placed throughout the book. In addition to that, I…

    Many natives were born in a culture that discouraged traditional customs and traditions in favor of the white European way of life (Fleming 55). When a culture is no longer accepted by those around them, it dies out or is forgotten by most. It is imperative that Native Americans are encouraged to remember what has been forgotten over the years to bring pride back to their…

    For Native Americans and First Nations members, being forgotten or disposed of in the name of progress is not unprecedented. A history of genocide, oppression, and homogenization by white people cannot be ignored when discussing the way these societies changed, nor can it be ignored when analyzing the way the aboriginal people of North America have been assessed within academic circles. Too often the basic knowledge established to build a foundation for continued learning is established by non-Native, typically white persons. These individuals create texts and terminology that Native Americans and First Nations people have not only criticized but outright denounced. The voices of these people, which should be those listened to the most, end…
