    Native Americans have endured disease, colonization, and relocation from their homes.

However, to claim that their culture was buried with their ancestors is a rather ignorant accusation. In other words, it was transformed to fit the view of modern society, but remaining in touch with their roots. To better understand this transformation, I have focused to analyze a painting by Oscar Howe (Native American) titled Rider which creates a unique blend of Native American and Western design.…

During the time that this act was done the Spaniards were taking land from the other classes and taking other things as well. To the creoles it didn’t make sense that the spaniards were taking land in Mexico when they can just get their own land in Spain. The main reason for this document was to try and “… recover lands stolen three hundred years ago… “ and “… defend [their] religion and [their] rights as true patriots.…

    The Telenovela, ‘’La Reina del Sur’’ presents the viewer with an unfamiliar thematic concept in any circumstance but even more so under the regular prejudices of Latin American television. The Telenovela attempts to address an area of narco history which has been previously banished to cultural myth, with the use of over dramatization and typical Latin flair which differs greatly to the journalistic writing style of Arturo Perez Reverte. The understanding of previous gender expectations helps contextualise the overriding theme at play within ‘’La Reina del Sur’’, as when searching for the history of ‘’Las bandidas’’ little information can be found, the suppression of this information can only be determined as an attempt to uphold the blanket…

    The courante (“running” or “flowing”) was a French dance whose choreography included bending the knee on the upbeat or offbeat and rising on the beat, often followed by a step or glide. The music is in moderate triple or compound meter and always begins with an upbeat. In many courantes, including the two in this suite, the meter shifts back and forth between 3/2 and 6/4, sometimes with different voices simultaneously implying different meters. Although the composer included two courantes in this suite, only the first is performed on the accompanying recording. A reminder that the performer had the discretion to omit dances if he or she so desired.…
