Inuit and Haida

Intro

Which are better Inuit or Haida? You will see this in this essay. I will also tell you about the challenges,recourses and universals of both tribes.

Challenges

The challenges of the Inuit and Haida were incredibly bad. The Inuit had trouble finding wood because they lived in the arctic where there is barely any trees. They would have to sew their kids arm holes on a jacket so they don’t get frostbite. The Haida however had different challenges. They could only get most of their food in a certain season. That season is called salmon season. They had to savor their food in a steam room where the fish cooks slowly or they would dig a hole put the fish in it and put salt in it and cover it up. These are the challenges

    Sivertz continues to downplay the devastating effects the Canadian government 's mismanagement had on the Inuit population that was relocated. When discussing how the Inuit people were forced to eat from the dumpster in order to survive, he instead focuses primarily on the issues of regulations surrounding the use of the dumpster, and how the constables in charge of the dumpster were very “gentle and effective”. He outright ignores the glaring issue that the Inuit, who were promised a better standard of living with plenty of food, were eating from a dumpster. Mr. Sivertz also disregards the complete lack of proper investigation and research conducted by the government prior to the relocation. First, Mr. Sivertz downplays how the government’s original “promise” to allow Inuit people to return was not properly conveyed to the Inuit people in Inukjuak by a translator who spoke broken Inuktitut.…

    The Great War brings together all Canadian citizens to fight for their country through co-operation and patriotism. Yet, although all citizens participate in the war effort both in battle and at the home front, it is indisputable that some groups are acknowledged less or not at all. History reasons that during a time of great discrimination, racism, and obvious disrespect, British, white men receive greater commemoration for their contributions. Thus for previous disregard, minorities such as Aboriginals, African Canadians and French Canadians finally receive gratitude. When historians look back today, one minority undoubtedly deserves the greatest recognition for their sacrifices to the country, in which recognition refers to the minority…

    Through the progression of this course, various aspects of history were viewed, in addition to concepts that are still associated to the lives of Aboriginal peoples today. While carrying some previous, biased knowledge on the topics discussed, First Nations Studies allowed the development of many ideas as well as the differing perspectives on each. Via the use of assorted reading selections, tutorial discussions, guest speakers, lectures, and a variety of other forms, I was able to take away a unique understanding, different to the one I had prior, which in turn educated me on Indigenous communities. This course attempted to bypass the anger that has been accumulated over the years, and portray information in order to avoid further issues…
