    Native Americans have had an estimated 1.5 billion acres of land taken from them by the United States (The Invasion of America). Nearly every tribe’s land has been greatly reduced by white settlers, whether by forceful removal or sneaky laws and enactments. Losing so much land can be devastating to a nation. The location of a nation can determine the natural resources that can be used, the size and population, and the territorial jurisdiction. Land not only provides economic opportunity, but is also a “hallmark of identity”, a “barometer of community integrity”, and “a repository for […] the remains of ancestors and their artifacts, the cornerstones of worldviews, and moral lessons from the past” (d).…

    The indigenous cultures that resided in the Pacific Northwest lost things that even now remain outside of the understanding of the colonists that took over their lands and reshaped them in ways that leave them unrecognizable as the places that were here before. The far reaching impact these changes had on the landscape and ecology of the Pacific Northwest resulted in loss of lifestyle and tradition in addition to the loss of place. The sudden and unexpected remodeling of the landscape caused the lands that settler treaties distinguished as reservations to lose any value they may have had prior to the treaty. Nothing prevented new settlers from redirecting the rivers that fed the reservations or dumping waste on tribal lands in an effort to…

    Another contrast is that though both houses have open and fluid spaces on the interior, the Eames house is more of a traditional space, it still has defined living spaces and walls, creating separation between the living spaces and the outside. As well, due to the Eames house being built into the side of a hill, it only has one side open to the site. This is unlike the Farnsworth house, which is more of a modern space, and due to being constructed in the middle of a clear opening in the trees, it has clear and open views to all of it’s surrounding landscape.
