Opinions in Place of Conclusions:
These are unsupported assertions which Gibbon (2014) suggests are opinions. Therefore, the following are opinions asserted in place of conclusions:
¬ Ramsden (2016:6) suggests that his interpretations of the group of 7 houses outside the Kirche site that were never enclosed represents a group of people that moved from outside the area looking to join the Kirche village. o This is Ramsden’s conclusion regarding the houses found outside the Kirche community, there is no evidence for this rather it is Ramden’s opinion about the houses located outside the community indicate.
¬ At the Benson site the use of the barred neck motif is part of the process of blending the St. Lawrence Iroquoians and Huron-Wendat styles (Ramsden 2016:12). o Ramsden (2016)

Yes, there are a conclusion that I noticed in Ramsden (2009) article which serves as premise for another argument:
¬ [C] St. Lawrence Iroquoian immigrants brought with them European trade links which made House 10 a special and significant household at the Benson site [P] since only House 10 contains all three classes of artifacts such as European metal, St. Lawrence Iroquoian pottery and pipes (Ramsden 2009:306).
¬ [C] House 10 was considered a ‘progressive’ household [P] because St. Lawrence Iroquoian immigrants brought with them European trade links which made House 10 a special and significant household at the Benson site (Ramsden 2009:306). o Therefore, “St. Lawrence Iroquoian immigrants brought with them European trade links which made House 10 a special and significant household at the Benson site” serves both as a premise and a conclusion for two

    “On one side were those Crees who advocated accommodation with the Quebec government’s vision of modernity, and with it more complete integration in the formal economy, with hope for the future based on jobs, money, and economic growth, and most important, a willingness to accept as the cost of bringing this future into being the environmental impacts of extractive industries, notably new hydroelectric installations on major rivers (Niezen pg. 107)”. On the other side of the Cree, stood those who believed in the ancestry’s way of life: living off the land’s resources. There became a clear separation between the Cree, a struggle I am sure has been detrimental to who they are as a people. The changes in lifestyle will cause a permanent separation of Cree…

    The importance of the Algonquian native american tribe in the Eastern Great Lakes Region is essential in understanding the region’s political reasoning, this can be understood in the article The Significance of Algonquian Kinship Networks in the Eastern Great Lakes Region, 1600-1701 by Heidi Bohaker, a professor who resides at University of Toronto . The purpose of this comes from an event that occurred in the summer of 1701, author states “the twelve hundred French residents of Montreal played host to some thirteen hundred Native American visitors…” (Bohaker,pg.23) The reasoning behind this was to create a peace treaty, to end conflict with the Iroquois Confederacy. This event is important to remember because the Algonquins were one of many North American native tribes to have the French as allies.…

    Throughout the course so far, I have been able to gain a greater understanding of the First Nations peoples culture. As the course progresses it is noticed that as we keep going further into the past of the First nation's people, it keeps building on itself, due to the fact that there has been so much history covered up. Through the pieces of the literature studied in class, such as the novel Indian Horse by Richard Wagamese and the poem seven matches by Gord Downie and Jeff Lemire, I have been able to determine how the four major themes within the course, identity, sovereignty, relationships, and challenges are a part of the First Nations culture's past. The First Nations people are struggling with these themes, but are in a pace now where they are working to fix their broken past.…

    Interpretation of Kent Monkman’s Shame and Prejudice: A Story of Resilience Monkman’s exhibit is a demonstration of the narrative of relations between the Canadian government and Indigenous peoples, implying much of what he is trying to convey with the title of the collection. Each piece is interconnected and has some relevance to the story of Indigenous culture and its survival of the state’s attempts to assimilate or destroy the history and ways of life of the many Indigenous groups within what is now considered Canadian borders. The discourse that surrounds this narrative is one which has begun to bubble up more in popular Canadian culture; the rejection of Canada 150 and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission are both examples of how many…
