And “the temperature was somewhat lower, and it did not seem to be important in the minds of the Inuit people anyway.” Clearly, Mr. Sivertz has no understanding of the differentiation between different indigenous groups, including Inuit natives. He also generally assumes that anything considered the geographic “north” (which is thousands of square kilometers) is the same in resources and climate, and therefore wrongly presumes that the Inuit should have had no problem adapting to it. This is…

Henitiuk begins by stating how translation from a minor language into a major language showcases the inherently unequal relationship between the…

Indigenous groups are part of the of the diversity of our nation.…
The European settlers of North America irreversibly changed the way Native Americans lived. These settlers brought different ideologies, convictions, religion and diseases, to the Indigenous peoples. There were frequent clashes between the settlers and the Natives over land rights and usage, religious and cultural differences, and, especially, broken treaties (Calloway 3). Some tribes embraced the new ideas and began to incorporate them into their own culture, while other tribes rejected them entirely (Calloway 4). It is not possible to understand the history of the United States without acknowledging the “very long history, cultural diversity, and enduring presence of America’s indigenous peoples (Calloway iii).…
