Sherman Alexie’s main idea in the article is how Alexie defies stereotypes by being a prosperous, reservation born, Indian. Instead of being weak and falling into peer pressure by acting ‘stupid’ in school, Alexie defies the standard by reading high grade level books and even spending recess studying.…

    In the articles, the authors highlight important notions such as “sovereignty,” “recognition,” “separateness,” “domestic dependent nations,” “dominate the physical space,” “reform the minds,” and “absorb the economic”. The authors argue that the legal and juridical sovereignty of American Indian provides them with the right to maintain and protect their traditional distinct political and cultural communities. In this pretext, to deal with the growing environmental problems at an alarming level, the tribal governments have inherent and statutory right to set their own environmental standards to meet the emerging environmental challenges. These challenges are serious threats to their socio-cultural, economic, politicolegal, spatial, and temporal…

    Native American reservations during the 19th and 20th centuries were mired in deep poverty. The economic conditions of the reservations left many Indian tribes wholly dependent on the federal government for survival. The reservations were more like wards of the state than semi-independent nations. The structure of the constitution does not adequately address how the needs of Native Americans should be met. Reservations are not considered a part of the states they reside in therefor the states have no obligation to provide education for them.…

    Another issue that the Native Indians face is lack of education. They aren’t informed of many issues, causing them to face problems in the future. For example, employment if they have no education level whatsoever they won’t know how to make a living are actually, live. The reservations lack school supply support, noting that the government supplies our local schools and maybe they should do that to some reservations because of the fact they are so limited. They also lack sufficient staff and if a teacher was there to teach, who would know how long it would be before they…

    Native Americans seem to have been forgotten by this country. America has stripped Native Americans from their means of life. Since 1607 when colonists decided they wanted to take the land from Native Americans, they have stripped them of their identity. Colonists came to America and maliciously took over. Once the colonists claimed the land as their own, they have changed the way of living which was against the Native Americans beliefs.…

Actually ‘Indigenous' is an identity given by the colonial authorities and their attitudes towards the local communities, clans, tribes and nations as because these ethnic people maintain some aesthetic, cultural values that linked with that given region (Sanders, 1999; Coates, 2004). In ‘Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention, 1989', (No. 169), mainly known as ILO Convention 169, International Labor Organization(ILO) has given the perfect definition based on the social, cultural and demographic aspect of an indigenous community. It defines aboriginal community as "tribal peoples in independent countries whose social, cultural and economic conditions distinguish them from other sections of the national community and whose status is regulated wholly or partially by their own customs or traditions or by special laws or regulations" (Swepston, 1990, UN, n.d.). Indigenous communities have faced various types of oppression over the years by the colonial states which caused the communities to leave their histories, traditional lifestyle, land use, professions and so on (Mathie and Cunnigham, 2005; Hamstead, 2005; Smith and Seyfang, 2007).…
