    Imagine one, dwindling culture that has a 152% higher chance at winning the lottery compared to another population. Except the reward they win is not wealth, it is the rate of injury. For the Native American people, this statistic is true when juxtaposed to other Americans (Demographics). Similar to this, many unbalanced problems where Native Americans are on the inferior side of the scale compared to Americans with an alarmingly superior side, have appeared in native culture. The roots of these issues can be found starting in 1860, when the United States government established American Indian boarding schools to help bring education to the “lacking” Indians.…

    My trip to the Barnes Foundation museum was enjoyable and informative. On my trip, as we moved through the galleria I was astounded by how the rooms in the galleria were arranged. It was not like your average museum, with one or two paintings on the walls with a description of it underneath. Instead, there were rooms with paints all over the walls, along with iron work that correlated with the pieces. Our tour guide elaborated on how he did not wish for there to be a description under the pieces of art stating their background.…

    General racism, environmental devastation, and poverty on Indian reservations makes it burdensome for many Native people to live according to their traditions. As many are simply trying to survive daily life, they do not have the energy, money, or time to be taught and teach their indigenous languages and cultures. For some Native peoples, their very survival is dependent on preserving their language and particular ways of life. While it does seem that some languages and cultures are in danger of being exclusive to history, it is a surprising fact to many that many Native groups have a very diverse original language and many cultural customs. With the supremacy of European-American cultural and economic identities, it is astounding to see the perseverance of these sustained livelihoods adapt and remain feasible in the middle of constantly-changing social change.…

    What are some of the theories about how native people populated or first came to the North American continent? Explain some of the evidence that has been used to prove some of these theories. There are many theories about who the native people are and where they came from. Some European theories include saying that American Indians were one of the lost tribes of Israel, that they were descendants of a Welsh prince, or that they descended from early villagers of Polynesia, Phoenicia, the Middle East, or Japan. One theory about how native people populated the North American continent is that they came by sea, moving back the time when they may have migrated.…

    Native American and European Traditions The English people who first immigrated to America slaughtered the Native Americans to near extinction because they thought the Indians were savages, but just how different, or similar, were the two groups. Both the Indians and Europeans had their own versions of a creation story, and they each had a sort of government that included a constitution. Between the two groups there are distinct comparisons and contrasts within the creation stories of the Indians, “The Sky Tree”, and “How the World was Made”, and the creation story of the bible in the book of “Genesis” as well as comparisons and contrasts between the two civic documents, The Iroquois Constitution, and The articles of the constitution of the…

    What do you make of the irony that women were often treated quite well in Indigenous traditions and yet, today, Native American women are the group of women that experience the highest incidence of domestic violence? My reaction: It upsets me to think about the violence that women are experiencing throughout all cultures. For Native American women to be experiencing the highest domestic violence I feel at fault. If it weren 't for colonization and the “whites” invading the Native American territory the concept of women being less than men would never have been introduced to the Native American culture.…

    They saw the labels of scars from drinking and fighting as well as ritual items that are currently being used on the La Jolla Reservation. The mixture of items brought to attention the living and still developing culture that Native Americans practice every day. This challenges societal views on how culture is taught and viewed. Museum artifacts are viewed as simply up to chance and technology that they have survived. And in some cases, society will pick which articles to preserve and destroy the others altering what we learn and how we perceive cultures.…

    Before this course I have taken other anthropology courses which taught me that they have lived here for a long time. I have always been interested most in Native American history and have had a good grasp on the timeline of their "arrival". I assumed that their arrival in Michigan would be a little bit later than their initial arrival in North America. I figured so because the journey over would take a little bit before moving on from exploring the northern west coast areas. Something that I found extremely surprising was the age that people get married in a Hunter-Gatherer lifestyle.…

    I have always imagined that there was more to the culture and history of Native Americans than just what I was taught in school; for that reason, In the Hands of the Great Spirit by Jake Page attracted me. Although I realized that a book about the twenty thousand year history of Native Americans would be like reading a textbook, which is not something I do during my free time, I considered the fact that I would actually learn more about a topic that is not “properly” taught in school. One of the biggest topics that I explored in this book was Native American culture; this is an aspect that I had never been taught anywhere else, but that Jake Page really illuminates with myths and pictures placed throughout the book. In addition to that, I…
