The Birch tree really does impact the way the Algonquin live. Lastly, the temperature of the region also impacted the way this tribe lives. The region was also…
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…
William Cronon’s Changes in the Land: Indians, Colonists, and the Ecology of New England mainly talks about how the arrival of the Europeans made dramatically changes to the new world with their arrival. In his thesis Cronon expresses the main effects of this changes, "the shift from Indian to European dominance in New England entailed important changes well known to historians in the ways these peoples organized their lives, but it also involved fundamental reorganizations less well known to historians in the region's plant and animal communities" (Cronon vii). Cronon teaches us the ecological history from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century in the New England. When the Europeans arrived in New England they found “a landscape endowed so astonishingly with abundance” (Cronon 33). When they saw New England so rich on natural resources they were amaze to why the Indians lived the way they did.…

I want to compare the way that the Spanish, French, and English interacted with the local Native Americans. Each country seemed to handle and deal with the natives in a different way. Each country was motivated by something different. For the Spanish, it was gold and riches. For the French, it was furs and land.…
Margaret Laurence’s “The Loons”, and in Emma Lee Warrior’s “Compatriots”, similarly display the many adversities of the Native civilization throughout Canadian history. Struggling to find their place in this world, the Natives are forced to integrate to the dominant culture. Although they battle to find who they truly are, the Natives remained determined to dictate how they should find their identity. In both short stories, the protagonists, Piquette and Lucy face many hardships towards their Native identity. This leads them isolated from their Native culture and their traditions.…
998973945 TUT0104 10/23/2014 Promoting Higher Education of The Canadian Arctic Environment For Inuit & First Nations Through reading Shelagh Grant’s book, “Polar Imperative,” the understanding I have come to is that the Arctic is a much more politically complex and socially diverse ecosystem than I once previously assumed. Previously viewing the Arctic as a barren frozen tundra with scarce species, including polar bears, seals, and fish. Through reading Polar Imperative my view has incorporated a political, geographic, and historical transdisciplinary understanding; which Island belongs to what country, and where the Arctic borders stand and how were they formed? Historically there were disputes over land rights and feuds about where boarders…

By interpreting the author’s motivations through a Psychological Lens, it is clear that John Green’s childhood and the challenges he faced during it, show the comfort in his writing, through the concepts of protagonists, travel, and escape. When a reader reads Looking For Alaska and Paper Towns by John Green, it is evident that both books are extremely similar: not only do their protagonists have similar motives and traits, but also the concepts of travel and escape are noticeably similar between both books. These similarities show that John Green has trouble stepping out of his comfort zone and enjoys writing plots of the same sort of background. These similarities are shown just through the storylines of two books. Looking For Alaska is…
The article “Of breathing holes and contact zones: Inuit-Canadian writer Markoosie in and through translation” by Valerie Henitiuk (2017) talks about Harpoon of the Hunter, a novel written by Markoosie and published serially between 1969 and 1970 in Canada and known for being the first Inuit novel. The article also discusses the translations of the novel into English and French, the unequal translation relationship between major and minor languages that many times has a history of colonialism and oppression behind it, and the post-colonial contact zones created through certain translational acts. Henitiuk begins by stating how translation from a minor language into a major language showcases the inherently unequal relationship between the…
The interior was kept somewhat organized. Conclusion The Haida, Inuit, and Sioux are all the same and different at the same time. They all hunt for survival, express themselves through art, build houses fit for them, and are fluent in their language. The tribes all are tribes of Canada.…
It was almost always snowing where the Inuit tribe was. The Haida tribe lived in damp climate. It was a challenge to get cedar bark from trees to make baskets and other things that they needed. The resources that they both used were a bit similar. They both used canoes for fishing, but the Haida’s canoe looked a bit different from the Inuit’s.…
