    After reading the text provided I came to the conclusion that the relationship between the Native Americans and the United States was in constant turmoil. The text is littered with many treaties made with the Natives and the effect these had on all parties involved.

    Kenny like many other British doctors, administrations,engineers and educators, believed it was their duty to bring civilization and modernity to the Indian culture, but he learns of the Indian culture and their ways to realize that the ways of the west aren’t going to be much help there. When Kenny questions Ruku on why she doesn’t just leave the dung to fertilize the earth, he is assuming that she and other village women are simply ignorant to modern agricultural practices but Ruku surprises him by stating that they know it will help the soil but when she asks him what other substitute there was to the dung, Kenny kept silent. Kenny had nothing to say because he knew that the dung is for household to protect it from the elements, it is also mixed with hay to create fuel for the people and it gets rid of ants and mice.

    Colonization of Indigenous people resulted in the appropriation of lands and resources for the benefit of early European settlers. Through colonization, there has been an imposition of Western ideology which enforces a patriarchal view that had negative effects for Indigenous women. In this patriarchal system, Indigenous men internalize views of superiority resulting in violent acts on women. These views are illustrated by Sherene Razak, in “Gendered Racial Violence and Spatialized Justice”, by Kim Anderson, in “The Construction of a Negative Identity”, and by Lee Maracle, in her book Ravensong. Therefore, this essay will argue how through spatial segregation, Indigenous women lose entitlement of personhood through state laws and that violence…

Overall, the main point of this paper is that the violence of native women and the process of taking land is deeply connected and taking back the two is a deep part of the activism being done by native women.…
