    In this article, Lee Maracle discusses how Native people handle situations with enemies, paths to take in life, education and the laws of the land.

    During the early and mid 1400’s, before colonization, North America was inhabited by an enormous amount of diverse Native American tribes. These tribes were incredibly dispersed across the continent of North America, which resulted in Native Americans populating many different geographical regions. The introduction of settlers from Europe, especially Spain, caused the lives of these Native Americans to transform drastically. When analyzing the history of North American tribes, it is important to note the reasoning behind the susceptibility of Native Americans to European conquest as well as why these tribes were so distinctly unique from one another. After the ice ice age, the climate and geography of North America changed drastically.…

    The short story “Abitibi Canyon” by Joseph Boyden consists of several important principles of Indigenous people that I would like to make connections in three different ways. The connections I have chosen are issues that I learned in school, hear of and personally encountered with. Making connections from prior knowledge deepens people’s understanding of problems that others may deal with on a daily base. In today’s society, it is human nature to judge others by their actions and appearance without realizing that they are doing so. For the past couple of weeks, I have been watching Tell My Story, Blind Date, which is a series of YouTube videos by SoulPancake that make videos of things that they think matter, and the specific video…

    This week the central theme of the text is to follow the shifts in the main food source and the dependence on tools, weapons and etc. For example, The Lummi were dependent on salmon for thousand of years for an important resource the Lummi built logjams in salmon breeding areas due to eroded lands to keep their main resource. With the Northwestern Indians strong cultural, economic and political ties to salmon reaching beyond the borders decreasing challenges to their main food supply was inevitable. Moreover, the readings this week show the shift in food supply after the first contact with the Europeans you can see the Northwest Coast people starting to hunt mammals of the sea change their main food source and becoming dependent more on weapons.…

    “This land is your land, this land is my land, from California to the New York Island, from the Redwood forests to the Gulfstream waters, this land was made for you and me” (Guthrie). Contrary to the lyrics in “This Land is Your Land” by Woody Guthrie, this land was apparently not made for “you and me.” America was only made for the “me” aspect of the song, “me” being the Americans. Thousands of years ago, the Americas were undiscovered by the Europeans. Now, this land withholds a great country.…

    The use of specific accounts, while individually could be disregarded as anomalies from the general “ecological Indian”, collectively, describe a variety of cultures each with their own pressures and resources. On the plains, communities revolved around the buffalo because of the abundance and relative ease in hunting it, however, fires, drought, preference for cows as opposed to bulls, competition from horses and the consumer market brought by the colonizers placed strain on the communities and their main resource until it was all but depleted (Krech 138-141). In the south, deer was an important resource similar in value to the plains buffalo alongside agriculture and gathering (Krech, 154). However, similar to the narrative in the plains, with the introduction of the consumer market, hunting outside of basic need became common, reducing population sizes faster than they could recover and forcing longer travel for successful hunts which resulted in increased interactions with other tribes leading to a higher reliance on guns for conflicts meaning the tribes had to collect more hides to purchase these weapons (Krech, 158-161). Even in the example of the Piegan tribe, who “paid little attention to the trade until just before the annual trip to the post” (Krech 142), which the author uses to contend that the consumer market colonizers brought to…
