    The Haitian American culture has been a long-surviving and well-adapting culture. Starting with the indigenous people that occupied the island, before Christopher Columbus’ arrival in 1492. Columbus, being a conqueror for Spain, claimed the island of Haiti for King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella and named it Hispaniola meaning “little Spain”. From thenceforth the indigenous people of the island were killed off during gold conquests and the ruling of the Spanish by forced labor and diseases. With very little of the indigenous people surviving, Hispaniola became a part of the Spanish rule that was forgotten.…

    The Disney movie Pocahontas offers the viewer a stark portrayal of how Englishmen viewed Indigenous American tribes upon their arrival to the United States. The movie features a song titled Savages where Pocahontas and her fellow Powhatan tribespeople are described by the English settlers as “barely even human” and “dirty shrieking devils”. In reality, the first European explorers had much more diverse accounts of their experiences with indigenous peoples in North and Central America. To accurately evaluate early settlers interactions with American tribespeople, the works of Christopher Columbus, Cabeza de Vaca, and John Smith will be examined. Christopher Columbus was an Italian explorer who landed in the Caribbean islands after a two month…

    In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue and then he and his fellow explorers went on to take over the US region. Even though they had done horrendous deeds, the relations between Native Americans and the US citizen are ones filled with acceptance and often times sarcasm. Dr. Rayna Green, who is a Cherokee scholar and writer, created a way in presenting her serious information in a way that appeals to everyone which is that of using humor. During her discussion of the beliefs of white people about Native Americans she uses allusion, tone, and unique ways of describing the world that we can see presently around us.…

    Facing East from Indian Country by Daniel Richter is--without question--one of the most effective studies of Native American history. Richter’s previous book, The Ordeal of the Longhouse, which viewed the European invasion of northeastern America from the perspective of the Iroquois peoples of modern New York, reveals the same masterful grasp of early American history. However, the similarities stop there. Facing East turns on its head the instilled perspective of westward expansion from the early sixteenth century well into the nineteenth.…

    For Native Hawaiians, the last two centuries have been a struggle against extinction. Not long after Captain Cook sailed up in 1778, disease, poverty and political and economic exploitation began pushing their culture toward the vanishing point. One harsh milestone came in 1893, when American and European businessmen backed by United States marines overthrew the Hawaiian kingdom. Annexation by the United States quickly followed. “Hawaii has since thrived as a multiracial society, and its native language and arts have undergone a rebirth in the last generation or two” - http://ic.galegroup.com/ic/ovic/NewsDetailsPage/NewsDetailsWindow?disableHighlighting=false&displayGroupName=News&currPage=&scanId=&query=&prodId=OVIC&search_within_results=&p=OVIC&mode=view&catId=&limiter=&display-query=&displayGroups=&contentModules=&action=e&sortBy=&documentId=GALE%7CA146715697&windowstate=normal&activityType=&failOverType=&commentary=&source=Bookmark&u=isb&jsid=6b5aa6df167d8497aa62946e0f677df7…

From the Cherokee in the Mountains of North Carolina, to the Sioux in the North and the Navajo in the Southwest, Native American tribes were here hundreds of years before America was discovered. And during that time of isolation, these tribes had time to develop their own culture. And each tribe was different from the other. But the most memorable of these tribes was the Anasazi.…

    Question 2: Puritans originally came to America from England to get away from English rule, and establish their own religion. Back in England, the English Reformation led many English people astray from the rules, searching for a new place to call home and practice religious freedom. The puritans that came to America hoped to be an example for others, and because of this coined the term “ a city upon a hill” (Gastil, lecture). A city meaning a group of people, and upon a hill meaning they were sharing a common ground. This concept served to help those not associated with the Puritan faith to better understand the religion.…

    The effect the European American’s culture had on the Native Americans is still very prominent today because the stereotypical American Indian still persists both in life and literature. By erasing their languages and teaching European ways exclusively, the Native American culture has slowly disappeared. The culture has been slowly degraded by an increase of acceptance of Native American stereotypical attributes such as alcoholism, laziness, and gambling addictions among others. Indigenous people were deeply affected by European American culture and have been fighting stereotypes to rebuild the foundations of their identity that have been neglected throughout a painful history. Often times, stereotypes can be positive, but more often than…

    The Haunted Tropics: Caribbean Ghost Stories, edited by Martin Munro, is a collection of short stories written by contemporary writers of the Caribbean, as well as others from Canada and the Unites States. The book of fifteen tales explores the main supernatural theme with the evocation of ghosts, dead, undead or dying, that haunt the experiences of the characters in each story.

The anthology proves this point as throughout the book there is always the presence of a supernatural element. On the same hand, the collection brought together tales of diverse origins, i.e. from the different Caribbean islands, incorporating together characters who…
