United States v. Boromir and Faramir
JUSTICE Moonjersey for the Court:

Resting on the Utah-Colorado border, a new land was stumbled upon in a split in the earth’s crust. As soon as its discovery, legislation was being written to protect the discovery and all who were in it.

President Obama personally made an executive order on behalf of the preservation of orcs, giants spiders, and Balrog-type species (which came out of Middle earth) so that they ‘ could be enjoyed for generations to come’. Although this seems like good stewardship shown to these creatures, when observing the basis on which President Obama’s executive order existed upon, there was none to be observed. In truth, the opening declaration of Article 1 reads, “ All legislative

According to this law, Congress must withhold 10% of the state’s federal funds, for educational purposes, if the state does not comply with these name laws. In South Dakota v. Doles it concludes that withholding a small amount of funds is constitutional and is not considered as bribery of the state. In this case, however, a greater purpose is at hand than just the funds issue — states intervening on personal rights. Is it legal for some states to force its’ citizens into having certain names? The Hobbits and other citizens alike should be permitted to name their children generally whatever they desire. As is known, one’s culture plays a major factor in what the parents name the child. For instance, Indians named their children names that signified something as a characteristic, a tribute, or for some other sacred reason. Whatever the case, the naming of a child is a bestowal to a parent that they must decide what to call him or her. Moreover, the ones who have already received their names and do not have a first and last name should not have to acquire one so that their names may also fit the culture of the inhabitants of America, either, for that is by whom he or she is recognized. This business of names interferes in private citizens’ lives and like the laws mentioned before is held to be unconstitutional by the judgement of the court. Therefore this law is

    As Europeans spread into the New World, their sense of superiority and entitlement can be found in the various laws that failed to protect the indigenous people’s culture. The passage of NAGPRA (Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act) in 1990 would slowly begin to rectify the hurt, damage, and atrocities committed in the name of science. For many Native American’s not only was their land taken, the remains of their ancestors were removed and carted off. The remains along with cultural goods became collectibles, which were studied and later displayed in many of our nation’s museums. Native inhabitants were placed on reservations, coming under further control of the Federal government.…

    Language Discrimination in America Language discrimination is taking place here in America. Specifically, by forcing individuals who chose to live and work in America to speak English or face sanctions, such as losing parental rights or their jobs is wrong. In the essay, “Tennessee Judge Tells Immigrant Mothers: Learn English or Else,” by Ellen Barry, the author explains how Judge Barry Tatum of Tennessee is mandating immigrant mothers who come before him, to learn English or risk losing their children. Removing a child or children from their parents should be based solely on whether neglect or abuse is proven, not the inability of the mother to speak English.…

    In the articles, the authors highlight important notions such as “sovereignty,” “recognition,” “separateness,” “domestic dependent nations,” “dominate the physical space,” “reform the minds,” and “absorb the economic”. The authors argue that the legal and juridical sovereignty of American Indian provides them with the right to maintain and protect their traditional distinct political and cultural communities. In this pretext, to deal with the growing environmental problems at an alarming level, the tribal governments have inherent and statutory right to set their own environmental standards to meet the emerging environmental challenges. These challenges are serious threats to their socio-cultural, economic, politicolegal, spatial, and temporal…

    The indigenous cultures that resided in the Pacific Northwest lost things that even now remain outside of the understanding of the colonists that took over their lands and reshaped them in ways that leave them unrecognizable as the places that were here before. The far reaching impact these changes had on the landscape and ecology of the Pacific Northwest resulted in loss of lifestyle and tradition in addition to the loss of place. The sudden and unexpected remodeling of the landscape caused the lands that settler treaties distinguished as reservations to lose any value they may have had prior to the treaty. Nothing prevented new settlers from redirecting the rivers that fed the reservations or dumping waste on tribal lands in an effort to…

    There can be no doubt that the Lewis and Clark expedition was a monumental juncture in American history – the lands that they explored more than two hundred years ago are today home to millions of Americans. However, at the time, most Americans had only a faint conception of what genuinely existed west of their homes. They could not have imagined the spectacular lands of the Pacific coast, territory that would become, arguably, the nation 's most highly sought-after within 50 years. However, this dream would never have become a reality if not for the initial reconnaissance and documentation by Captains Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, and their 41-man unit, coined the “Corps of Discovery.” Throughout this unprecedented journey, what was the…

    Ben Nighthorse Campbell, a Cheyenne Indian and past U.S Senator, once said, “treaties are promises between two nations. And whether they are going to be valid or not, and whether they are going to last or not, is based on the heart and belief of the people that are participating.” (Harjo,221). This short statement is packed with reference to historical treatment and intent of American Indian treaties, acknowledgement of the continued power of treaty making in the present and the lasting social, economic, legal and strategic impacts of reclaiming sovereignty. These sentiments reveal that treaty making has had an extensive effect on the daily lives, both past and present, of countless American Indians as well as American ideology and law.…

Anzaldua recalls, “I remember being sent to the corner of the classroom for ‘talking back’ to the Anglo teacher when all I was trying to do was tell her how to pronounce my name. ‘If you want to be American, speak ‘American.’ If you don’t like it, go back to Mexico where you belong” (1521).
