In the graphic novel Mikomosis and the Wetiko, a native man is hung by settlers for burning a woman. What the men that hung him did not know was that the man was only following the law that he knew regarding someone who had turned into a Wetiko.

Her statement highlights how the graphic novel puts into question on how Cree and Canadian…

These terms however were oddly omitted from Kitchen’s translation of the passages (Kitchen 1982: 56). Furthermore, they are visually represented as looking different from the Egyptians in terms of their clothing, complexion, and chariot technologies to list a few (Baines and Malek 1988: 202-03). Shaw however points out that many “Sea…

Each of the bills was introduced at very different times in American history. It seems like every year immigration reform is on the table for Congress but no one agrees perfectly on how to do it. The IRCA demonstrates the two parties at least willing to be able to cross party lines for immigration reform even if it is not perfect. The failure of the 2007 bill begins to show the darker future of non-partisanship in which the two parties go far left and far right digging in their heels stopping…

When Did Canada Achieve Independence? Joely Brown For Canada, achieving independence was an especially long and gruelling mission. From being compared as a ‘second-class’ country to Britain to developing the role of a World War II hero, the experience that Canada went through could be described as a climb up a very high mountain. In order to gain independence, a country needs to be able to have control over itself without having a complete breakdown, have a strong reputation that…

gave their lives or remain missing. The Vietnam Veteran Memorial is dedicated to honor the courage, sacrifice, bravery, and dedication to the duty of the country.

megaproject that took place in Boston, Massachusetts from 1982 to 2007 [1]. While there were many aspects to the project, the main goal of the project was to replace large parts of the highway infrastructure in the center of the city. The project has become infamous for vastly exceeding its intended budget. The initially estimated budget and completion date of $2.8 billion and 1998 ballooned into a cost of over $8 billion (when adjusted for 1982 dollars) and completion date of 2007 [2]. …

democratic government. The 1930s through 1970s, according to McAdam (1982) was the era in which new forms of communication such as: the radio, television, and newspaper became accessible to African-American communities. In turn, they were able to organize, network, and assemble in large masses of protest. It was this cognitive liberation: belief that change was possible, that eventually drove the success of the Civil Rights Movement (Jones, 1982, p.60). Products of the Civil Rights Movement were…

I write to you today following the trial of a man who was incriminated with successively operating an illegitimate gas station within the walls of a low-end trailer park in Sunnyvale (just outside Dartmouth).

As you may imagine, it was at this stage that I realized that this was not going to be a typical trial.…
