Allotment

FARMERS MARKETS The concept of Farmers’ Markets dates back to the 1700’s, originating in Lancaster, PA (Meet me at the Market). It is said that at the time, the markets were used as a critical source of food for residents in the local area. Since this time, Farmers’ Markets have developed into more of a trendy concept to satisfy the growing desire for consumers to find local, fresh, and organic products. According to Schupp, “Proponents argue that the interactions and transactions that occur at farmers’ markets benefit market participants, but, more importantly, have broader benefits for the neighborhoods they are located in and for society itself” (2016). Forever Florida has dedicated their existence to preserving Florida wildlife and to educating the people of the state. Although animals typically define the term “wildlife,” plants and vegetation play a huge role in the preservation of wildlife. The conservation is packed full of thousands of species of trees, shrubs, herbs, grasses, ferns, and mosses; the nature tour even points out several of the species and educates visitors on the benefits and dangers of each one. Forever Florida would be an ideal location to implement a local Farmers’ Market for vendors to come and sell their crops. Although increasing revenue is not the sole goal of Forever Florida, the act of farming offers several additional benefits in addition to increased income. Howley conducted research on the benefits of farming and found the…

Throughout the history of the United States, there have been several policy changes directed towards Native Americans. These policy changes have been separated into the different eras of Native American federal policy. One such era is the Allotment and Assimilation Era, which lasted from 1887 to 1934. During these years, the American Indians were subjected to two devastating policies: allotment and boarding schools. As explained by David Willkins, the United States became very coercive in its…

States have two years to spend each annual allotment before any excess funds are redistributed to states that have a financing shortfall—when projected CHIP expenditures exceed available funds to finance the program. States with a shortfall that have met an average enrollment target can also access funding from the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act (CHIPRA) child enrollment contingency fund (National Academy for State Health Policy, 2014) . Why is federal CHIP financing a…

Supporters of allotment believed that it would decrease the violence between the two groups. The selling of unused land would help farmers not to impede on the Indian lands and both groups would not murder each other. However, many were afraid that if the bill was not passed Indians would become extinct due to America’s expansion. Dawes ensured that the “allotment bill would ensure that the Indians had enough land to survive.” The hope of assimilation was also a key component in the case for…

This Allotment Act intended to dissolve the collective relationship to land that was fundamental of traditional cultures by imposing the allegedly superior Anglo-Saxon system of individuated property ownership . Allotments of land was not a new idea. It was, at the time, in place for the Indians to take up a plot of land and to farm like their white neighbors. The first indication that allotments might become a national policy in the U.S, was with President Chester Arthur. Arthur would deliver…

they did not enjoy the prosperity that other Americans enjoyed during this period. By 1926 the Allotment Act was recognized as a failure and the U.S. Department of Interior, commissioned a survey to document the failure of federal Indian policy (447). Eventually, Congress passed the Indian Reorganization Act, which effectively ended the policy of further allotment and alienation of the Indian land. Even though Congress passed the IRA in 1934 and President Roosevelt signed the law the same year,…

Dawes Act purpose was to give each head of a Native American family an allotment of land which they would farm and learn how to live a “civilized” life on. The Dawes Act was not an honest attempt to save Native Americans because the land they were forced on was not useful, the Dawes Act was not explained to the Native Americans and it did not respect the Native American culture. Native American tribes lived peacefully on reservations. First of all, the land given to the Native Americans was…

in the 19th century worsened conditions for Native American groups despite earlier promises of collective land ownership. Settlers advocated for individual allotments under the Dawes General Allotment Act of 1887, arguing that Native land use was inefficient and favored nomadic hunting over farming. This act divided reservations into individual homesteads, ranging from 160 acres for heads of families to smaller plots for single individuals and orphaned children. Hailed as a humanitarian reform,…
