In “Dear John Wayne” by Louise Erdrich, it becomes obvious to the reader that Erdrich feels as if Native Americans, such as herself, are inferior to the entire white population. Throughout her poem, Erdrich expresses her opinions and the actions of white people like “John Wayne.” The message she sends to the reader brings attention to the display of Native Americans. Erdrich strives to express her opinion that the media displays Native Americans in an insignificant fashion and that the media…

The 1790’s to the 1840’s was a period where the colonial people had a chance to revolutionize the very way of their living. They did this throughout many different ways, some unsuccessfully, but the majority impacted the people in a substantial way. The way these people would live their lives depicted the way they were looked at. Although, there are many different ways the people’s lives would change, house advancement, travel and music were the most prominent. “There is more travelling in the…

North American integration has not seen much progress since NAFTA came into effect in 1994. A large inhibitor of this stagnant integration is the dual-bilateral relationship that exists between the three countries. Several failed initiatives for furthering integration have been made by many different leaders throughout history. None of these attempts have succeeded in making significant progress towards a unified region. Canada’s recently elected Prime Minister Justin Trudeau seems to inspire…

Bos bison, or the American bison, is the largest land mammal native to North America. It is placed in the same genus, Bos, as the domestic cattle. However, some taxonomists categorize it in the genus Bison, arguing that there is a substantial number of differences to separate it from domestic cattle. The American bison can be separated into two subspecies: B. Bison bison and B. Bison athabascae. B. Bison bison, or the plains bison, is more common in western United States. The plains bison also…

inspired by their European counterparts, why has Latin America failed to successfully implement these institutions in a meaningful way, and why it is plagued by illiberal politics and policies. Additionally, how does the Church and its followers impact politics in South America, specifically in the liberal sense. My personal interest is understanding why the states of Latin America did not unify under a similar fashion as the United States of America, but rather fought wars against each other…

All of the three films talked about the changes of the Indians’ life after the arrival of the Europeans in different levels or aspects. The differences lied in the Indians’ reactions or behavior, in regard to change, adaption, resistance and revitalization, when they confronted the outsiders. In the Cauldron of War, we could see huge impacts the Europeans brought on the various aspects of the Indians’ life. First of all, the fur trade introduced by the Europeans changed the Indians’…

In the past hundreds years, the British colonized over 100 countries including South Africa. Did this leave any positive impact on the colonized country? The colonization of South Africa began long time ago in the sixteenth century. With around one hundred and seventy years of colonization, the British changed South Africa so much that it brought a bad impact to the South African people ("British Takes Control of the Cape”). These negative impacts could cost the South African people’s social…

Now, as more evidence is found, other theories are coming into the light. The Beringia Theory has been the most commonly believed theory by historians. This theory states that…
