Employment in Nebraska Government housing. Alcohol and cigarettes. Just a few things that might make up a weekend on the reservation. This is a “good” weekend for Native Americans on the reservation, comparatively to other weekends which might include working and more working. While many Americans spend their weekends at home with families and going places, some American Indians do not. Americans as a whole have unemployment and economic issues. While the issues of the Native American culture…

My expectation is to see through quantitative data that many are displeased with unemployment, education, sanitation, housing, and environmental issues. Because the government oversees reservations, things like the economy on reservations may be determined by the government. Companies have difficulty starting up because of excess regulation, and getting loans is tricky because of less land ownership (Regan 1). Native Americans are victims of police brutality as well and account for 2% of deaths…

know about Indian reservation. The author’s purpose is to inform to the audience about how they are living on a combination of irregular paychecks, fear, and hope and government surplus food. The author explained his points well in the article and his tone was respectful because he tried not to offend the group of the people who are still living on the reservation. Sherman Alexie’s main idea in the article is how Alexie defies stereotypes by being a prosperous, reservation born, Indian. Instead…

In a film directed by Chris Eyre, “Smoke Signals,” is the story of two Indian boys in a journey. At Idaho 's desolate Coeur d 'Alene Indian reservation, Victor and Thomas grew up together. They are not exactly friends, but they have a special connection that built up throughout the story. Victor Joseph is the stoic, athletic young man who is mostly ignored by others.

the leadership among our people. When there is a difficult decision to make, they always call on the woman for their opinion." (Mankiller 98). However, the erosion of women’s standing in Native society is increasingly evident on many of today’s reservations, where domestic violence and sexual assault occur at astronomically high rates. Some scholars argue that the authority that Native women possessed previous to European contact declined because of the cultural assimilation that occurred…

Cabazon Band of Mission Indians was a case that barred states from interfering with tribal gaming. These tribes were very fortune to have decisive, courageous and politically skilled leaders; but they also succeed because of the location and their arid lands were seen as unsuited…

the people 's freedom we stole from was that of the Native Americans. In Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, the author Dee Brown tells the story from the Natives perspective, and really shows how in most cases the U.S. government acted poorly in most Indian related matters. The mistakes the United States Government made, could have easily been prevented if they had considered the Natives as humans. In chapter 4, The Cheyenne, Arapahos, Sioux, and other tribes agreed to let the whites use their land…
