Native title

AMST 105: Who Runs the Show? For my class I chose the title, “Who Runs the Show?” I decided to name it this because it is one that would cause me to wonder what it means and I would like to think that it would be one that other people would also be interested in. My plan is that the students who take my course would be drawn in just from the title. I would never actually tell the students what I mean by the title, because I am hoping that as the class went on that they would come to figure…

Sitting Bull used many tools in his speach to his fellow Natives. He spoke of the land and what it means to them, and he spoke of their ancestors. The most effective tool the Sitting Bull used, however, is his comparisons of the people, the animals, and the land they roam. Animals were an incredibly important aspect of the natives lives. They provided food, and most other things that the natives used in their every day lives. They only took what they needed and did not waste any part of the…

The formation of and present common law in Australia regarding settler interests and land claims demonstrates indigenous title to be an inferior and less important form of land ownership to that of white Australian interests. I will explain in this essay the prejudices and mistreatment of indigenous persons and their incessant struggle for land claims against the white European settlers, as demonstrated in the Yorta Yorta land claim case. I will also discuss the misconception and…

The title “When Worlds Collide” describes the interaction the people from the European countries France, England, and Spain had with the Natives in the Americas. These countries are described as two different worlds because of the vast lifestyle and ecosystem differences between the European countries and the New World. It is described as them colliding because when the European colonists came to the New World, they came in contact with the Natives, who differed from them in numerous ways. In…

merchandising. The mascot and team name controversy came about because of sports teams using Native American names and symbols for their mascots and team names (Wulf, 2014). During a football game, Indian dress, songs and chants, dance and sacred traditions were used. There are two conflicting viewpoints surrounding the controversy. One viewpoint believes that keeping Native American mascots and team names honors Native people, supports nostalgic feelings, and saves funding. The opposing…

culture.”- Sherman Alexie. This tells us that he was born and raised through a storytelling and tribal culture, which was his Native American side. Although they lived on the reservation their traditions of their ancestors did not fade they learned through telling stories and practicing their traditions. However, he soon leaves the reservation filled with his culture and native roots to go to an American school and learns another way of life and stories. Life between two worlds is not easy,…

on sleep. Columbus was known for many brutal attacks and events in history such as multiple rapes, enslaved people, and deaths. It is also well-thought that Columbus was the first one to discover the Americas , where many people don't know that the native Americans where the first to arrive in America. Instead of rewarding Columbus for all of these brutal and terrifying actions, we should abolish Columbus Day because of all of Columbus's lies and mislead ideas. When Columbus came to the…

Evolution was written by Sherman Alexie and deals with the exploitation of the Native American culture and describes how they are losing their identity while the ones who destroyed it are profiting from it. Hope begins with the speaker started to describe how the situation progressed regarding the abduction of her son. The…

Resilient Thrive of a Native In all three compositions: the short story Superman and Me by Sherman Alexie, the painting Contemporary Sioux Indian by James Bama, and the poem Without Title by Diane Glancy all exemplify the resiliency in modern Native American culture. Ever since the British came to America the Native American culture has been distorted. Without obtaining resiliency as a Native…

For my class, I chose the title “The Full Story of Native Americans.” There are many times in a history class or just in a general class where history has been changed or altered, and it leaves out the Native Americans, forcing the students to not receive the full story. I want to teach a class where this is not the case. My title explains to the students that they will get the entire story of Native Americans not just bits and pieces like many classes tend to give. According to Cynthia…
