3am. I had forgotten but it was the day we were going to the pueblo . It's 3 hours away from Oaxaca, Mexico and we had to find a cab to take us as we packed a couple of clothes. On the way to the pueblo we were falling asleep, or at least we tried to but we actually couldn't the way was way to rocky. It was also pretty dangerous because there was no railing or nothing we would go up and down mountains. When we first arrived to the pueblo I couldn't help but notice that it was like a miniature…
900 and 1250, spread across the Four Corners region, Turner has amassed more than 30 examples of brutalized human remains” (Researchers Divided Over Whether Anasazi were Cannibals). The other side says that since they are the ancestors of today’s Pueblo Indians and this is not part of their culture, it could not have been part of the culture back then. Yes, there was violence but they do not believe it was to that extremity. “Other scientists point out that the "cannibalized" bones lie among…
Royal colony: A royal colony is one ruled over by an official chosen by the monarch in rule, specifically the British crown ruler. Oftentimes, the monarch would only indirectly rule over the colony with direct rule coming from the governor or proprietor.

Many proprietary colonies later became royal colonies after being accrued by the monarch or royal rule. Because of…
An Analysis of President Woodrow Wilson’s Address in Pueblo, Colorado The international system Woodrow Wilson sought to establish represented his principles. Wilson wanted to establish a system of international governance that encouraged global reform and peace (Rosenberg 63). A large part of this envisioned system consisted of the League of Nations, an organization designed to defend world peace and order. Yet despite being an avowed pacifist (Merrill and Paterson 49), Wilson is perhaps best…
By emphasizing a connection with “his” pueblo and their opposition to “aquel gobierno” (a phrasing that stresses the government’s distance from the people), the narrator draws on his regional credentials and strikes an emotional chord with his presumed audience, people living a rural or semi-rural lifestyle far from the elegant Mexican capital. However, it is crucial to note that although the singer speaks in the first person as he narrates the action, it is not himself he is speaking about nor…
During the early and mid 1400’s, before colonization, North America was inhabited by an enormous amount of diverse Native American tribes. These tribes were incredibly dispersed across the continent of North America, which resulted in Native Americans populating many different geographical regions. The introduction of settlers from Europe, especially Spain, caused the lives of these Native Americans to transform drastically. When analyzing the history of North American tribes, it is important to…

Prior to the arrival of Columbus to the United States the land was primarily occupied by the native tribes. Columbus labeled them as the Indians as a result of his settlement on America instead of India for which he set sail for. The United States harbored various cultures, beliefs, cuisines, languages, dwellings, clothing, and much more from the diversity of each tribe. Studying about the everyday lifestyle of these tribes was of particular interest to me as they pioneered utilitarian ways of…
Americans were great writers and had were very honorable people to one another and their land. Traditional Native stories like “Song of the Sky Loom” by a Tewa Indian, “Sun My Relative” by a Havasupai Indian, and “I Have Killed the Deer” by a Taos Pueblo Indian are very meaningful and are important towards the Indian culture. Because these traditional native stories contribute to the lives of contemporary tribal people, it has a great significance not only to the reader, but to their way of…
