Kayapo Tribe Case Study

The Nooksack Indian Tribe (will be called the Tribe throughout this proposal) has regressed in self-governance. Over the past four years disenrollment has been the core focus of the Tribe, which has caused discourse in self-determination. There is a dire need to reform the Tribe’s constitution for it does not address our inherent rights, describes who we are as Nooksack people, overcome political obstacles, conflict resolution, and leadership roles. The current constitution is based on the Indian Reorganization Act [IRA] cookie cutter constitutions made by the federal government. The IRA is connected to the assimilation of Indians through federal policy that has caused problems concerning tribal leadership, enrollment issues, gives authority

A government surveyor drew a line separating the Wallowa Valley. The Nez Perce objected. The Nez Perce claimed, “the Indians who signed the new treaty were the leaders of other bands and had no right to give up land that was not even theirs” (Williams & Youngs, 5). This is how the Non-Treaty came about. Soon the whites and Indians fought over the land and Indians were killed, one that was best friend with Joseph, he felt like he was is brother. Burial was granted to bury the Indian in the valley by General Howard.

The parties involved in this case analysis are the Makah tribe, the young members of the Makah tribe, the elder members of the Makah tribe, the Makah tribal leaders, the gray whales, and the environmental community. The moral issues for this case analysis are the safeguarding of the gray whale population, which was on the decline back in the 1920’s. Another moral issue is the fact that the Makah tribal leaders want to use whale hunting as a way of re-establishing traditions, pride, and discipline with the young men of the tribe.

Things such as bead and feathers were used to decorate art and clothing.

The Kickapoo Tribe of Oklahoma is a huge part of Oklahoma’s history. The name Kickapoo comes from “Kiwegapawa,” which is an Algonquin word meaning “he stands out” or “he stands about”. Known to be fiercely independent is the Kickapoo Tribe. The lifestyle of a Kickapoo often changed due to the various amounts of migration. The tribe was continuously traveling more south and more west. The Kickapoo Tribe of Oklahoma has created history from a long route to Oklahoma to where the tribe is currently.

The Yurok tribe, although mostly assimilated in present times, has continued to thrive and protect their culture. The Yurok tribe has endured a sordid history. The tribe has suffered great atrocities at the hands of western culture. The Yurok went from being a thriving people, to being assimilated, almost to the point of ethnocide, (Kottak) and finally forced to live in a small area that was once a part of their vast ancestral land. The Yurok people have strived up until the present to keep their culture alive. In this essay I will be discussing what the Yurok tribe is like today, what problems they face politically and socially, and what the tribe is doing to combat these issues.

Thesis/Introduction- Have you ever wondered what our lives would be like if we had to get our resources from the environment around us? There would be no fast food, no stores. We would have to hunt for our own food. This is how the Plateau and Coastal tribes lived. The Chinook and Nez Perce tribes interacted with the environment differently and similarly to provide food, shelter, and clothing for their people.

There have been many instances throughout history in which indigenous people have unwillingly suffered the consequences of foreigners’ interaction with their culture. In the case of the Huaorani two foreign groups, the oil companies and the missionaries, invaded their land and gravely affected the life they led in the Ecuadorian amazon. In the book Savages Joe Kane gives a firsthand account at how the Huaorani fight to preserve their land and traditional way of life.

The Amazon is the planet's largest remaining rainforest. However, it is in danger because of deforestation and climate change. It is also home to over 20 million people. Greenpeace created a campaign to solve this problem called “Save the Amazon”. Due to this campaign, the organization is trying to stop companies from taking advantage of these natural resources without limits, protecting both indigenous people’s rights and environment. To be more specific, Greenpeace fights against the construction of a huge dam, which will eventually flood an area of rainforest. This project has not come to an end yet, but the organization keeps trying to prevent the impact of this

The Timucua Tribe was once a thriving group of Native Americans. They lived in the northern parts of Florida. In the cooler winter months, they migrated inland to the forests where they worked as farmers, growing crops of all sorts. In addition to farming, they also hunted animals for food. In the warmer summer months, they migrated closer to the coasts where they fished for food.

After watching the BBC documentary film All That Stands In the Way, I kept asking myself, is it true that, rather than traditional or cultural factors, it was primarily us that stood in the way of women achieving equal rights as men? It is a heavy but realistic documentary, pushing me to ponder the reasons for women’s being unequally treated. Traditions and cultures are so deeply rooted that it may take a rather long period to change. Tough although it may be, I believe that the process of gender equality could be accelerated through transferring our views on gender.
