Murder On The Iditarod Summary

Forensics has changed the way our criminal system works now. A lot of cases are being solved because of the development of forensics. Even cold cases are being brought up to the light to be investigated again and a good percentage of the cases are being solved and criminals are being brought to justice. The green river killer is one case that really got me intrigued into forensics and I got mesmerized by the techniques that are being used to catch murderers and other crimes being committed. The green river killer had an interesting childhood that led him to be a serial killer. He committed multiple murders on prostitutes and left there families with agony and pain. But advances in DNA ultimately led to his demise, police officers were able

Many people think of the Civil War and America’s Indian wars as distinct subjects, one following the other. But those who study the Sand Creek Massacre know different. On Nov. 29, 1864, as Union armies fought through Virginia and Georgia, Col. John Chivington led some 700 cavalry troops in an unprovoked attack on peaceful Cheyenne and Arapaho villagers at Sand Creek in Colorado. They murdered nearly 200 women, children and older men. Sand Creek was one of many assaults on American Indians during the war, from Patrick Edward Connor’s massacre of Shoshone villagers along the Idaho-Utah border at Bear River on Jan. 29, 1863, to the forced removal and incarceration of thousands of Navajo people in 1864 known as the Long Walk. In terms of sheer

“I’m fine!” they rushed out, forcing their eyes to meet with his. It almost stung. “I really am fine.”

“Hey, are you okay?” I heard even though my ears were still covered. I looked up and saw Logan standing there, concern written all over his face. His girlfriend would be pissed. I lowered my hands and nodded. “Yeah. . . I'm fine.” It wasn't very convincing and he looked at me

Over a period of time, he worked at many different plantations. He went into hiding for a period of thirty-one days only to return due to a sign of God. After his brother’s death, he became the property of Thomas Moore’s widow. Signs—voices—is what Turner heard. He had visions of bloody conflicts between black and white spirits. He received messages from God relaying to him that Christ had laid down the yoke and it was time for him to fight against the Serpent. Fight them with their own

One cold night in 1864 the tribe leader my dad moved us to sand creek because we were attacked by the settlers we got moved to reservations.We knew we wouldn't survive there so we got moved to sand creek anyway back to the story.When we got to sand creek we were surprised how dirty it looked we had to set up our tepes so we did that while my dad talked to the mountain men. After, setting up our tepes we set up our trenches my dad came back looking happy he told us we got a place.We all shouted “hurra hurra”it was time to sleep everyone went to bed.When we woke up the next morning we smelt blood and

The Sand Creek Massacre was an attack on the villages of Cheyenne and Arapaho in southeastern Colorado Territory on November 29, 1864. Around 700 men of the Colorado U.S. Volunteer Cavalry attacked and killed an estimated 70-163 people who lived in those towns; two thirds of the people who died were mothers and children. The attack occurred because the Cheyenne and Arapaho people destroyed white settlers’ property, and an Indian chief tried to settle things peacefully, but it was too late.

On November 29, 1864 approximately 700 U.S. troops attacked a village of 500 Arapaho and Cheyenne Indians. The village consisted of men, women, and children, who thought they were at peace with the U.S. government. The attack at Sand Creek was part of a chain of bad events and battles the Plains Indian tribes were experiencing with migrating settlers arriving from the east and U.S. soldiers. An 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie condensed Cheyenne and Arapaho land but promised them yearly payments in exchange for safe passage of settlers through their tribal lands. The discovery of gold in Colorado in 1858 brought a greater inflow of settlers coming in a hunt

The Myall Creek Massacre occurred in the early evening of Sunday the 10th June 1838. A group of eleven men, convicts and ex-convict stockmen, viscously slaughtered a group of around twenty eight Wirrayaraay Aboriginal people. They attacked men, women and children who were all either camped peacefully next to the station huts or, inside the station with the other settlers, enjoying dancing and a meal together (at the Myall Creek cattle station in northern New South Wales).

Mountain Meadows Massacre was staged on the Baker- Fancher wagon. The Massacre happened on September 11 ,1857. The Massacre was a huge deal for us in Arkansas. It was wrong on many levels and the people didn’t deserve it. Many things lead up to this tragic event, and many things happened during the this time.

“The patrol officer and I talked for a while and then he strangely hurried of. He thought that i didn’t see him but I did but wasn’t worried. No one would have thought I came east. At least I thought.”said Bob

"You alright man? You were out for almost a week, and you were screaming in your sleep. Do you usually have night terrors like that? Or are you just traumatised from... Whatever the hell they did to you?" I managed to creak out a single word at last.

Throughout history, mass murders and deaths have proved to be a negative aspect of the cultures in which they occur. The Myall Creek Massacre is no different in this regard. The massacre, much like its American counterparts during much of the slavery period, is a depressing example of faulty reasoning. Subsequently, generations have suffered as a result of the terrible incidents and though processed that prevailed during this time period. What is alarming is that many of the horrific incidents that occurring during this period was undocumented. There is no method by which researchers can determine how many aboriginal individuals were murdered as a direct result of the white supremacy crusade. The number, I would venture to say, is staggering. Although unique, the massacre has many common themes that are the foundation of many mass murders in history. Namely, the characteristics of retaliation, racial supremacy and fear are widespread in regards to the Myall Creek Massacre. These characteristics provided the foundation by which these actions were justified. It is my belief however, that these actions had no merit to them. The taking of innocent life, irrespective of the justification is wrong.

Have you ever wondered why the iditarod is so important well then you should read this. One reason is that it’s full of alaskan history.It also pits man and animal to the extremes. The third reason is that it shows how athletic all of the dogs are.

Tradition is a big part of a cultural identity. Traditions are not loved nor understood immediately, however with time the importance of tradition becomes evident as it makes people unique. As a kid, serving meals every thanksgiving may feel insignificant and tedious, but as an adolescent the small amount of time spent as a family doing something annually has a lasting impact on one’s values. Frank Waters’ fictional novel, The Man Who Killed the Deer, Martiniano struggles to find a faith after he illegally kills a deer. Neither the whites not the Indians seem welcoming because he offends both by breaking the law and not showing respect to Indian ideology. The deer continues to haunt him until he understands the role of nature and the cycle of life. The poem “I Have Killed the Deer”, written by a Taos Pueblo Indian, emphasizes the importance of equality and the mystical connection with nature. Both works highlight the unique Indian perspective of nature and its contribution their identity. Both Martiniano and the Taos Pueblo Indian use nature to provide life; Martiniano’s self-centered view on the old Indian traditions prevent him from finding peace in a faith, while the Taos Pueblo Indian fully appreciates and understands his role in nature.
