The essay starts with two logos that is very controversial. One logo is for the Washington Redskins and one is for the town of Franklin Lakes, New Jersey. As a result of this many people disagree and agree that they should change the logo. Some examples of how people disagree and agree are by the took a vote and more people said the should keep the logo. Many people also are saying it is showing offensive and is rude to native americans. I disagree about them dropping the logo because it represents Native Americans and it has been that way for many years and no one cared until now.

Native American culture originated in some parts North America. These countries are known as the United States of America and some parts of Canada. In the United States, there are 6.6 million Native Americans, which form about 2.0 percent of the population (Bureau, 2016). Europe had realized there were about 50 million people already living the “new world” and these people were called Native Americans. Native Americans were originally called Indians, but later through history they formed a new name. These people were called this because of them being native to the “new world” and the American part came after the colonist named the United States. Throughout history, Native Americans believed that using raw material in nature was the best way to provide for their people. Their culture thought no part of an animal should go to waste. They would eat the meat, use the skin for clothing, and make jewelry from the bones. Over the years a lot of their culture and customs were lost due to conforming with society. Their languages were referred to as “Indigenous Languages” because of them being extremely complicated and diverse. Some important factors that help understand the foundation of Native American culture are their rituals/practices, death ceremonies, holidays, family, and stereotypes.

Human beings, desire to maintain a connection with the past is achieved through the languages spoken, the various cultures practiced, and sadly through acquiring of cultural property by the means of grave robbing. Native Americans wanted justice for these past mistreatments and control over their history. According to Chip Colwell, campaigning, repatriation of indigenous artifacts began in the 1960s by indigenous activism. Finally, on November 16, 1990, The United States Government passed The Native American Graves Protection and Reparation Act. NAGPRA summarizes that museums must conduct an inventory of all native American cultural artifacts and remains. (Native) In addition, Museums send the inventories to federally recognized tribes, in

Cultural Appropriation is the adoption and adaptation of certain elements of a minority culture by a socially dominant group of people. This is becoming a large social issue because, people are refusing to acknowledge the true meanings of these elements. Malversation has occurred steadily throughout American and global history and it has been very prominent for the duration of the 20th and 21st centuries. For example, wearing a traditional Native American headdress for the sake of an international fashion show and not acknowledging that it is a piece of ancient, and even present day sacred and a religious sacrament. The headdresses are worn by highly respected tribal chiefs and symbolizes great strength and “god's messenger” and is reserved for the highest power in the tribe. To use it in a lingerie campaign is disrespectful

Our history is written by the winners of the bloody, and merciless battles that shaped our country. The hate that has slaughtered thousands of people, is also the hate that has made our country the beautiful tragedy it is today. We all know the history of how Christopher Columbus came to the native land, named the people here indians because he thought he was in the Indi mountains and brought disease and colonists to the land to make it part of spain.

Native American Culture needs to be portrayed authentically. In order to respect Native American traditions and practices the media needs to provide a sense of teaching through humor and a circular perception of time. In order to do so instead of the classic scene of a Native American dancing around a fire speaking “tanto”, allow for the mocking by an elder of a child who was misbehaving around the fire instead. In many tribes this is how the children are taught what behaviors are acceptable. The problem is as a viewer that kind of reinforcement has never been represented on screen. As Rod Rondeaux said from Reel Injun “we are starting to not recognize ourselves.” The protection of authentic native american traditions through film is not only

Native American rock art is a big part of early American history. Most of these fragments of history were destroyed and lost to the public due to vandalism, mass settlement and colonization, and man-made things like dams. The history of the rock art is incredibly fascinating.

Native American Culture Native Americans are also known as American Indians. They have been living on this continent 48,000 years before Christopher Columbus discovered America. By the time that he discovered it there were over 10 million Native Americans living on this continent. When the Europeans arrived the Native Americans were very interested and worshiped them to some degree.

In order to understand the difficulty many contemporary artists face when trying to accurately portray their culture, it is important to know where these stereotypes originated from. The word “Indian” is a European-derived concept. Prior to the invasion of the Europeans, Native American people were not considered Indians. They were members and leaders of their own socio-political and cultural groups. Dichotomy arose soon after the arrival of the Europeans, and Native people quickly lost their identity when they were merged together under a single defining word. There are currently 10 to 20 million people in the United States today with Indian blood, but only a small percentage identify as predominantly Indian.

One aspect that can be seen in both the New World artifacts and the Old World artifacts are human and animal figures. Humans, animals, and combinations between the two can be seen in both worlds but there are obvious differences in the details. Artifacts in the Old World tend to give a more realistic representation of humans and animals whereas the New World tends to give a more cartoon or stylized representation of the figures. The Old World museum has several figures that show a realistic picture of the humans from that time. One example of this, is in the Chinese figurines. These opal colored figures are extremely detailed, showing every element typically seen on a face. Additionally, items such as wrinkles can be seen on these objects
