Native American Family

At the beginning of the 1830s, nearly 125,000 Native Americans lived on millions of acres of land in Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina and Florida–land their ancestors had occupied and cultivated for generations. President Jackson and the government had plans to drive the Native Americans out of the south. The southerners appealed Jackson because they wanted him to remove the Indians that were living in the region. Jackson was part of the democratic party. The national politics were becoming more democratic.

Family was identified as a potential risk (family disintegration and lack of parental discipline) and as a protective factor (parental support). In his comprehensive review of the predictors of Native American crime and delinquent behaviors, Pridemore (2004) identified risk factors including isolation, segregation, and powerlessness; alcohol and drug abuse; violent victimizations (often associated with alcohol and drug abuse); the emergence of gangs; and the lack of effective social services and protective factors including a strong family; close social

During the course of history the relationship between Whites and Native Americans changed drastically. A bond was created between the White traders who arrived in the Pacific Northwest and the Native Americans due to a mutual dependency for a wide range of commodities. This mutual bond was vital to both sides and kept the relationship between them on more equal standards. Later on the mutual bond and respect between them deteriorated and resulted in the Native American’s being categorized as inferior to the Whites. Such relationship changes were a result of two main factors; social changes, mainly the change in the whites in the region from white traders to white settlers, and cultural changes that resulted from White American’s sense of racial

When working with Indigenous children, social workers have a legal and ethical responsibility to make efforts to preserve the child’s cultural identity by working in collaboration with the child’s family, and band or community (cite). In which under the act, it directs social workers to respect the child’s need for community of care and for stable relationships with family and the cultural environment (cite). Further, when working with Indigenous families, is it vital to understand the importance around healing, which should be reflected through the relationship with Indigenous families by implementing: a value based principles that reflect Indigenous worldview a healing environment that is personally and culturally safe; understand the historical

1968. Devils Lake Sioux tribal members were concerned with the treatment of Native American children by local welfare workers. Native American children were frequently removed from their homes and placed in foster placements and for adoption with individuals that were not of Native descent. The removal of these children was carried out without discussion with the Native American community, nor officials of the Tribe. These tragic occurrences shaped the realization that something had to be done for these children and families. The situations that led to the passage of this legislation can be tied to the historical background and issues that Native American people faced. Cultural genocide plagued the American Indian people from the very beginning

An infant’s trust starts developing in the very beginning based on our ability to nurture and care for them. Their emotions towards the world around them throughout their life depends on the early experiences they face in the first months of life. It’s okay to tend to a crying infant as soon as possible, despite the common belief we may spoil them. Well taken care of babies enjoy themselves more during games, and develop trust and love for their caretakers. Later during that first year, a nurtured child is able to differentiate between loved ones and stranger, crying or appearing upset when encountering an unknown person.

Despite having little rights, hardworking women and children were often the key to success for independent farms. For these small, family-run farms, the children were often the ones who helped work and manage the land. Women were often the backbone of a household, doing the housework, weaving, cooking, and raising large amounts of children. Women were practically required to bear many children over a lifetime in order to staff the farm to maintain the family’s livelihood.

Erikson’s theory of basic trust versus mistrust focuses on not the amount of feeding and time spend but the quality of the parent-infant relationship. If the parent is available to tend to the needs to the child, such as relieving the discomfort with sensitively during the first year then the results are positive in the child’s development of the world. It’s during this stage that the infant comes to trust the caregiver and learns from the comfort it receives from the caregiver and connection to its environment. Mistrust is form when the needs of the infant are not attended to and is neglected or mistreated.

The Quapaw are a Native American tribe originally located in the lower Mississippi Valley. As a tribe, they had a peaceful lifestyle, at least until outer influence with other countries, such as France. While they cooperated peacefully with the French, and later the U.S., that cooperation has been nothing but a source of great misery for them. Both the French and the U.S failed to see them as human beings, and they were repeatedly been off and cheated out of their land. They are thought to have formed in the Ohio Valley, but slowly migrated into the lower Mississippi Valley sometime before 1673 (as that was when they were first observed by Europeans) before their forced relocation by the U.S. to Kansas. According to Simon Audrey, author of

During the second half of an infant’s first year at life, a bond is formed between the parent and their newborn. The parent comforts the infant and responds to all of their needs which allows the relationship to strengthen between the two of them. Babies acknowledge these special people differently than they would a stranger. For example, when a baby is wanting to be held he may reject someone that is unrecognizable or someone other than their parent. The bond a mother and infant share reflects on the future relationship they will possess. The mother and baby’s emotional bond begins when the baby’s hunger is satisfied. As the mother feeds the baby, she provides tension relief and becomes valuable to the baby and he begins to prefer the mother’s

Nowadays, when people communicate with each other, the first thing is they explore you in responsibility in your family, tribe or community. Because, they want to know more about you in a society. If you have a good tribe around you, people will have a great impression and trust in you. Also, people often rating you based on your family, work and property, if you have good all about that you will have a nice appraise and dignity from them. No one want everybody else thinking bad about them and don't have a good impression in a

Another expert, Erik Erikson, proposed an eight-stage psychosocial development process. In his theory, each stage involves a task that must be completed if infants are to successfully move to the next stage. The initial stage of “Trust versus mistrust” in psychosocial development arises in the first year of life. During this stage infants need to develop a sense of trust in themselves and in the world around them. The infant depends on the parents, with an emphasis on the mother, for nourishment. Their relative interpretation of world and society stems from the parent-child interaction. If the parents expose the child to consistency, and steady affection, the child 's perception will be that of trust. However, if parents fail to provide a safe environment that meets

But the ability of the caregiver to control this emotional communication becomes more pronounced in this stage of development, as well. The caregiver is now more able to shift the emotions and interests of the infant through various activities once the infant has established vital trust of the caregiver (Karpov, 2005, 85-86). This culminates in the achievement of a new functional role of the caregiver in the infant’s life since, as Karpov further notes: “Rather than continuing to play the role of infants’ partners in emotional interactions, caregivers, by the end of the first year, come to serve the role of mediators of the infants’ object-centered activity (Karpov, 2005, 86).” =========

Native Tribes of the Plateau region are located south of the Subarctic, west of the Plains, and east of the Northwest Coast. Tribes within this location include the Molale, Spokane, and Columbia. Their culture is similar to the areas surrounding it with a great deal of emphasis on the spiritual world. Boards, four-holed flutes from bird bones, birch bark drums, hide, basket bottoms, bark kettles, and make up the group of instruments that accompany the music present in this region. One idiophone described as a bird-bone whistle was not used in music, but was instead used for protection in war. Another interesting cultural aspect of this region is the Hand Game. This is a game of chance and betting that is used in social and ceremonial events.

    "Among the features of "excellent care" that have been measured are 1. general sensitivity to the infants need for stimulation as well as for quiet, 2. responsiveness to the infants specific signals such as fussing or turning away, and 3. talking and playing with the infant in ways that actively encourage the child's growth and development. It is concluded synchrony and responsive caregiving in the early months lead naturally to secure attachment in the later months. If a mother's caregiving is insufficient, the child will form an insecure attachment with the mother"(47).
