Picture Of The Indian Culture And Society

In the story “Indian Education by Sherman Alexie, he gives the reader a quick narrative of his school experience starting from first grade and continuing all the way through twelfth. It is suggested with many exquisite and not so exquisite points about growing up and being schooled on an American Indian reservation. After reading the story for the first time much of the subliminal messages in it passed me by and the story came across as rather negative and bitter. However, after reading it again I was able to pick up much of the humor such as the analogy to Dr. Seuss' Green Eggs and Ham at the conclusion of the second grade. Such concluding remarks come at the end of each chapter and give the story a poetic tone.The story almost reads like

What does it mean when, in a room full of young and aspirational leaders, not one individual identifies as Indigenous? It’s a sign of privilege. Privilege is who gets to be around the table, who is invited to the conversation (Stonehouse, 2017). It’s a division of opportunity based on a history of socialized understandings of difference. But given this overwhelming landscape, Canada hopes to rewrite this history, “to guide and inspire Aboriginal peoples and Canadians in a process of reconciliation and renewed relationships that are based on mutual understanding and respect” (CC). This hope is encapsulated in what is known as the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

Paige Raibmon’s book “Authentic Indians” take a closer look at the concept of authenticity in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Focusing on the culturally diverse Aboriginal people of the Northwest Coast, Raibmon examines how both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people constructed and used the idea of the authentic Indian to achieve their goals. Drawing examples from three ‘episodes’ or stories about Aboriginal people of the Northwest Coast, Raibmon argues that authenticity is not a set marker that we can use to measure the distance between what an Aboriginal culture looks like today and what “real” Aboriginal culture looks like. Instead, Raibmon says that authenticity is an important and changing set of ideas that were used

As I finished the film Crash and read the book, I found few similarities and more differences. Both of them, however, relating to Fredrickson’s ethnic relations in a lot of ways. Throughout both Crash and the Indian story there were concepts in common, but the prevailing point were the hardships of every culture. This main concept can be drawn to the models of ethnic hierarchy and one-way assimilation. In the film and in the book, each race tries to be dominant than the other and often minorities are looked down on. This is when things like stereotypes emerge. It seems like we have been battling racism for a long time, but no progress has been made despite media like Crash and the Indian story showing us the problems at hand.

What I learned most through Albany field trip is about history. First, we went to Iroquois Indian Museum. I haven’t studied Native American in my home country. One of the tribes is called Iriquois Indian. When I looked around the museum, I thought its culture has some similarities with Japanese culture for the following reasons. First, I was surprised that there were a lot of ornaments of turtle or woman in the museum and there is a tale about woman and turtle. Japanese also respect the turtle because it regards as a symbol of longevity. The ornament of woman represents for fertility. In the tale that Iriquois people believe, they think the turtle helps skywoman, who fell from the sky, and made the Earth. So women are powerful than men. As

The Museum of Fine Arts was founded in 1873 and immediately became Boston’s center for the arts. Initially, the MFA’s collection was comprised solely of the personal art collections of members of the upper class. This circle of social elite who lent their personal collections were known as Brahmins, and at the time they were the most “well defined status group” in the city. The Brahmins wanted not only to display their art publicly for the sake of their own status related benefit, but also, allegedly, to better the community and their education of high art. During the 19th century, Boston was the most active location for cultural arts in the United States. Before 1850, popular culture and high arts were often displayed together and targeted,
