The Case Of The Ramapough Native Americans

During the years between 1607 and 1611, many colonists died due to the following: Enviromental issues, settlers skills, and the Relationships with the Indians. In those years many colonists were traveling and seeking me lives but little did they know, their skill level was very low. As a result, many of the colonists ended up dead. Most of the colonists that traveled were gentlemen. However, these are not the nice men you're thinking of. These gentlemen are men that are usually to used to be useful or doing any work at all. Other than mainly gentlemen, the only colonists they brought were barrel makers, druggists, and people with jobs other than FARMING! Now let's dig deeper into why so many colonists died between the years of 1607 and 1611.

1. Trace the history of relocation and Indian reservations. In what ways did reservations destroy Native American cultures, and in what ways did reservations foster tribal identities? Be sure to account for patterns of change and consistency over time.

This essay will talk about the causes and consequences of government relocation and reservation policies of the Cherokee tribe, this essay, discuss about 3 sources that shows the evidence of the government relocation and reservation. The 3 sources are The Trial Of Tears, The Removal Act and The Holston (1719) Treaty.

Humans across all cultures try to explain why they came to be as well as where they came from, and from these explanations become stories. These stories all begin as oral traditions, they change generation to generation and at some point, they are written down or not. Native American genesis stories are often not written down as they are viewed as detracting from the story, they are meant to be oral stories and once written down they cease to be "alive". The Cherokee tribe has a very interesting origin story, that can lead to some interesting possibilities of where this story could have stemmed from. The Cherokee genesis story originates from an early group of humans crossing the Bering Strait and leaving an impact on their ancestor's memories

In the cooler weather, they wore buffalo skin for warmth. The Mexicans eventually influenced their style of dress. They began wearing vests, white tunics and more colorful clothing made from cotton.Storytelling is very important to the Apache Indian culture. Since they were not governed by any set of laws or rules and there were no jails for poor behavior, the Apache relied on passing down a code of conduct orally, from one generation to the next.The Apache were talented in arts and crafts. They were known for their beadwork in which they used shells, glass, and turquoise. They would often sew good luck beads onto war shirts. Basket weaving one of the Apache's oldest known forms of art . The burden basket and bread basket were the most common baskets. They also made jewelry, necklaces, earrings, and barrettes. Both sexes liked to wear shell jewelry.In the early 1800's, the relationships with the first white men to enter the region were solid. By the 1850's things had changed and as the Apache were being driven out of their homes and hunting and gathering was becoming scarce, raids and scalping began to take

Superfund starts when the release of hazardous materials or a possible waste site is reported. The EPA then investigates the site and compiles a database of hazardous materials and their location. After cleanup is complete, the EPA continues to see to compliance monitoring of the site. The sites cleaned up by Superfund are ones outside of Federal control and are therefore the responsibility of the independent owners. The owners must pay for property cleanup, aftercare, and monitoring of the site. They are charged penalties or fines if they fail

Following the end of World War II, Native American soldiers returning from the war found themselves returning to a situation in which they were treated as second-class citizens in their own country despite their impactful contributions to the war effort. The era that followed would continue to illustrate some of the issues that plagued the relationship between the government and Native American communities, which, in turn, was destructive to the aims at improving the lives of those that lived in these communities. Many of these issues stemmed from the government’s lack of awareness or insight of the culture of the tribes that they were dealing with. However, contrary to policies used in order to help sustain Native American reservations and

When trying to look up the policy behind the superfund act it was all blocked, which I found extremely interesting. I was trying to get a better feeling of what exactly the policy cover from the original document. The article by Ariel Wittenburg looked into more defining what the Superfund was supposed to be doing. The she transited into how it has helped and what it covers. Finally she talks about the failures of the program that stem from policy. The most shocking part of the article had to deal with the difference is reductions; in 1991-1993 only had a 10% reduction compared to the 53% reduction rate in 2001 to 2003. It would be interesting to see how many of these sites should still be on the list when looking at concentrations of toxins in the environment. Also how the talked about the finances of this programs was eye opening. This is a major issue

A Superfund is a program that was created in 1980, that oversees the management and cleanup of abandoned Hazardous waste sites. Hazardous materials at the given locations consist of gases, explosives, flammable liquids, mineral deposits and numerous others but are not limited to only such hazardous wastes. Once an abandoned location is determined to contain forms of hazardous materials by individuals (citizens, state levels, or the Environmental Protection Agency) can locate the sites. The Environmental Protection Agency then can assign programs such as the Superfunds to the complicated process of cleaning up the waste materials. The EPA also determines the necessary funding and remedies required to obtain a reclaimed property of land for the

The American Indians during that time period reflected the struggle of understanding the mean of “all men are created equal” because for the longest time , they were never accepted into the American society. Americans always felt the need to do something to them like attempting to temporarily fix the Indian problem, doing things like ignoring them, banishing them (Trail of Tears), or relocating them to reservations, but never just actually solving the issue by assimilating them into our culture. If Americans did accept them as equal, they would have never gotten the mistreatment and abuse they had for the last centuries, rather Americans would not hurt the Indians but integrate them into their society. I believe the Indians really struggled with the idea of " all men are created equal" because they were never considered equal at the time.

Superfund sites are located all across the United States and its territories. These sites have been deemed the worst of the worst in terms of environmental damage; they pose a threat to human health and the environment, prior to their remediation. Superfund sites are usually a result of several years of contamination; however, there are some instances when they are one-time accidents. United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is in charge of Superfund, which is the common term for Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and the enforcement of this law in the United

Founded in 1968, the American Indian Movement (A.I.M.) is an organization dedicated to the American Indian Civil Rights Movement. Its main objectives are:

Superfund program was initially created to fix dangerous hazards with speed, safety, and economy. While EPA has successfully implemented cleanups, key flaws in the Superfund program have slowed the overall pace of cleanup, increased costs, and created an unintended legal morass.

The “Environmental Justice Act of 2017” specifically points out the injustice of environmental impacts under the

Christopher Columbus was a man who led an expedition in which he discovered the lands of America in the late 1400s. He and his fellow Europeans had traveled to different lands before where they overthrew native peoples with a mission to spread their own religion and an attitude of superiority. The Indians had never before encountered people of a different culture. Although the two parties were of the same species, they were vastly different in language, clothing, technology, and lifestyle. When the Spaniards first arrived, they were unthreatened by the Indians and looked at them with a strong sense of condescension. The Indians, on the other hand, welcomed these strangers and bestowed generous gifts upon them. The Spanish thought the Indians were foolish and were not as generous in their reciprocation of such gifts. However as the encounter progressed, the Spaniards became more threatened by the Indians. Because of this, they antagonize the entire race of people. They believe they are all evil and less human. They respond to their actions with great violence and contempt, while stripping the Indians of their dignity. The Indians, in turn, react defensively, also with violence (Todorov). After decades of conflict, the exchange ultimately results in the complete genocide of the Indian population.
