Tribes in India

When I read Museum Indians I thought that the simile most important to the story was “She is so tall, a true Dakota woman; she rises against the sun like a skyscraper...” This part from the text means that when the author describes her mother she is different from any other woman that she has met and encountered in her life. She holds her mom on an invisible pedestal that is even higher than needing the sun to live. The effect this has on the text is that the reader is fully able to understand that she thinks so greatly of her mother. As the reader gets farther in the text they will also come to the know how little she thinks of herself. The tone of this quote that you take in is joyful because it make you think of the bright sun and how her

The Sioux and Chippewa Indian tribes’ have a drastically different way of living compared to what other people are accustomed to in terms of their history, clothing, tools, and weapons needed for survival. The Sioux Indians were originally from Asia, but migrated to America about 30,000 years ago. Their long, straight jet-black hair resembles that of the Asian descendants. The Sioux tribes were located in The Great Plains, which consists of 7 different states Minnesota, Wisconsin, North and South Dakota; however, they were also known to live in parts of Nebraska, Illinois, and Montana. “The name Sioux is an abbreviation of Nadouessioux. (Britannica) The name was given to them by the Ojibwa (Chippewa). Sioux means, “Little snake”. The Sioux tended to follow the pattern of the buffalo, which is why they are found in multiple locations.

Geographic: The geography of the Southern Coastal Plains includes hot humid weather and frequent flooding. This area has scrub brush, mesquite trees, and oak trees. There is plenty of grass and mosquitoes present all year round. This region is located near the Gulf of Mexico.

Founded in 1891, the United States Industrial Indian School at Phoenix, later known as the Phoenix Indian School, was a coeducational, federal institution for American Indian primary and secondary students. The school temporarily operated out of the West End Hotel, but in April 1891 a 160-acre property was acquired with money from both the federal government and a group of Phoenix businessmen, and in June 1892 a main school building was completed. This Indian school was created for the purpose of indoctrinating the indian children into the American lifestyle and to eliminate all knowledge of their culture. It did this through the banning of any language that was not english, forcing them to adopt american values and american beliefs, and violating

The Plain Indians Fall The Plain Indians were a group of indians that got their name from living in the great plains of the United States. The Plain Indians were known for worshiping the Great Spirit, and would preform rituals and dances to their Great Spirit. Their main food source was buffalo and they would rely on that highly in order to survive. The Plain Indians were a very distinct group of people that relied on the land and natural resources in order to survive.

The Gebusi are an interesting culture with a set of standards that clash heavily with western ideas of morality. To the Gebusi people they are not infringing on any inherent set of moral rules, but as westerners it is hard to read the ways of the Gebusi without feeling a little upset. They abuse and put the woman down, and kill each other over sorcery that no one is actually practicing. Despite these seemingly horrible things, the Gebusi practice a much interconnected family unit that celebrates the idea of Kogwayay: togetherness, friendship, similarity.

Thirty-Five Native American tribes exist in Washington State. The Tulalip tribe resides in Marysville, Washington bordering the town that I live in. The Tulalip Tribes are the state’s second largest tribal group. In the past Cascade Midwives & Birth center, where I plan to practice my skills, has conducted mini prenatal clinics for expectant Tulalip mothers. While, in recent years it has not been as prevalent. Midwives have been integral for many underprivileged women to get quality healthcare throughout pregnancy. These women are typically marginalized in society but can be well served by midwives. Midwives are less threatening and believe in informal consent, they allow people to make their own decisions. This helps avoid the stigma of a

British treaty negotiators at the time had a dimmer view of the Parry Islanders considering them a stubborn lot growing “small patches of corn and potatoes for a 'bon-bouche' in the autumn”. They also note that they are still living in wigwams and not log cabins as many other tribes had been doing for centuries.

With the cultural differences, it is hard to understand why the Nacirema make these rituals a huge importance. Ethnocentrism plays a role, and is very present because it is very easy to judge one group’s behaviours and beliefs from the perspective of our own. It may be because it is something that we are not accustomed to or may find odd and unethical. If we were to put ourselves in their shoes, it is certain the cultures around the world may find our own “rituals and traditions” to be odd as well.

American Indians did not get scared of the explorers who had came to their land. They most likely were curious to see that there were different people, not just them, living around the world. The European settlers first arrived to see many different Indian Tribes that be made of different cultures. The fact that the American Indians didn't really pay back against the colonists at first sight, gave the colonists a welcoming feel to what they called the "New World". As explorers came to migrate, they found out that there were lots of lands, crops and animals that they never have had access to. Even though the colonists saw this as an opportunity to gain money, the American Indians suffered with the existence of people who they weren't used to

For both of the cases presented, there were similar ethical principles that were violated. In both of the videos, confidentiality was violated. Both the Havasupai Indians and the infants had their blood and information associated with that blood viewed by many researchers who did not originally have consent to this information. The Havasupai Indians had the principles of beneficence and fairness violated. Beneficence was violated when no benefit was given to these people after they had agreed to take part in the study of diabetes that was affecting almost all of them. Fairness was violated when the researchers took advantage of the people not understanding what some of the things they were consenting to were. In the video with the infants, their fairness was violated

The Powhatan women were always busy doing something, and the Powhatan women had to be educated at an early age of their life. On the contrary, the Powhatan men had a lot less of jobs than the Powhatan women. The Powhatan men jobs usually

In the early years, George Washington believed that the best way to solve the “Indian Problem” was to simply “civilize” the Native Americans. The Goal was to convert them to Christianity, learn to speak and read English and adopt European-style economic practices like Individual ownership of land and other property. Some of the Tribes embraced these customs and become known as the “Five Civilized Tribes”. (www.history.com)
