In conclusion, the Na’vi in Avatar and the Aboriginal peoples have had similar circumstances and have similar views but their stories ended differently. The conflicts between the Aboriginal peoples and the Europeans

In this way the aboriginals were thought to be eliminated as a threat since they are no longer banded together through their beliefs, nor were they competent enough to gain power and success on their own.

The deposition of their land, involvement in violent conflict and exposure to new diseases, resulted in the death of a vast number of Indigenous people. For the small population that did survive through this period of time, their lives were irreversibly changed, forever

The Strongest Blood tells the story of two cousins in an Indigenous setting, living in the Northwest Territories. Anyone who has read The Strongest Blood knows how it centers in on the teachings of Indigenous peoples and the struggles and conflicts that they face involving their land, spiritual beliefs, and economy. Van Camp’s extensive use of literary techniques directs the spotlight on the two major themes of Indigeneity, and economical conflict while creating an interesting environment for the reader.

These birds were never fearful of him and only flew when he said they could leave. In another story, a neglected and despised human-eating wolf was tamed by Francis and quickly became the town’s pet and was given plenty to eat.

Walimai, by Isabel Allende, is a narration of a tribal man. The story begins as he starts to voice his opinions against “the white ones”, which he describes as men who “show a lack of respect” (1). He believes all of the living creatures shall be respected, and failing to do so may “lead to grave danger” (1). This teaching must be passed on to generations to come. Unfortunately, the white ones go against the beliefs of the elders, and uproots their tribe. For many occurrences, they are forced to “leave everything and run away like mice” (1). They take over the land, forcing them to move the entire tribe to a far away venue where “the women had to walk hours to find clean water” (3). Because of exhaustion, the Walimai was caught by the soldiers and forced him to work as a rubber collector.

In his arguments, the author uses his own point of view, information from other people’s research, and from historical voyages without offering any proper references. Additionally, the author uses non-academic language to inspire literary imagery in order to make the article more attractive to potential readers. This article does make for an interesting read, but it is far from accurate. In my opinion, the author has cherry picked the evidence in order to create a scenario where the blame for the demise of the ecosystem was places squarely on the native’s shoulders which discounts any natural factors that could have happened. The Rapa Nui were a complex society of people who utilized the land in innovative ways. Indeed something catastrophic did take place, and I do not know exactly what that was, but I do not believe it was solely greed and consumption that caused the downfall of an entire society as the author would have you believe.

No matter how many times history repeats itself, people still have the tendency to not learn from their mistakes. This statement is relevant when discussing the topic of genocide. When a person hears the word genocide they think of the Holocaust. But really there are multiple genocides with at least an equal to greater impact on the world today. Most people don't even know what the most devastating genocide wads. It was the Native American Genocide. Another example of deadly genocides is the Cambodian Genocide. This was an attempt to form an utopian society. More so it was a ethnic cleansing of the entire Cambodian population. This essay will compare and Contrast the Native American Genocide to the deadly Cambodian Genocide.

Indigenous people went through a lot from white brutality, alcoholism, the killing and driving off of game, and the expropriation of farmland, but all of these things added together explained the degree of their defeat.

Stories that have been passed on for decades by Indigenous people have many cultural values and meanings that can help teach and guide others. In his book Earth Elder Stories: The Pinayzitt Path, Alexander Wolfe’s includes three stories “The Sound of Dancing,” “The Orphan Children,” and “Grandfather Buffalo,” that reveal important Anishinaabe cultural values. In the story “The Sound of Dance,” the value of family sacrifice is shown as a strong Anishinaabe cultural value. In the story “The Orphan Children,” Wolfe expresses the importance of orally transmitted knowledge as a core Anishinaabe cultural value. Then in “Grandfather Bear,” the keeper of knowledge emphasizes the importance of the connection to the past, especially within family relations in Anishinaabe culture. There are many cultural values that can be found in these three stories told my Alexander Wolfe. Family sacrifice is one of many values shown throughout these stories, specifically in the story “The Sound of Dancing”.

Second Slide: The ways in which Indigenous Women tried to resist, but were ultimately victims of colonization, and how heteropatriarchy has affected them.

As a result, illnesses such as tuberculosis, small pox, and measles went uncured which led to the death of many Indigenous students (The Truth and Reconciliation Commission, 2012). This was illustrated in Wenjack where it is mentioned how Chanie had developed a lung infection, tuberculosis, which he had failed to receive treatment for. It is noted by Boyden (2016) that “tuberculosis and similar diseases had taken thousands of Indian children’s lives” (p. 11). The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (2012) state how the high mortality rates of students caused devastation within families hoping their children would return home. As a result, they spent their lives grieving never knowing how their child died or where their body was placed. Thus, it is no surprise that the statistics demonstrate that the Aboriginal population has higher rates of premature death (Pederson et al., date). Unfortunately, neglect in Aboriginal’s health care still continues to occur to this day. In particular, Pederson et al. (date) mentions how poor economic and social conditions in the Indigenous community exist which contribute to these individuals viewing their health status as low. Additionally, the neglect in this population has resulted in a reduction in their social determinants of health. For instance, Pederson et al. (date) recognize how physical neglect has resulted in “poverty, poor housing and substance abuse” (p. 297). As a result of being neglected, the Aboriginal population is continuing to suffer which further leads to consequences in their health. Thus, Wenjack enables the reader to acknowledge how neglect continues to play a role in harming the lives on the Aboriginal

Observed Wendigo disorders became less frequent, and “their culmination in murder and cannibalism would be even rarer” (Brightman, The Windigo in the Material World, 351). More often, these

The Article the end from the beginning re (de)finding Aboriginality written by Michael Dodson explores the notions on how Aboriginal people have been represented and perceived by the early settlers. Michael Dodson makes a critique on the language from previous historians. They Mention in the beginning that the Aboriginal people were seen as Noble savages from the prehistoric beasts, blood thirsty, cunning ferocious” that they even fell in the classification of blood types which gives an idea of an animal like classification, scientific based and based purely on Age and descent. ( Dodson, 2003: 19-20). Michael Dodson Argues the question as to how can the colonisers understand all the aspects of the indigenous people if they
