If those dead Indians came back to life, they wouldn’t crawl into a sweathouse with you. They wouldn‘t smoke the pipe with you. They’d kill you. They’d gut you and eat your heart.” -Marie, Indian Killer, 314 The identity of the modern Native American is not found in simple language or description. Neither does a badge

The two different tribes I’m going to compare are the Plains Indians and the North west Coast. Most people assume that since they are considered the same race, that all tribes have the same customs, which is partially wrong. However, somethings are similar if not the same in different tribes. One of these customs

“Big Two Hearted River”, a semi-autobiographical short story by Ernest Hemingway, is a story about the main character, Nick, returning to Big Two Hearted River in order to recover from his inner wounds. Nick Adams goes on a journey alone in nature for a therapeutic purpose as he suffers from PTSD. However, Hemingway purposely avoided any direct discussion regarding to Nick’s mental wounds.

horse left a large impression on the lives of the Plains Indians; however, the real question being viewed is how this animal impacted the lives of, more specifically, the Sioux, Comanche, and Apache Plains Indians. Life before the introduction of the horse was a challenge. The Sioux’s constant migration with the buffalo required long days and created the need for a tool like the horse in order to better the living standards. The Comanche Indians were extraordinary horsemen once the horse was introduced

limited to the Sioux, Blackhawks, Seminoles, Redskins, Indians, and Chiefs are all current names held by high school, college, professional, and even some youth teams in White society. Along with some teams is a comical depiction of or even a mascot that is an Indian; which further mocks Native American culture by leading participation in dances, “War-Whooping,” and misuse of symbolism.

The Round House, written by Louise Erdrich is a fictional novel that focuses on a Chippewa family in a North Dakota Indian reservation. The story is written from the perspective of a young man, Joe Coutts, who is the son of a tribal judge, Bazil Coutts, and his mother, Geraldine, who was brutally raped by a white man, Lindin Lark, in a savage act of vengeance. After this

Before reading this book, I honestly knew little about Native American. I knew that many lived on reservations, but I knew nothing about those reservations. By being brutally honest, Sherman Alexie provided incite to how the everyday life of a teenage Native American is like. This book opened my eyes to the problems that Native American’s face, that I was in the dark about before. Life on a reservation is a lot different than I would have thought it to be.

keep states from exercising authority on Indian land (180). They are an “important but often overlooked tool in the arsenal available to tribes to assert their own sovereignty against state threats” (177).

In Native American Church v. Navajo Tribal Council (1959) it was declared that Indian tribes actually have a higher status than

TWhich group would have supported this depiction of Jackson? As a result of his unfaltering decision to prevent economic nationalism, most notably seen through his war against the Bank of United States, Andrew Jackson drew a heavy amount of opposition from those in favor of a nationalized economy, who viewed him as a tyrannical leader frequently making unilateral decisions based on his personal grudges. Jackson constantly opposed the concentration of power in regards to the economy. This could be
