    John G. Neihardt's Black Elk Speaks

    Neihardt’s Black Elk Speaks. Neihardt claims to authentically give voice to Black Elk of the Oglala Sioux. However, as Martin reveals, the work actually “gives a highly selective and romantic vision of the man and his religious life” (679). DeMaillie’s annotations in the Premier Edition of Neihardt’s work show that the poetic descriptions of Black Elk’s speech are framed by the author’s biased desire to present an image of the poor, deprived Indian. This is evident when Neihardt includes Black Elk’s discourse as, “you see me now a pitiful old man who has done nothing, for the nation’s hoop is broken and scattered,” for which Demallie reveals is “Neihardt’s summary” (218). Such distorted interpretations of the deprived Native American spread throughout the United States in the 1960s and 1970s when “the book exploded into surprising popularity” (Preface to the 1972 Edition). Therefore, the biases of an author writing history have the potential to influence society on a great scale, reinforcing false images that erode difference and erase agency of diverse groups of…

    A Comparative Analysis of Quentin Blake’s ‘the Bfg’ and Sara Fanelli’s “Wolf”

    Sara Fanellis illustration of the ‘Wolf’ shows a very franticly drawn wolf (resembling Ed Korens scratchy cartoon creatures) (Heller, S, 2001) on a bright yellow background. He has random lines of red and black in his fur coat alongside paper cut claws and red eyes with pasted on eyebrows. He is wearing odd shoes, one an orangey red, the other a very soft turquoise. The wolf is giving a pair of red glasses to what appears to be an old woman in a blue polka dotted dress.…

    The Destruction of Black Elk

    John Neihardt writes this biography because Black Elk came to him with the purpose of showing Americans both physical and emotional pain they’ve inflicted on them in desire to expand the United States. This biography isn’t only for sorrow; it’s of great appreciation to the Native Americans because this is the first of their stories that is actually being documented. Having written by a white man is of great importance because through this biography the readers see that Black Elk is hostile toward white men.…

    Kiowa Culture

    ne of the common features found in the literature about Native American folklores is that it exhibits a big and rapid influence by the dominant culture which results in the discontinuity between old and new, mostly the latter selected over the former. This book’s chapters except for the prologue and epilogue each chapter is consisted of three voices: folktale narrative, historical, and modern personal feelings. The author seems to model via this format how in Kiowa people’s conscience the time and space work and how they view the discord between the enriched past and nihilistic present for them, as seen in the different tones. This book explains how the mixing of culture during their history has molded Kiowa’s contrasting views towards the…

    Black Elk Dream

    “And so it was all over. I did not know then how much was ended. When I look back now from this high hill of my old age, I can see the butchered women and children lying heaped and scattered all along the crooked gulch as plain as when I saw them with eyes still young. And I can see that something else died there in the bloody mud, and was buried in the blizzard. A people’s dream died there. It was a beautiful dream.” (218) These were the words that Black Elk spoke of the dream that he and his people had of a country where they were allowed to live free and happy as they had before the white men invaded their territory. The Indians that Black Elk encountered in his lifetime all had only a simple dream to be able to live as they pleased. They…

    It’s hard to say why Taylor didn’t add the Native women in the painting but I think that Taylor was not at this event so he knows not what actually happened in the event of the treaty signing, unlike Wolf who was there. I think this omission was deliberate due to cultural bias because, I think back then white people felt they had the power to everything and looked down upon any other culture that wasn’t their own so for Taylor I think to have not painted the women in was because of their culture and because they were indeed woman and I think back then women weren’t created equal and with Wolf’s painting women had an importance in their society. Looking at both…

    Indigenous Peoples Day Reflective Report

    The workshop consisted of a hands-on communal engagement exercise and discussion, regarding the oppression of the Native American people. Initially, when the event began I was incredibly nervous about being within a room of people whom I didn’t know. When I saw the different colored cards being passed out, I found myself both intrigued and slightly skeptical. The readers around the room began to share the side of history that had been rarely told when I was a young girl. The history covered the genocide of the native people through war, disease, and forced travel from their original lands to the reservations. This particular workshop is able to place you in the position that the Native American people were placed in. The dramatic effect caused by the combination of the readings and the blanket closing in on the remaining group of “survivors” had quite a powerful result. Before going to this event, I lacked knowledge about their history and culture. Growing up the…

    Archibald John Motley, Jr.: Issues of Race

    The 1925 portrait, The Octoroon Girl, and 1922 's Octoroon, are two of several portraits painted of mulatto women by Motley. They possess a dignified air, distinguished dress, and have very attractive European facial features. They are certainly not representative of the African American majority—part of the exception not the ‘rule '. These paintings serve as documentation of two specific things: America 's history of miscegenation, and obsession with race. Motley 's personal fixation with skin color, linked to issues of class and decent, never strayed far from his artwork. Motley shows this in his 1920 Self Portrait, where his "frank and direct gaze, his highlighted forehead, and his ‘aristocratic ' emphasized nose," are evidence of, "his physiognomic association of class with physical features" (Leath, 4). However, as Patton makes clear, Motley 's images "of fair-skinned women in middle-class settings denoting affluence, education and cosmopolitanism, were a visual rebuttal to the popular media images of the ‘mammy ' or the ‘jezebel ' of black American women which continued to hold a place in the minds of the majority of Americans" (Patton, 123).…

    The reason why I picked the way I communicated my message is because it is the easiest way to communicate a message to a large group of people. Using power point slide show can be easy because it can keep the presenter organize and on scheduled as far as getting a message across. Each slide goes in order, as you want to talk to your group of people. For me my message is talking about the achievements of my dental clinic has made in the past year. With the power point speech notes at the bottom of each slide it can keep me on point, and able to communicate my message. With the first slide it’s a simple welcome, and opening remarks. It’s a way to break the ice, and to welcome any distinguish guess that might have came for the power point presentation. Also, it’s a way to get into the presentation, and if I wanted to I could have had a funny comment to get people into the message its self. The second page is really getting into the information, and really showing the achievements that the clinic has made. That’s the over all message I’m trying to get across is that our clinic has been able to see not only mobilizing soldiers, de-mobilizing soldiers, and our normal population we are suppose to see at that clinic. Now along with all that the clinic has been able to keep their failed appointments down, and have set new trends that dencom has started to follow. This right here is a big achievement that has been made by our clinic. We see exams, and if a patient can be seen for a cleaning the same day we will see them the same day. By doing this we can cut down on appointment times, and the number of appointments that have to be seen. By doing this patients don’t have to remember so many different appointments. Dencom has decided to follow this same idea, and apply it to all dental clinics in the Army. This is one of the biggest achievements that the Army could recognize our clinic…

    Philosophy of Literacy

    One thing I will never forget in my Life is the miles I walked to School. I can still remember those muddy and dusty roads I walked just to get to School. Sometimes I have to Stay all day without food and water not just because I wasn’t hungry or thirsty but because my parents had no money to buy them. I did not only walk to school but I did walk without shoes or slippers on. Walking was very normal because we had no cars. There was absolutely no means of transportation. I was just 4 years old when I started walking to School. I had always admired my teachers and all the people who could read and write. I just loved the way they talked to people. I enjoyed listening to them. School to me was a source of Hope that my life will change and it did changed my life. Without me going to school, I would have still been in Africa or may be dead. I was able to get a scholarship from Africa through my school to the United States and here am I living the dreams of my life. So if I can walk about 6 miles on those muddy and dusty roads just to get to school each day, anyone can go to School if they really want to.…

    What Is Visual Literacy?

    The American Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL, 2011) stated that visual literacy is a set of abilities that enables an individual to effectively find, interpret, evaluate, use, create images and visual media. These skills equip a learner to understand and analyze the contextual, cultural, ethical, aesthetic, intellectual, and technical components involved in the production and use of visual materials. ACRL, (2011) also stated that a visually literate individual is both a critical consumer of visual media and a competent contributor to a body of shared knowledge and culture. The ACRL, (2011) was able to determine twenty four (24) performance indicators in visual literacy. It stated that visually literate student determines…

    A Rhetorical Analysis Of Chief Seattle's 1854 Oration

    For instance, “shinning pine needles,’ “humming insects,” and perfumed flowers” which represents the sisters; “the deer, the horse, the great eagle, these are brothers.” His word tones reflect the sadness Chief Seattle focused on what he was losing was precious to him –everything in his memory, his brothers. “So we will consider your offer to buy our land. If we decide to accept, I will make one condition—the white man must treat the beasts of this land as his brother.” He did this because he wanted to draw the audience on the beauty and heritage of the…
