    Morals and values are passed down and taught to one through traditions, customs, and beliefs. However as these traditions, customs, and beliefs are passed down they are altered through each generation. Native americans and other cultures lose a bit of themselves every year through the influence of western culture. Western culture not only influences traditions and customs but also devalues the importance of the cultures. Through the ignorance of today’s American society that we live in, the respect held for Native Americans and other cultures are fading day-by-day disrespecting them through selfish benefits. However, disregarding the loss of culture through the western culture, Native Americans put the effort to preserve…

    1. This is false characterization because several tribes of Native Americans, such as the Incas and the Mayas, constructed complex political and agricultural systems; as well as developing their own written language and numerical system. Although some lesser known tribes of Native Americans were indeed nomadic, such as the Aztecs, by the time the Europeans had settled nomadic tribes were scarce.…

    The relation between the early colonists and Native-American Indians through American settlers and Native-Americans changed so drastically due to many tragic factors. Although the biggest factor would have to be that the settlers saw the Native-Americans as savages and felt that they needed to alter their cultural ways to the European ways. The Sand Creek massacre and the Battle of Little Bighorn were two events that greatly affected the relations among the settlers and the Native Americans. These are only some of the numerous events that caused tension in the relationship between the American settlers and the Native-Americans.…

    One take-away from Native American Perspectives that helped me understand Native American history more was the idea of regimes of truth from French philosopher Michel Foucault. This idea was vital in understanding Native American and settler colonial relations. Foucault said, “Truth is a thing of this world: it is produced only by a virtue of multiple forms of constraint. And it induces regular effects of power. Each society has its regime of truth, its “general politics” of truth: that is, the types of discourse which it accepts and makes function as true; the mechanisms and instances which enable one to distinguish true and false statements, the means by which each is sanctioned; the techniques and procedures accorded value in the acquisition…

    The Government had agreed to deal with the Natives through "formal treaties", but a lot of changes were made as the government erased and redrew treaty line after treaty line, making their way more towards West. However, many Americans felt respect towards the Indians. They wanted them to be part of their society so they tried to Christianize them, civilize them, gave them the chance to attain literacy. Some Tribes resisted and some followed, especially the "Five Civilized Tribes"-which included the Seminoles, Cherokee, Creeks, Choctaw, and the Chickasaw. The Native Americans related to these tribes went to school, learned about agriculture, owned private property, and even owned black slaves. They became very open to the idea of joining the…

    Between 1887 and 1933, the U.S. government was assimilating the Natives of our country into mainstream society. At that time, it was considered a mission and was acceptable compared to today’s standards of racism and prejudice. It was effort by the United States to force the natives from being “savages” and “uncivilized” to being able to function in society. They were required to become the average American or as much as possible. The primary tool use for assimilation was the boarding schools where children would be taken from their homes and kept away from their families for very long amounts of time. They were forced to convert to Christianity, wear the “American” attire, learn English, and live as an independent American would. They came…

    American colonists and the Native Americans of North America encountered a difficult relationship with one another. American colonists began to view the vast expanse of lands controlled by Native Americans as desirable and could now use Natives to acquire land for development. As the rapidly growing United States began to move towards the South, white settlers were confronted by the Indian nations, which became an obstacle in the way of their plight to acquire land to grow cotton and crops. In order to effectively deal with this obstacle, the United States government devised four options that would define its Indian policy: extermination, move them to enclaves with protection and build around them, attempt to assimilate Native Americans into a more Anglo-American lifestyle, or uproot and move them into inhospitable and unwanted land referred to as Indian Territory west of the Mississippi River. The option of transporting the natives to lands west of the Mississippi river was favored one.…

    This paper addresses a question that for some reason has received relatively less attention of psychologists. The question relates to how do persons who enter an organization with a different cultural mindset deal with the roles and fellow colleagues in work settings (in this case, academic work setting) of a diametrically different mindset. To my knowledge, studies on acculturation too have left this question unanswered, although, their major focus has been on contacts between cultures. It is in this context that I find this study quite welcome. The study focuses on the tribal world view of the Native American academics which is characterized…

    Long before the United States became a nation in the Americas, Empires had risen and fallen, tribes had made their homes, and of course, established their culture. As foreigners settled their “new world,” Native people were pushed away from the homes they had long since known. Going back much farther back than this however, there were other foreigners, that came not from the sea, but from the land, from the north. Most likely coming in waves through the Bering Strait from East Asia and Russia. Such ancient cultural ties; shared history, religion, land, and especially languages, are instrumental in retaining strong identity. With these connections being threatened by cultural suppression and an unfriendly, changing world, tribal identity is…

    What do you think of when you hear the word Native American? And what do you think of when you hear the word education? Probably two very clear and distinct images. But what do you think of when you hear Native American education? Unless you are a Native American, presumably that phrase means nothing to you. But shouldn't the education of US citizens be relevant to the government? Yes, and especially when there are plenty of treaties and government agencies that have established the government's role in Native American education. But somehow the US government has been neglecting the education system on reservations for decades, just like they did to their ancestors and their land centuries ago. The importance of education, problems on the reservation…
