    Thomas King uses Satire in his short story,“A Short History Of Indians In Canada ” to convey the theme of dehumanization of Aboriginal people in Canada, by depicting them as animals that are reliant on white people, while it may be a creative for king to express his arguments through, it’s an inappropriate to use humor, and parody depicting aboriginal people while knowing the treatment they have endured by European settlers, King ideas would have been presented more powerful than satire, because there would not be a need to depict the Aboriginal people as birds by their culture and identity, convey the voices of Aboriginal people rather than White people, and explain discrimination against Aboriginal rather than describing them as animals that need to be helped…

    The United States v. Sioux Nation of Indians was a case that was decided in the Supreme Court in 1980, but really goes back to the events surrounding the Fort Laramine Treaty of 1868. The events that led up to the Sioux Nation pursuing legal action can pretty much be summarized as the United States government using their military power and governmental law as a means to wrongfully and/or immorally take away land that was promised to the Sioux Nation in the Fort Laramine Treaty of 1868. The treaty stated that the Great Sioux reservation, including the Black hills, would be “set apart for the absolute and undisturbed use and occupation" of the Sioux Nation (Sioux), and that no treaty for the cession of any part of the reservation would be valid…

    The native American Standing Rock Sioux Tribe has a legitimate concern. These particular grounds have been under their influence for hundreds of years. This tribe along with many other have the right to express their concern. It is not uncommon for Native American tribes to live off land immediately within their proximity. If the water was to be contaminated it would have dire consequences for this tribe and many others. It would probably be safe to assume many burial sites and locations of worship would be disturbed as well. Any self-respecting corporations would recognize this dilemma immediately and take the appropriate actions to mitigate collateral damage, public scrutiny and most the degradation of a prideful…
