    The Cowlitz Indian Tribe is trying to build a multi-million dollar mega-casino in Clark Country where some tribal members are challenging their own leaders’ right to run the project of the new casino. This brings us to a major question of, which policy should the Cowlitz Indian tribe adopt in determining who is a full member of their tribe? After analysis data we discovered that this policy will ultimately determine who has a right to become a director of the proposed casino, who has a right to a share of any projected casino profits, and who is entitled to other benefits of tribal membership. This became a very important problem because the blood quantum ultimately determine who will be entitled to share any future casino proceeds and other tribal benefits such as subsidized housing or monetary compensation. It could also help determine who is eligible to be a tribal council member, which is central to this case as they are the ones who will likely direct the operations of the new multi-million dollar casino.…

The environment was very diverse and often extreme which included a rugged strip of land with small islands, deep inlets, inland rivers and lakes, deep fjords, and wide and narrow beaches.

    Perched upon stumps, telling stories by the fire, day fades into dawn. As the fire burns on the sound of drums pierce the ears of all around it. This is the life of the Chippewa tribe. The Chippewa tribe, also known as Ojibway Indians (Web), was created by the Algonquian people. In the early years, the Algonquian people maintained different tribes and cultures. They also traveled throughout the Great Lakes from place to place to find more efficient resources (Ditchfield 6). In the 1600s, the Chippewa tribe and its people, the Chippewas, became one of the largest and most efficient tribes in North America (7). The Chippewas called themselves the Anishnabe which means the first people because of their Indian heritage (8). The lives of the Chippewas…

    There are three geographical-linguistic groups, but when they’re looked at as a collective, they’re known as Blackfoot. The term Blackfoot is most likely coined due to the practice of coloring their moccasins with ashes. The three groups got together only during ceremonies. The Blackfoot were known as one of the most aggressive groups in North America because when they fought, it was typically raiding enemies for horses or just getting revenge. Their homes were usually made out of bison hide which was supported by poles. During the summer, they lived in big camps where they engaged in activities such as the Sun Dance. In the winter they separated into groups of of 10-20 families. There were multiple leaders, but only one…

    Located near the Oregon and California border, and comprised of three historically separate tribes: the Klamath, Modoc, and Yahooskin. The Klamath Tribes have inhabited the Klamath River Basin for thousands of years, with lifestyles and heritage revolving around the natural resources of the area.

    Did you know that the Shawnee Indian tribe is a fascinating tribe? I recently have learned that they are nomads. Nomads are people who travel instead of settling in one place. Southern Ohio, West Virginia, and western Pennsylvania were a couple of states they once lived in. Until around 1660 Iroquois drove out the tribe to southern Carolina, Tennessee’s Cumberland basin, eastern Pennsylvania, and southern Illinois. They had tried to return, but again they were forced to leave by American settlers. The settlers pushed them first to Missouri and then to Kansas, but the Shawnee people settled in Oklahoma after the Civil War.…
