...The Trail of Tears As the Cherokee chief Wohali looks across his beautiful land he recalls the story of his youth and his people… A young man by the name of Chautemoc and his younger brother Wohali storm into the woods prepared to bring back a prized meal for their family a tribe known as the Cherokee. Chautemoc, urgently silencing his brother, lays his ear upon the ground listening for any sudden noises. Carefully Chautemoc raises his head and states, “Forty yards east to Owls Mountain I hear the stampering and stomping of two young deer let us make our way in that direction.” At this, the young Wohali, amazed and astonished, looked up to the face of his brother with a sense of pride in his heart. The boy, since he had grown up without a...

...Trail of Tears In “Race, Religion, and the Trail of Tears,” Patrick Minges addresses the experience Native Americans, especially the Cherokee tribe, experienced before, during, and after the Trail of Tears. Minge points out that although the Native Americans appeared different from the whole population, they were actually similar in many ways and did not deserve the harshness they received. He views the topics of religion, slavery, and the trail of tears through the eyes of different races. Minge first discusses the relationship of African Americans and Native Americans in slavery. He goes on to state how the Native Americans were similar to African Americans when it came to how they are seen by the whites, as laborers. In fact, Minges declared...

...According to the graph of the Presidential Vetoes throughout history highlights how most of the presidents like George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, John Quincy Adams, and Martin Van Buren only vetoed less than 2 times and James Madison and Andrew Jackson had the most vetoes out of all the presidents ("Presidential Vetoes." American History - The American Revolution. However, James Madison issued 7 vetoes compared to Andrew Jackson, as his vetoes aimed primarily to uphold the principle of separation of powers and preserve the integrity of the Constitution. Conversely, Jackson's use of vetoes concentrated significant power in the hands of the President, undermining the balance of power among branches of government. In summary, governing in a manner reminiscent of a monarchy and excluding other branches from decision-making illustrates how Andrew Jackson acted as a villain by disregarding the diverse perspectives within the government and asserting his own authority without consideration for alternative opinions. Moreover, Andrew Jackson was known as the "Peoples President" because of his way of governing to get what the common people desired. However, tyrannically governing unconstitutionally and choosing to veto whenever possible is labeling yourself as a leader who prioritizes personal authority over democratic principles, potentially undermining the checks and balances essential for a functioning democracy. According to the picture, "King Andrew the First"...

...• Summary: This article covered details on slavery of Indians (and Africans) in the early 18th century. Many Indian slaves were shipped to the West Indies, Amsterdam or New England and the number of Indian slaves was nearly half that of African slaves. The Cherokee slave trade was so serious that it surpassed the trade of furs and skins and became the primary source of commerce between the English and people of South Carolina. The whites realized that the ‘red-black’ population outnumbered them 4 to 1 and should an uprising occur they would be extremely outnumbered so they took steps to create hatred between the two groups. They were used against each other to quell uprisings, slave codes forbade intermarriage and ultimately the whites gave...

...In this clip, the cinematographer Conrad Hall discusses a shot from In Cold Blood where the lighting took an particularly expressive function. This shot is a particularly fine example of the expressive power of lighting. This clip is taken from the documentary Visions of Light. Herbert Clutter inspects his ranch on the morning of November 14, 1959. That same morning, on the other side of Kansas, Perry Smith meets up with Dick Hickock. While the Clutters go about their daily business, running errands and baking cherry pies, Hickock and Smith are tuning their car. After a long drive, they pull up to the Clutter home with a shotgun and knife in hand. That morning, the bodies are discovered by Susan Kidwell and another of Nancy's friends. Initially, the police are baffled. Bobby Rupp is a suspect until he passes a lie detector test. Alvin Dewey, the KBI agent in charge of the investigation, thinks that the killer must be someone close to the family. Rumor sets the small town of Holcomb on fire. Hartman's Cafe is the center of numerous theories. Meanwhile, Perry and Dick have returned to Dick's hometown of Olathe. Dick passes some hot checks, and the two flee to Mexico. Perry has always dreamed of finding sunken treasure in Mexico. While the investigation in Kansas begins to methodically follow up dead end leads, Perry and Dick spend some time entertaining a rich German tourist before they run out of money in Mexico City. While packing to return to the states, Perry goes through...

...Summary of Historical Trauma BSHS345 June 14, 2014 Chelie Safeels The Native Americans have faced extreme historical trauma for over five hundred years. This includes physical (death due to no immunity to European diseases), Emotional, Social and spiritual genocide. From 1492 when Christopher Columbus came to American, to the Spanish Conquistadors, The puritans and all those who came later to displace the Native Americans, including the trail of tears, and in the end to be locked into barren reservations. Another tragedy is the lose of most of the reservation through the court system, because oil, gas and other minerals are found on the Sovereign land. The Native American have been required through the years to adapt to the American way of life and to abandon their native culture to live in a “White Man’s World” The term trauma is Greek in origin, meaning to physically wound, disturb or pierce the corporeal boundaries (Garland, 1998;Leydesdorffet al., 1999). Sources generally define trauma according to an acute event or insult against a person’s body or culture’s psyche/traditions A lot of pain and suffering our family has going through. A lot of things that have happened to the Native American which were unjust, that were cruel, that were down right murderous, but as a culture they have survived, but most of the culture is lost to history.

...During the early 1800’s, many of the founding fathers had died and a period of transition existed with new and younger leaders who would try to shape the United States into a nation that they thought it should be in their eyes. Their decisions ultimately helped form our Nation into what it is today. One of these new leaders was President Andrew Jackson. Upon inauguration in 1829, Jackson wanted to settle the ongoing issue of the Indians and the land that they held within the states; as a result most of the energy and resources of his administration were focused on settling the dispute and moving on with the Nation. Within Jacksons first year in office he had plans to relocate the Indians to west of the Mississippi. With the relocation, Americans would be free to settle the land vacated by the Indians. Jackson’s stance on the issue is that if the Indians are not willing to adapt they had to be removed and relocated. Jackson wanted to preserve the Indian nation, however with expansion of the United States quickly approaching Indian Territory, the Indians needed to be moved instead of killed off. Ultimately this led to the Indian Removal Act of 1830. The act was written and in theory was supposed to represent a voluntary movement of the Indians and relocate them so that the white settlers could settle the farm the Indian’s fertile soil. But in reality it was to force Indian off their land and be push them further back into the interior of North America, even...

...Seminoles. In 2005 they were granted a waiver by the NCAA because of the support from the Florida Seminole Tribal Council. While many use this as a major arguing point to why these names, mascots, and symbols aren't an issue because they have the full support of the tribe, there are massive holes in this argument. The agreement to keep the name “Seminole” came from the Florida Seminole Tribal Council, out of Central Florida, who operates many luxury casinos and hotels, often branding and profiting from the Seminole name and logo. The thing is that the majority of the Seminole Nation doesn’t reside in Florida. The vast majority of the Seminole Nation resides in Oklahoma, a product of the Seminole wars, the Indian Removal Act, and The Trail of Tears, all who do not support the usage of their tribes name for team names and logos. According to an online article in The Nation by Dave Zirin, “Fans treat this much-touted agreement like they have a “racism amnesty card” in their back pocket. The approval of the Seminole Nation, they will tell you makes it all A-okay. Actually it doesn’t.” The majority of Oklahoma Seminoles who do not profit from the name, who do not live with a first world status and who did not make enough money from the name to purchase the Hard Rock Cafe for nearly 700 million dollars in 2006, strongly oppose and disagree with the decision to continue to use their tribes name to represent the university. While many people think having approval can justify the racism...

...Reflection Paper 1 Reflection Paper Reflection Paper 2 Overall Impression of Book: I feel that Anne Fadiman narrated the story of Lia Lee’s and her family’s life in intimate and tragic detail. The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down is a poignant depiction of the struggle between loving parents, hard-working medical professionals, and a very precious child caught in the middle of a tug-of-war. Ms. Fadiman very distinctly illustrates how the collision of two cultures indirectly led to the demise of a little seven- year old girl. I did not expect the story to end with Lia Lee in a persistent vegetative state. I was very excited when I first started the book, but I soon became rather depressed with the lack of compassion of people towards the Hmong in general throughout the book. I am not certain whether I am now more culturally aware now, but I was very frustrated by the lack of respect given to the Hmong by the people in the city of Merced and the doctors and nurses comments about the Lees. Three Major Themes Evident in the Book: A: Cultural Understanding An important thread running throughout this book is cultural understanding. Americans, including the medical professionals in Merced and Valley Children’s Hospital are depicted as very insensitive to the ways of the Hmong people. Anne Fadiman, while acutely aware of the physicians’ frustrations in providing medical care for those individuals with very radically...
