...People have virtuous rules, or ethics, they live their life by. The cartoon “Mascots” has kindness, the article “Who Will Save the Savior Sibling” has charity, and the excerpt from “Lather and Nothing More” has temperance. To begin, the use of Native American mascots is not appropriate virtuously because it goes against kindness. In his cartoon ”Mascots”, Phil Hands persuades caucasians to change their Native American mascots because it is insensitive to Native Americans. Native American school has caucasian mascot. The mascot in the cartoon depicts a stereotyped caucasian man to parallel how Native American mascots are used. A real caucasian mascot would insult a large number of caucasian people. Native Americans are insulted by mascots depicting...

...Native American Indians Tina Green-Burress HIS/145 November 10, 2014 Danny Scott Native American Indians There is no doubt that our history books have left out a great deal of information about American people and their lives, many black authors have tried to tell the true story of African Americans. But we must not forget American is a melting pot and Native American Indians played an important part in American history. The 1960s brought on changes for Native Indians in America and where they have come from and where they are now cannot be overlooked in American history. From the Beginning "Somewhere, these young men started the American Indian Movement. And they came to our reservation and they turned that light on inside. And it's getting bigger, now we can see things" an Oglala (ElderRedhawk (2002). The elder spoke of three men from the Minneapolis-St. Paul in 1968. The men were Dennis Banks, Clyde Bellecourt, and George Miller, and they were responsible for founding AIM (American Indian Movement). The men were an activist American Indian group concerned with the civil rights of American Indians. These three Ojibwa ex-cons were tired of the poverty and despair their fellow brothers and sisters were going through. Though Indians have always been thought of as a peaceful people, you can only get pushed so much until something is done. In the 1960s and 1970s American Indians became more aggressive with the civil rights movement taking place...

...Native Americans Throughout Thomas C Threatt Jr Ethics 125 May 4th, 2014 Jenna Schulte Native Americans Throughout * Native Americans living in the present-day United States are made up of many different distinct tribes and ethicize many of who have survive as intact political communities. Native American throughout history has had an impact on each aspect of the United States history and growth. The experiences that this group of Americans has be blight in their eyes or prosperous in others view. In their eyes they have seen, genocide, slavery, and robbery of their people from Europeans that found this native land. From the beginning when Christopher Columbus arrived in the New World in 1492. He made several trips to and from Europe and Hispaniola. By the time European settlers had started to arrive around 1500-1600, all the Native Americans living in the east of the Mississippi River part of the United States had been killed off by introducing them to new diseases from decades of exploration of European countries. Since around the end of the 1500s, the European travelers that migrated to America led to hundreds of years of adjustment and fighting Native Americans and American Colonies. As settlers started to expand west; Pilgrims and settlers began to come into disagreements with the Plains, Basin and Western Tribes. They carried out resistance against American way of life for many years after the Civil War. Indian Wars was vast in numbers until the 1900...

Mr. Ward imposed some great questions about the way we learn Native American history, but in my opinion never answered them. While I agreed with his main argument, “.. everyone involved (teachers, students and indigenous peoples) are best served when traditional American Indian authorities are regularly consulted, with regard to matters involving public presentations and interpretations of indigenous cultures.” This article still left me wanting more. There are a number of ongoing issues related to the teaching of Native American History but only offering that communication is the answer was too vague for me. I would have liked the author to go into more detail on how the educators can better obtain the information to depict the Native Americans in a way where it was not a misrepresentation. “A related question concerns problems associated with limiting access to cultural knowledge versus increased demands for open access to information.” The only Native American studies I remember from grade school is the story of Sacagawea. Why? When Native American history is essentially the first American history, why are we waiting until the college level to educate ourselves...

...The Native Americans were treated with no respect. “The term “Indian” and most other names of major Native American groups are terms of convenience applied by White Americans. In most history books, not one of the major Native American groups is recorded under its own name,” (Hall, 2011). Native Americans have different tribes and have culturally diverse groups, about over 500 tribes. Over the years, time and centuries the Native Americans have been misunderstood and mistreated, even by their own conquerors. “The European immigrants who followed Christopher Columbus did not understand the native people any more than the Native Americans comprehended their invaders,” (Hall, 2011). Columbus made a comment about the Native Americans in his diary saying, “It appears to me that the people [of the New World] are ingenious and would be good servants. . . . These people are very unskilled in arms. . . . With fifty men they could all be subjected to do all that one wishes,” (Hatchet, G. (2000). This obviously grew conflict between the Native Americans and the Whites. As for Columbus Day, each year the Native Americans protest Columbus Day. The protest includes and demonstrates the history and the importance of examining and searching for the real and true facts beyond what has been printed in text books. These protest allow Native Americans to have further investigation and discussion by historians about the actual events that took place. I think we need to have a better understanding...

...1. How do the types of choices that Edelman describes overlap with the forms of adaptation described in the reading's Culture Concepts boxes? Ethic group- Edelman describes on his trip to Poland of a chance encounter with a young man who until his father’s death never knew that he was of Jewish descent. According to Edelman this young man was not alone in his yearning to discover his identity. To have Jewish roots was “in” among Polish liberals in a country where almost no Jews remain. Edelman also found that in his hometown of Altoona, Pennsylvania, the Jewish population is substantially reduced. Friends and acquaintances with whom he had grown up with have married non-Jews and have given up their culture and religion. Jews without Judaism; Jews without culture; Jews without history; Jews at best vaguely aware of their culture, two voyages both pointing to a common image of Judaism and Jewish culture. Two path’s one leading to anti-Semitism without Jews, passing as non-Jews and disappearing and the other leads to Jewish renewal and renaissance, to community and continuity. Assimilation and Integration as forms of Adaptation- Edelman found that in Poland much of the wall graffiti is violently anti-Jewish, blaming communism and all of Poland’s ills on phantom Jews, on the ghosts of the murdered. “I heard a klezmer band playing hauntingly beautiful melodies, yet the klezmer band had no Jewish members.” “Jewish culture, burned alive in Auschwitz and Treblinka.” Edelman notes:...

...Running Head: Native American Cultural Native American Cultural Impact on Healthcare Sherry Phillips Grand Canyon University NUR-502 March 25, 2015 Native American Cultural Impact on Healthcare Culture plays a unique and significant role going to healthcare process. Each culture has their own belief systems and values. Native American make up 1% of the population in the United States ("Diversity: Understanding and Teaching Diverse Students," n.d.). Understanding their system of beliefs and values would help to benefit Native American women during the prenatal care. When nurses become culturally competent in their care, not only do the patients benefit but the healthcare system does as well. It is important to understanding the Native American culture in order to facilitate their healthcare. Summary of Article One article that discussed Native American women and their prenatal care is “Living in Two Worlds: Native American Women and Prenatal Care.” This article discusses a study that looked at traditional practices related to pregnancy and compare them to current practices related to prenatal care. The review of literature look at barriers to prenatal care that resulted from conflicts between traditional practices and Western Medicine (Long & Curry, 1998). Focus groups were held to look at exploring traditional beliefs and ways to improve prenatal care (Long & Curry, 1998). The authors chose the focus groups from two sites in Oregon (Long...

...American “history” is riddled with bits of myth and folklore. Some of the fictions are obvious, like the old tale, “George Washington never told a lie”. The reality or fallacy of others, however, remains shrouded. Take, for example, the story of the Pilgrims. The legend goes something like this: In 1620, the Mayflower landed at Plymouth Rock, and in 1621, the Pilgrims were met by a local native named Squanto. This native, who spoke English, taught the settlers to plant corn and to fertilize it with fish. This paper will focus on the validity of that last assertion: the Native communities of New England were in the practice of using fish fertilizer. This assertion was largely accepted as fact until Lynn Ceci, then a graduate student in Anthropology, published a paper in 1975 debunking the idea. Her paper, “Fish Fertilizer: A Native North American Practice”, claimed to gather new historical and anthropological evidence arguing that the use of fertilizer was originally a European practice, not in “the manner of the Indians”. While the academic community largely celebrated this new “truth”, Ceci’s paper also inspired a number of rebuttals, notably Nanepashmet’s, “It Smells Fishy to Me: An Argument Supporting the Use of Fish Fertilizer by the Native People of Southern New England”. In this paper, I will not only examine the merits and limitations of both Ceci’s paper and Nanepashmet’s rebuttal, but I will also assess the role of cultural and academic values in each interpretation...

...not mean that the traditions of the past are forgotten. On the contrary, the traditions are what make up the individual’s core. Heritage, by definition, are traditions, achievements, and beliefs that are part of a history of a group or nation (Merriam-Webster, 2015). The heritage assessment tool is used to have a better understanding of people and family members and how to better help them. The heritage assessment tool was used to assess three different people on their culture, traditions, religious affiliations and languages that are used in their family. The cultures that were featured in the interviews are Filipino-American, German American and Native-American. The heritage tool is used to gauge the needs of the family and develop plans for health maintenance, health protection, and health restoration.

...The author explains the accusation of premeditation with the reasoning that the natives did wait until as soon as the Spanish were divided to unleash an attack. Analyze: The speaker’s audience would likely be other Europeans who spoke his Spanish language. This led to his choice of highlighting the details that made the Spanish sound defenseless and the natives to sound like bloodthirsty savages, though there clearly had to be more to the story that the author chose to leave out. Evaluate: The speaker may have left out details that showed the Spanish causing fair reason for the natives’ attacking them, such as unreasonable behavior or provocation. He either overlooked details of his own sides’ faults, or chose to exclude them merely for self-preservation.

...mask. I chose this piece because just looking at it makes you wonder what all images it can produce. In the reading it states that the mask can change images by pulling on different strings located on it. The bright colors and shapes also attracted me to it. The frowning face, that represents the inside of the mask is quite unusual, it does directly depict an actual likeness of a face, and the outer parts look like the frame of the face. The book makes reference to the Kwakiutl people lived on the Vancouver Island, trading and warring with each other and their neighbors. But they produced great artwork like the mask which were used in Shaman ceremonies, and totem poles. The Kwakiutl are famed for their transformation masks. These massive American masks, up to eight feet long, are based around an animal form and open up during the ceremony to reveal an inner human character. This method links the human, animal and spiritual aspects of life. The winter period, called Tsetseka, meaning good humor, was used by the Kwakiutl as a time for celebrating. They believed that the spirits who had been at large in the world returned to the village to capture certain members of the population. The dances were often connected with the initiation of novices. Possessed by wild spirits the novices would disappear into the woods to be given the ancestral rites and then reappear as fully fledged members of the society. The spirit which possessed them was Bakbakwalanooksiwae (Cannibal at the north end...

...The word "holiday" literally translates to "holy day", because mainly holidays are celebrated for religious purposes, but most American holidays are not religious. Many holiday's are just traditions from America's rich ethnic history. Some holidays are also celebrated for certain important people in American history, people like Christopher Columbus. In 1905, Colorado became the first state to observe a Columbus Day, and over the next few decades other states followed. In 1937, President Franklin Roosevelt announced every October 12 as Columbus Day. Since 1971, it has been celebrated on the second Monday in October. Columbus Day commemorates the landing of Christopher Columbus in the New World on October 12, 1492. Columbus was believed...
