    Tompson Highways play, The Rez Sisters, illustrates the various challenges Native Canadians face within today’s society. The audience and readers of the play are able to learn and understand the numerous problems which exist on the Reserve including poverty, gambling, abuse and addiction. Perhaps one of the bigger challenges found however, is within each of the individual characters. There is a loss of identity which in turn, diminishes one’s tradition, language and culture. Identity is how you view yourself and your life.

  • Changes In The Land William Cronon Summary

    1677 Words  | 7 Pages

    The lens of Changes in the Land focuses on the Indians and how “their ability to move about the landscape” (Cronon 159), had been “severely constrained” by the actions of the Europeans, and how their life was affected by the settlement. The lens of Experiencing History: Interpreting America’s Past is one that speaks greatly of the Europeans and their life and their struggles and their point of view. This is specifically evident when the textbook speaks of “communities in conflict” (page 89), and how it spotlights the issues pertaining to the colonists. Another area where the textbook and Changes in the Land don’t align is the portrayal of the settlers and the way that they view and act on the land of New England.

This may be new information to the reader and provides historical difference of the real Pocahontas from the Hollywood version while strengthening Townsend’s argument. Also, the author does not use challenging language in her own writing. She keeps her own wording basic as to give the readers a break from the difficultness of the old language. Another positive aspect of this book is the notes section and the preface.

  • A Narrative Of The Captivity And Restoration Mary Rowlandson Essay

    909 Words  | 4 Pages

    Throughout Mary Rowlandson’s “A Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration,” Rowlandson repeatedly makes mention to the idea of Puritan dominance over Native Americans. Rowlandson exemplifies this through the use of harsh diction, imagery, and biblical allusions. Rowlandson employs these methods in order to create a chasm between her people, the Puritans, and her captors, the Native Americans. Throughout the text, Rowlandson paints the Puritan community as “God’s chosen people,” justifying their forceful taking of Native land that lead to the onset of King Philip’s war. Ironically, many of Rowlandson’s techniques unintentionally portray her as more savage and immoral than her Native captors.

Annabel began to link the Anglo-Saxon culture with American culture. She transcribed how courage and recklessness coordinated with volunteerism, warrior aristocracy paired with action and achievement oriented, and how loyalty harmonized with equality.

  • Protection And Unequal Alliance Summary

    However, the article fails to maintain a systematic approach to explaining the events that led to the conception of sovereignty over Indians. In other words, Havard tends to refer to dates that do not follow a chronological order; instead he jumps decades from early 1600 to mid 1700 than refers back to early 1600 dates. What occurs is a confusing timeline that is both difficult to read and to follow. Moreover, Havard rarely goes in to depth about social themes and fails to explain their meaning within context of the narrative. For instance, there is a heavy use of French terms throughout the article, with very little definition for what it represents.

    Nevertheless, one that caught my attention was the fact that Indian attacks increased throughout the years 1607 through 1610. According to Document E, “6 ships bring some 250 people (3rd Supply) Of 120 men stationed near the falls, the Indians kill ‘neere halfe’ “. Basically, the relation between the colonists and Indians declined during the “Starving Time”. For this reason, the settlers were heavily starving and wanted lots of food from the Natives, in order to feed everybody, so the population would avoid reducing. I interpret this to mean both groups went through harsh circumstances, but didn’t have compassion for one another, because they were violent.
