Assimilating To Alleviate Problems For Canada's Native Peoples: Argument Against
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. Since the Puritans first stepped foot onto North America, relations between indigenous peoples and the forceful newcomers have been strained to say the least. The problems of Canada's native peoples illustrate similar struggles faced by other indigenous North American populations whose primary objective is to maintain their heritage in the face of overwhelming cultural challenges. Clearly, the proposition that claims assimilation is the best strategy to alleviate the problem of Canada's native peoples is nothing more than a veiled attempt to infiltrate existing cultures so that they adequately blend with the rest of Canadian society. In short, to encourage assimilation would be to advocate the quest for control. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Black Elk Speaks
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper which discusses the book "Black Elk Speaks: Being
the Life Story of a Holy Man of the Oglala Sioux," translated and published by John
Neihardt, and argues that it is a tale of how the his tribe, and perhaps all Native American
Tribes, lost much of what was precious to them. We examine the fact that the death of
their power and way of life could have been caused by the arrival of the White man, but
that it could also have been for reasons unknown as of yet, which is, in many ways, what
Black Elk seems to be saying. The White man, therefor, was only a tool that helped
destroy the way of life and the power of the Native peoples. No additional sources cited.
