588 Words3 Pages

In this weeks case study on the Osoyoos Indian Band and Application of Okanagan Leadership Principles, I have chosen to speak about the four topics of leadership, role models, the ways meetings have evolved, and engagement within the indigenous community. As a Navajo Nation and Sisseton-Wahpeton Dakota member, I grew up mostly in or around the reservation. I have experienced the troubles that many citizens have such as poverty, substance abuse, and unemployment. Therefore, making connections to points made by Ethan Baptiste in this case study was not challenging. The first connection I would like to make is that leadership represented in this case study is presented in the chief, it says that they put they the people before themselves, even before themselves. I believe this idea because when I want to go to college, I want to go so I can come back to reservation and help the Native communities.

The children from the community looked up to the chiefs and he was their role model. This is important because it ties in with one of the foundations in tribal governance and what thought to be important. There is a dramatic difference between American government leaders and tribal governance leaders. I believe that government leaders strive to be good role models for the young citizens of our country and this could be true. However, there is an absence of relatableness. With chiefs, they understood their people because they recognized the issues present in their lives. Compared to American governance leaders, they look over a large mass of people and with that, it is more difficult to do this. That is why I believe having chapter house leaders and other leadership roles to govern smaller groups of people is a good

    If your family is starving but the laws told you that you cannot go out and get food, what do you do? A similar question was running circles in Tommy Pikok Sr. and John Nusunginya’s head when the law told him he could not provide food for his family. In 1961 the Duck-In began when the Migratory Bird Treaty was signed. This treaty outlawed hunting from March to September when the birds were only available for harvest in Alaska. As a result, the hungry Iñupiaq people in Barrow decided to pay no mind to the law and protested.

    These issues can still improve through cooperation and understanding, however, and reaching a satisfactory decision about the Dakota Access Pipeline provides a perfect gateway to uplifting improvement of the reservations’ lifestyle. If the government agrees to give a little, a great opportunity arises for them to get a little as well. In the last decades, lack of funding has led to blatantly subpar education for the majority of Native American students, even when the government made an attempt to intervene due to an understandable inherent distrust of Government interference. Through a monumental compromise via the Dakota Access Pipeline, the government could prove its decency, transparency, and trustworthiness, which would advance the relationship of Native Americans and the United States Government brilliantly. The newfound trust could easily apply to areas such as financial welfare, educational support, and government-run health clinics.

Merrell’s “The Indians’ New World,” the initial encounters and relationships between various Native American tribes and Europeans and their African American slaves are explained; based on Merrell’s argument that after the arrival of Europeans to North America in 1492, not only would the Europeans’ lives drastically change, but a new world would be created for the Native Americans’ as their communities and lifestyles slowly intertwined for better or worse. Examples of these changes include: “deadly bacteria, material riches, and [invading] alien people.” (Merrell 53)

As a result of rising tensions between the Shawnees and the Americans, it lead to a costly culmination of battles in order to claim Ohio land and westward expansion. Tecumseh’s legacy lives on and he is remembered for his leadership and courage to take on the Americans.

To understand Parker’s role as the chief of the Comanche people, it is imperative to comprehend the aspects of a “cultural broker”.
