Mountain Wolf Woman Paper

This paper will prove how an American Indian Woman’s life is different than what we thought. The American Indian way of life placed women in a lower social class in the society than a white woman. Women did not have rights to choose their marriage partner or make important decisions concerning the family or the society. They had to conform to the decisions made by the males, the superior gender, and the decisions that promoted the cultural beliefs of their society. For instance, they had to conform to the economic needs of their marriages once they reached the puberty age. On most cases, the society excluded women from making important decisions concerning their lives or …show more content…

She was the youngest and belonged to her father’s thunder clan in her family. However, changing her of name transferred her clan rights to the wolf clan. Her society considered her new clan to be wealthy and holy since it had many healers. During her infantry age, she suffered from a contagious illness, and her mother took her to a medicine woman to seek medical attention. Her mother figuratively gave her to the medicine woman despite the fact that she would remain with the child. The medicine woman added the protection of the wolf clan to the little girl since she had felt worthy of receiving the child. Therefore, the child lost the spirit of her native thunder clan and acquired the spirit of the wolf clan. As a matter of facts, she had to change her name to that of the wolf …show more content…

The story depicts a transition that women of the twentieth century had to undergo to find their position in the society today. At first, she seemed to follow the cultural norms and practices especially when she got married to her first husband. However, she was not happy with the marriage since her mother had initially told her that she was free to get married to the husband of her choice. Therefore, she knew that she was free to make a decision concerning her marriage. As a result, she courageously abandoned her marital roles and embraced community service. Not many women would take such a role during her time. As a matter of facts, the wolf woman never subjected herself to the needs and demands of the society. Instead, she did whatever she felt was right. She went ahead to oppose the traditional religious practices that were also common in her community. Instead, she embraced a religion that was spiritually pleasing and satisfying to her

    1750 Words  | 7 Pages

    Sixty years after the extirpation of wolves in the Northern Rockies and Great Plains of America, biologist and ecologist in Yellowstone National Park reintroduced wolves into a declining ecosystem that once thrived during their presence. The reintroduction brought immense controversy into the West and continues to stir outrage among anti-wolf groups. These anti-wolf supporters argue wolves are ruthless predators that cause destruction to natural environments and livestock. Conversely wolf advocates and scientists suggest that wolves are a keystone species that are essential to the natural regulation of our Western ecosystems.

    While most modern Americans are most familiar with the gray wolf, when Europeans first colonized the New World, the red wolf was likely the first wolf species that they came in contact with. Moreover, since the red wolf was the first wolf species that the colonists came into contact with, it was also the first to be persecuted (Hinton et al.). The consequences of this first interaction have ricochet across history as the red wolf was hunted to extinction in 1980. Even now, after extensive interventions to breed the wolves in captivity and reintroduce them, the red wolf is till an endangered species (“Red Wolf” 2017).

  • Pros And Cons Of Native American Women

    Native American Women: Economic and Political Mores “That all these women be shared among the men, that no individual woman and man should live together, and that the children, too, should be shared, with no parent knowing its own offspring, and no child its parent”(147 Plato) Up until approximately 400 BC, it was inferred that women should have the basic political, principle rights men do. In Minnesota, there is evidence and examples of how the tribes such as the Ojibwas dealt with and were influenced by some of the actions that took place. The Indians were forced deeper into dependency, women treated disrespectfully, and exploitation was taking place at a rapid pace. Because of the changes that took place from the invasion of European settlers,

  • Gender Roles In Native Americans

    728 Words  | 3 Pages

    Although Native Americans are characterized as both civilized and uncivilized in module one readings, their lifestyles and culture are observed to be civilized more often than not. The separate and distinct duties of men and women (Sigard, 1632) reveal a society that has defined roles and expectations based on gender. There are customs related to courtship (Le Clercq, 1691) that are similar to European cultures. Marriage was a recognized union amongst Native Americans, although not necessarily viewed as a serious, lifelong commitment like the Europeans (Heckewelder, 1819). Related to gender roles in Native American culture, Sigard writes of the Huron people that “Just as the men have their special occupation and understand wherein a man’s duty consists, so also the women and girls keep their place and perform quietly their little tasks and functions of service”.

    696 Words  | 3 Pages

    In Justice, Gender, and the Family, Susan Moller Okin presents a critique of modern theories of justice. She claims that these theorists make fatal assumptions regarding justice in the family. For example, she claims that John Rawls assumes that a family is inherently just and fails to consider how gender fits into the original position and veil of ignorance. He neglects the difference of opportunity in the family and the way that gender has a role as the primary school for justice. Okin believes that women must be included to create a satisfactory theory of justice that remedies the modern inequalities that we still see in families today.
