Powwows.com
The Powwows.com is a platform to serve both the native American folks and the general public who are interested in this tradition. That is because as I negative through the website, I noticed some unique sections, like the news and forums, that attempt to keep native American tribes in touch as well as bringing them together. On the other hand, there are general sections, like the “Native American information” section and the multimedia sections, that serve as an education tool for the non-native audience. I personally believe that every section provides valuable information and insight to the two groups I mentioned before.
This website fits the Powwows tradition very well. That is because the Powwows is all about gathering people in one place to represent the values of the native American and its different aspects including music, beliefs and art. Actually, that is what the Powwows.com is accomplishing. The website provides different means of connecting and meeting with people like the calendar, forums, blog. Therefore, it is fitting the tradition of the Powwows.
I believe that the traditional elements are the ones that directly represent the exceptional aspects of the Powwows. These elements are the photos, videos and music. The

These two sections are the calendar and photos section. The calendar section is categorized based on state, month and year. The poster for each Powwows event is well designed. The use of digital designing makes these events appealing to a wide range of people. In addition, every Powwows event is well accompanied with enough information, including dates, place, location and contract information. I personally believe that the calendar section represents a huge part of the native American culture of always wanting to keep a continued and strong relationship with each
I compare the two tribe is Powhatan and Navajo. Powhatan formed powerful tribes of eastern North American and they worship animal spirits , especially the great hare.

We had these. Then we were not savages, but a civilized race”. (Loewen 100) The Native Americans argued with this organization to fend for themselves and thought the Native Americans should get the same amount of recognition for having the same characteristics of those of the
A perfect example of these Apaches was the Mescalero Apaches which helped the American military achieve its goals during the war. The devotion and commitment that the Native Americans showcases paints the image of a community that overlooked past resentments and disappointments. They would have opted to count themselves as a minority group but instead approached the battleground in full force. It is this evident that the Native Americans understood the benefits of defending one’s own land in times of crisis. When the Pearl Harbor was attacked, a population of 5,000 Native Americans was active in the battleground.
Happy new year, happy valentines day, happy easter, happy porrum, happy Columbus Day? The day Christopher Columbus first landed in America in 1492 is not a day one should really celebrate. This time in History did mark a major change in the world globally and historically, however it is important to veiw all sides of the story. Many grow-up learning all about ‘the amazing explorer’ who found America, but that isn’t nearly the whole truth. This being said, celebrating the second monday of October as Indigenous peoples day would be like forgetting and pushing aside parts of the story just to honor the better side.
National Youth Administration The National Youth Administration (NYA) was a New Deal agency sponsored by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the United States that focused on providing work and education for Americans between the ages of 16 and 25 (Williams, 1937). The NYA was headed by Aubrey Willis Williams and it operated from June 26, 1935 to 1939 as part of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) (Williams, 1937). The NYA operated several programs for out of school youth. By 1938, college youth were paid from six to forty dollars a month for “work study” projects at their school (Williams, 1937).
The Powwow: A Culturally Significant Event On April 28th at 2 PM I volunteered to work at the powwow. The powwow holds a cultural significance for Native Americans and celebrates heritage. I observed a beautiful display of culture and I gained a real understanding of diversity. As someone from a Hispanic background I understand the significance of keeping culture alive.
That is a circle. From seed to harvest, the life of the Ojibway is full and it is sufficient. This is what you must tell my grandchildren’” (Broker 57). This shows how important the traditions were to Oona’s tribe.
Adam Sorenson Prof. Riggs COMP 01112 2/12/18 Misrepresentation of Native Americans Native American’s for many years now have been viewed as lone warriors or squaw, some people don’t even know that they still exist! People just think of the Native American people in storybook tales and nothing more then that. The Native Americans have been living in the United States for awhile now and were the first ones on the country’s soil. They were here way before Christopher Columbus and the other European Colonists even discovered America and they are still present in the U.S.
In the article “Seattle says goodbye to Columbus day” by Dr. Susan Berry it says “According to the AP report, the resolution that passed on Monday declares “Indigenous Peoples’ Day” the second Monday of October and intends to Honor the contributions and culture of Native Americans and the indigenous community in Seattle. In the article it also says that supporters of the action said” it will recognize the rich history of people who have inhabited the area for hundred of years. Fawn Sharp, president of the Quinault Indian Nation on the olympic peninsula, and president of the Affiliated Tribes of the Northwest Indians says”This action will allow will allow us to bring into current present day our valuable and rich history,and it’s there for future generations to learn”. Indigenous people 's day is a holiday we should all celebrate we should honor the culture and the death of many Native Americans whose tribe were in
The removal of the Cherokee, or more commonly known as the “Trail of Tears,” was a defining American event that left an incredible historical impact. The Cherokee and other Native American tribes were being moved westward by the American government for various reasons such as disputes with white settlers, the desire for the gold on the Cherokee lands, the desire to civilize them and other reasons. However, it was far from a simplistic dispute between whites and Native Americans. There were many whites, including President Jackson, as well as some Cherokee, who supported the policy to move the Indians west. Opponents of the removal also included both whites and Cherokee.
Japanese Internment Camps - Persuasive Argument On December 7, 1941, Japanese fighter planes attacked the American naval base located near Pearl Harbor at Honolulu, Hawaii. After the bombing, Japanese Americans were sent off to internment camps due to President Franklin Roosevelt’s decision on releasing Executive Order 9066. Even though the U.S government’s decision was meant to benefit the country’s safety from more attacks by the Japanese, my strong belief is that Executive Order 9066 was not justifiable towards Americans.
Overall, the Hoh tribe and it’s people have been a pleasure to research. It’s rich culture, history, and legends are very interesting and unique as opposed to other Native American tribes I have researched in the past. The Hoh tribe and its reservation will add to my Nature Bridge experience, and I am very excited for our upcoming trip to the area in
Celestial bodies and planets seem to determine our calendars, in addition, to our time. Consequently, time plays a major key role in each and every decision or plans that make up our events. As a result, time and calendars make up our seasons when they are uninformed about the celestial bodies. Whether it is winter, spring summer or fall, we perceive to be of service to the celestial bodies. Not only do the calendars and time in it give us seasons, but they also devote us a variety of holidays.
The tonalpohualli (count of days) was the sacred almanac of the Mexicas.
