Jenkins, in Norman, Oklahoma to attend the 103rd annual American Indian Student Association (AISA) Spring Powwow. The weather was great, was about 80˚, partly cloudy with a cool breeze. Walking around trying to find the lady I was supposed to be interviewing, I occasionally would catch the smell of food (popcorn, pretzels, and hot dogs, and Indian Taco’s), as well as, seeing several tables where one can buy hand crafted gifts. I attended this event, because I have always been very intrigued with the history of the Native American people; from the culture, regalia’s and their religion. I met with Shelby Mata the organizer of the event to get a better

  • War Dance Sioux By George Catlin Summary

    221 Words  | 1 Pages

    When George Catlin painted “War Dance, Sioux”, he painted what appears to be the entire village, including women and children, which could allude to the close nit communities that Native American villages relied upon. The setting of the painting appears to be at sun down, which is a time usually associated with the war dance. It seems that the Sioux tribe were performing this war dance to ensure success in their battle, and jumping through the fire instilled bravery into the warriors and filled them with brawn and purpose. Many of the Native Americans in Catlin’s painting are wearing traditional headdresses for wartime, but all of them are not participating, possibly because some of the tribesman are either too young to too old to fight.

  • Rhetorical Devices In The Way To Rainy Mountain By Momaday

    666 Words  | 3 Pages

    In The Way To Rainy Mountain by N. Scott Momaday, Momaday uses stylistic devices and rhetorical strategies such as imagery, sensory details, and alliteration. The use of alliteration helps Momaday create the vivid imagery of the piece by displaying the active environment with the “brittle and brown grass“, “willow and witch hazel” and “Great green” grasshoppers. Through this, the great plain in Oklahoma is displayed as a landmark with an overactive and lively nature. Furthermore, sensory details are used by Momaday listing the “steaming foliage”, “cold rains of autumn”, the sound of “the frogs away by the river” and feeling “ the motion of the air.” Such stylistic devices help the author write his eulogy to his grandmother, by describing all the sights he saw, that his grandmother Aho once saw.

    The Legacy of the Historical Oppression of Native Americans To gain a true understanding of Native Americans and their culture, historians must not only examine the trials and tribulations Indians endured in the past, but also the contemporary issues the group faces. Currently, physical illnesses, psychological disorders, economic instability, and negative stereotypes continue to plague Native American communities. Popular sayings, like “Indians will be Indians” and “noble savages,” continue to haunt the culture. The use of the stereotypical Indian or “uncivilized savage” in toys, books, cars, foods, and sports teams, demonstrates how the American society is unfortunately accustomed to the prevalent stereotypes against Native Americans.

    Native American culture is full of rich traditions and values that many, myself included, have never taken the time to understand or even consider. Some of those traditions are strange to many outsiders today, and to the European settlers who took over their land hundreds of years ago. However, other aspects of Native American culture are rather similar to modern culture. There was, and still is, an emphasis placed on community within the tribe. This included stressing the importance of the individual, but also the family and the tribe itself.

Her memoir successfully addressed past grievances of colonialism and also recognized and honored indigenous knowledge and identity.

  • Essay On Native American Land

    640 Words  | 3 Pages

    Ownership of land was the concept of private property that one person or group owned permanent, absolute control of a part of land. This was difficult to understand for many Native Americans because they have practiced a communistic land system for a long period of time. Land was not a product, perceptible, or an inert item that could be sized and sold. The Native Americans never established a structure or civilization of personal land ownership. Their land was not possessed by people and instead belonged to the community as a whole.
