Would assimilating the tribal community to the mainstream be beneficial to them?
India has about 635 tribal groups and subgroups, including so-called 73 primitive tribes that together constitute about 8.2 per cent of the population. They are present in high numbers in seven states in central and northeast India, per the Indian census of 2017 The primary occupation of tribal areas is still largely agriculture, and most of them live a largely self-sustainable life in and around forests and other remote areas, away from the mainstream. The literacy rate is below 50 per cent. The other things that are very common in tribal community areas are poor localities, illiteracy due to which, low income, unhygienic food, lack of basic infrastructure like hospitals and toilets, poor educational facilities, poor standards of living and a high chance of losing land and jobs. More than 93% of these tribals do not have an income of over 10,000 per month.
The problems of tribals
Tribals throughout the world face problems, due to the lack of knowledge they have about
Illiteracy – Most of the tribal communities in India and in other countries face this main problem of illiteracy because of less educational opportunities
Communication Skills – Tribals across the world face this problem as they have different cultures and languages compared to their country. Either because they are not connected with the outer world or because they deny learning this new language.

When I read Museum Indians I thought that the metaphor most important to the text was “I am her shadow and witness” This quote from the story means that the author feels like her mother is the main part of anything the two do while she is in the background, hidden and unseen. The effect it has on the text is that the reader is now able to comprehend that throughout the whole story that she compares herself to her mother. The tone I receive as the reader, is disappointed and insignificant. This is because when she describes her mother it is all sunshine and lollipops but when she writes about herself it is like a gloomy day with rain.
Is america ours? Well, let's start at the beginning. After the war of 1812 georgians wanted to take the cherokee and other indian tribes land. So they came up with the indian removal act of 1812 it is promising the cherokee land and 5 million dollars if they move west. But, the cherokee and all the other indian tribes did not want to move because we come over and cheat them kill them and steal their land then after the war of 1812 we expect them to just move over to the west peacefully using the indian removal act.
(Doc A) We also don’t have much supplies left. We are low on food, weapons, and having no food leads to death and horrible sickness. The vomit surrounds our camp, and the smoke pollutes our air. (Doc C)
During the 1800s, American settlers began to explore the land in the United States that was received through purchases and agreements such as the Louisiana Purchase, Mexican Cession, and Gasden Purchase. These agreements lead to settlers moving onto western land and begin to develop the land there. In 1862, the Homstead Act was passed by Congress, granting government-owned western land to farmers. The goverment gave 160 acres of almost free western land as long as the settlers had to live in and work for 5 years in the land. As more and more people began to move in to the west, drawn by the promise of cheap land, the Native Americans lost even more land.
Indian Removal Act (1830) The Indian Removal Act was passed by Congress in 1830 and signed into law by President Andrew Jackson which mandated that Indians would be removed, mainly the Cherokee and other members of the Five Civilized Nations from lands in Georgia and other areas. This act was proposed on April 24th, 1830 by the Senate. The vote was 28 in favor and 19 disagreeing . The Indian Removal Act was passed on May 26th, 1830 by the House of Representatives.
The Western Indian Wars was a conflict between “the Western tribes and the U. S troops ended with the 1886 surrender of Apache leader Geronimo in Arizona and the 1890 overthrow of the Sioux at Wounded Knee in South Dakota (“America’s Wars”, 2004).” Throughout the history of the United States, American Indians were treated poorly. Ever since the white men crossed the Atlantic Ocean 200 years ago till the mid 1900’s the poor treatment and killing of Indians never ceased. U.S polices passed between the Revolutionary war and the mid 1900’s hurt American Indians and put them at an extreme disadvantage. There were series of wars, before the western Indian wars in the United States.
The life of Native Americans before and after the government issued the Indian Removal Act created a lasting effect on our nation. Native Americans were forced by the US government to vacate their lands. Surprisingly, nearly 125,000 Native Americans lived on millions of acres of land in Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina and Florida, which was all land that their ancestors had occupied and cultivated for generations (“Indian 1”). By the end of the 1890, very few Natives remained anywhere in the lands east of the Mississippi River (“Indian 1”). The Natives were forced to leave these land, because of the whites moving in who wanted the soft, fertile land, because of its farming capability.
The Indian Removal Act was signed in 1830 by President Andrew Jackson to remove the Cherokee Indians from their homes and force them to settle west of the Mississippi River. The act was passed in hopes to gain agrarian land that would replenish the cotton industry which had plummeted after the Panic of 1819. Andrew Jackson believed that effectively forcing the Cherokees to become more civilized and to christianize them would be beneficial to them. Therefore, he thought the journey westward was necessary. In late 1838, the Cherokees were removed from their homes and forced into a brutal journey westward in the bitter cold.
No matter the place in the world there are always leaders and followers, but sometimes there are people who take their own route. Within The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, Junior is that person who takes his own route. This is because of all the conflicts surrounding him. Junior’s decisions were impacted by the conflicts around him because he wanted to try his best to escape the hostile environment he was in. When people are facing adversity they don’t want to accept what is happening they want to fight back.
The Pre-Columbian tribes of America People in America celebrate Columbus Day, a holiday which celebrates how Christopher Columbus discovered America, but before him there were a whole lot of people that already was already there. Those people were pre-Columbians, people who were in the Americas before Columbus. The three regions of eight in which some Native Americans lived were Pacific Northwest, Great Basin, and the Southeast. They lived and survived in those places dealing with the climate and using whatever resources there are to survive. Some these tribes were the tribes were the Shoshone, Yuroks, and Cherokees.
Rachael Goodson Professor Kathrine Chiles ENG & AFST 331 15 February 2018 William Apess In the nineteenth century, America was at one of its peaks of racial debate, with people starting to question whether it was right for the African Americans to stay enslaved, or if it was time to start the process of freeing the slaves and allowing them to live a better life. However, most people did not even question how the Native Americans were being treated or forced to change almost every aspect of their lives to “please,” as if they could ever be, the white people. William Apess’ The Experience of Five Christian Indians is an example of some of the harsh ways that Indians were treated before and even after they were “forcibly” converted to Christianity.
This method is significantly expensive compared to routine shipment methods. Another issue that bedevils the organization is low employee motivation and engagement. Employees are generally lethargic and unenthusiastic about their work. They do not work autonomously without pressure and supervision of managers (Beer & Collins, 2008).
