Start Blogging (enjoy this exercise - more talking than academic)

Hello Class,

Some of you may be blogging pros, while I know others are blogging novices.

 Treat these like discussions - one initial post due Friday week materials are due and 2 peer responses by Sunday. Anytime blogging is due it must meet these requirements. 

 __________________________________

If you are here, clearly you already read and followed the instructions from Module 1 on blogging. The first assignment states:

Remember, the point of journaling is to convey your ideas about what you are learning, but since you are in an academic format, it should be substantiated by the information that you are exposed to in this course. It does not matter if you like or dislike something; what matters is why you feel the way you do and what lead you in the sources you reviewed to feel that way.

1. Write a 250 word minimum piece of writing that can be used in a blog post. Your writing must document and describe one of the web resources in Module 01 and tell us, the reader what you have learned from it. Do not assume that all of your readers are familiar with the resource. Here is a good link for composing a quality academic journal post: http://faculty.weber.edu/kmackay/academic_journal.htm

So have fun, be creative, load pictures, link important websites. Although this is an academic exercise, I prefer that you explore your creative side, express yourself freely.

Enjoy.

      Upper Michigan has such a deep blue compared to where I live in Florida now. Running is wonderful when you are conditioned for it :-)

    Blog 1: 12/9/2017
    Alice Cunningham was a middle aged researcher who went to live amongst Native American tribes in the late 1800's. She was an educated person from the Boston area, of Cuban descent, a teacher, and a women's rights contributor. Her studies and research were in the area of humanities and anthropology. Under the guidance of Fredrick Putnam, a director of Harvard's Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, her interests in the studies of Indian culture grew. She taught Indian children at the Carlslile Indian School in Pennsylvania, and was awarded during her career with a Harvard Fellowship.
    While Alice lived and studied the Indian Culture, she kept a journal of her surroundings and environment. A novice in the study of anthropology and obervational studies, she gathered a very brief but candid replication of her perceptions when combined with the tone of her own learned paradigms. Her descriptive journal entries are not reflective of the Indian struggles with the white man. The title being "Fieldwork" does not seem as fitting for the content. Regardless, the accounts of interactions somehow helped rather than completely leaving the work of an Interior Department's employee to no further fundings for their purposes at all.
    Although the perceptions of Alice Cunningham were not as well received by the Native American tribes as she might have hoped, her contributions to the study of the Indian peoples allowed funding programs and Native American assistance. This quote relays the course of action put in place by allowing Alice to study and relay her findings:
    "Soon after she returned from her visit in the Midwest, Fletcher helped create and push through Congress a bill that allowed the Omaha people to claim title to their own land. Fletcher returned to the Omaha Reservation in 1883 as an employee of the Bureau of Indian Affairs to allot private property to the inhabitants of the reservation, and she carried out similar work at the Winnebago and Nez Perces reservations throughout the 1880s" (Smithsonian Institute 2017).

Chief Joseph

Image
Chief Joseph was born Hin-mah-too-yah-lat-kekt, or Thunder Rolling Down the Mountain in 1840 in Northeastern Oregon, then known as Wallowa Valley. He was known as Joseph after his father, Joseph the Elder, was took the name when he was baptized in 1838. His father was one of the first Nez Perce to convert to Christianity, and was a supporter of the tribe’s longstanding peace with whites. This all changed in 1863 when the federal government took back almost six million acres of this land. Joseph the Elder felt betrayed and blamed the United States. He refused to move his band from the Wallowa Valley to a reservation in Idaho.   After his father passed away, Joseph the Younger was elected Chief. The tribe was in the middle of an unstable situation as white settlers continued to inhabit the Wallowa Valley. In 1873, the federal government ordered the white settlers to be removed from the area, and to allow Chief Joseph’s people to remain. In 1877 the federal government rescind...

M3 - The Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA)

Image
The resource I’ve examined is the Tribal Courts of New York , specifically the Indian Child Welfare Act. As an extension to Child Protective Serves, ICWA provided greater consideration to the child’s future well-being with regard to culture, language, and community. As part of our reading resources this is an important one because it gives an understanding of the conditions under which children are considered to be placed under care of the state, or in this case – the tribe. I find this act heartening due to the consideration it provides, but I remain dismayed that it needed to be put into effect to begin with. I make more statements about this later on. ......................................................................................................................................... ICWA, or the Indian Child Welfare Act , established in 1978, was brought forth to handle issues regarding the removal of Native American children from their families ( Tribal Courts of New Yo...
