    Sivertz continues to downplay the devastating effects the Canadian government 's mismanagement had on the Inuit population that was relocated. When discussing how the Inuit people were forced to eat from the dumpster in order to survive, he instead focuses primarily on the issues of regulations surrounding the use of the dumpster, and how the constables in charge of the dumpster were very “gentle and effective”. He outright ignores the glaring issue that the Inuit, who were promised a better standard of living with plenty of food, were eating from a dumpster. Mr. Sivertz also disregards the complete lack of proper investigation and research conducted by the government prior to the relocation. First, Mr. Sivertz downplays how the government’s original “promise” to allow Inuit people to return was not properly conveyed to the Inuit people in Inukjuak by a translator who spoke broken Inuktitut.…

    This specific history of the Ottawa Valley people is inseparable from the history of the Algonquian peoples. This history is hard to separate because the Algonquins have always made theirs homes close to the Ottawa River. Algonquin people believe they have always lived in the Ottawa Valley, an understanding which is reflected in their traditional stories(http://www.thealgonquinway.ca/pdf/algonquin-history.pdf). The specific story I read was called Wiskedjak Pursues the Beaver; this story explained how creation came to the aboriginal peoples in this area. These Algonquins refer to themselves as the Pikwakanagan which means hilly place.…

    During the early and mid 1400’s, before colonization, North America was inhabited by an enormous amount of diverse Native American tribes. These tribes were incredibly dispersed across the continent of North America, which resulted in Native Americans populating many different geographical regions. The introduction of settlers from Europe, especially Spain, caused the lives of these Native Americans to transform drastically. When analyzing the history of North American tribes, it is important to note the reasoning behind the susceptibility of Native Americans to European conquest as well as why these tribes were so distinctly unique from one another. After the ice ice age, the climate and geography of North America changed drastically.…

    Long before the European race pierced through the North American continent, the indigenous people of what is now the “United States” lived in peace and harmony. Just like most other civilizations of their time, this broad group of indigenous natives created their own creation myths and stories to ease their worried minds of the past and future. Though there are hundreds of creation myths still cycling through cultures in today’s society, the Natives of North America have very distinct features that can’t compare to others. Unlike religious ideas in the east, Native American creation stories typically center around land manipulation, birth, the importance of animals, and the act of bravery.…
