Puerto Vallarta

If I had a round trip ticket to travel anywhere in the world. Where would it be? What would I do? What would happen when I get there? I might just go to a city below sea level. Why on earth would anyone want to go to a city below any type of bodies of water? It’s still a mystery for me. However, Dominican Republic is below sea level and that is where I would like to visit one day. It seems as if there is so much to do there. Dominican Republic is well known for its beautiful beaches. Also, one…

Ten years ago summers for the children of Bushwick promised many things. Some things nostalgic; Puerto Rican Day parades, celebrations of American and Dominican Independence days, cookouts on the sidewalk, people watching on the once-deteriorating stoops, hip hop pulsing through passing car’s speakers, cherry-flavored piraguas, bathing in the refreshing cold water spewing from open fire hydrants. Some things, such as rampant gang violence and the sounds of police helicopters circling the…

Native american people are just like any other people. They live, breath, and eat like everyone else. Their culture is important to them just like the bible is important to us. Don't be a jerk, be a native american jerk. I believe that native american culture should be saved because they are people just like us. They just live different lives, in different places. Most of the indian population is dying down, because nobody is thinking about them and most people don't care. But if the…

Monuments are delicate topics in the sense that one may find reason to see it not be built. Thus, there are factors for a group or agency should consider in memorializing an event or person and in creating a monument, those factors being: will it take away the main purpose of the monument, is there any reason this monument should not be one and can it easily be threatened? Source C discusses the possibility of putting up a monument that perhaps should not be one. Namely, Mount Rushmore. As the…

Only a few days ago in Cultural Anthropology class, my classmates and I watched and informative video about an indigenous tribesman named Ishi. We learned about the persecution of his people, the endless pain he faced throughout his life, and the hardships he faced trying to reintegrate himself into “modern society”. From watching his life from his first public occurrence to his untimely death, I feel that I learned so much more about Native Americans that I probably would never have learned…

The government had a huge role in the westward expansion that greatly consisted land given to those willing to make the journey to get to the west. Starting in the 1820s through the 1860s, Americans began to move westward to the Mississippi River. The government was pushing the Native Americans out which made a great impact on the Native people who were living around the area. The government promised a better live style for the ones that wanted to move. As they were being pushed west, the…

There are considered extinct but they are actually still existing under a more familiar name of Latinos. The main Caribbean Islands were inherited by many tribes but the…

Native Americans killed the colonists on Roanoke island. This could have happened because earlier Sir Ralph Lane angered the Native Americans with their harsh policies. He also captured Indians for ransom and planned attacks against Indians. Also the Natives fought back, killing a settler and the settlers left the colony that was made. So after all that they had a bad relationship with the Natives. However in that colony that was made they found a tomahawk in a colonists body. A tomahawk was a…
