own choices. European arrival in North America during this period introduced Christianity, particular Catholicism. This came at a time when indigenous people believed in medicine men and understood that some objects possessed the power to harm or to heal.[footnoteRef:1] This essentially means that life in indigenous societies during this period was characterized by superstition and sinful practices. The introduction of Catholicism to these societies challenged the religious supremacy of the medicine man and enlightened indigenous women to a new world in which they possessed spiritual power. Indigenous women were converted to Catholicism following the realization that God is the ultimate spiritual power. [1: Tracy Neal Leavelle, “The Catholic Rosary, Gendered… Continue Reading...
supposed to serve. Colonialist worldviews affects research questions, research designs, and research methods. Indigenous people are systematically barred from controlling discourse, or even defining or operationalizing their own terms. Disallowing for self-definition or self-determination, colonialism in higher education therefore perpetuates power inequities beyond the walls of the institution, reverberating throughout society. Indigenous people are the subjects or objects of research and thereby objectified, as opposed to being the lead researchers who frame new paradigms, evolving theory, and participate in the creation of new knowledge with real world applications. Critical race theory and anti-colonial rhetoric is insufficient for promoting egalitarianism in higher education. Anti-colonial… Continue Reading...

Defining a Stakeholder
Broadly speaking, a stakeholder denotes a person or an entity affected by or that affects the operations of a given organization (Carroll, Brown & Buchholtz, 2017). Stakeholders are groups that are necessary for the existence of an organization. These include employees, managers, communities, customers, shareholders, lenders, investors, and government agencies. Stakeholders may also include suppliers, labor unions, professional associations, industry trade groups, advocacy groups, and competitors. These groups influence… Continue Reading...
bid to reinforce the prospects of reaching out to many people with the gospel of Christianity. As with the Canadian indigenous people, much was needed to reinforce the spread of this Christianity that came with schooling (Regan, 2010). The study, thus, gives critical reasons that led the government in Canada and Christian movement in this country, to seek to establish residential schools in the country. The government, and run by the Christina movements, financed the residential schools.
Body
It is clear that the Canadian government was facing the challenge of accessing all of its population with education. Schooling was a difficult thing to come by, as many of the indigenous… Continue Reading...
to 1500 CE. It will also examine the treatment of indigenous people by expanding empires and conquerors as well as factors that inhabited the development of long-distance exchange networks in the Americas and dynamics of cultural exchange.
Transmission
With the rise of the Roman Empire, which stretched from central Europe out across Spain, up to England, down across northern Africa and all the way to Egypt and Persia, was considered the greatest Empire of all time when it existed. It connected so many diverse peoples and populations that it was inevitable that the ideas developed by the beloved classical philosophers… Continue Reading...
history demonstrates that he brought much despair and horrors to indigenous people near the Americas. The fact that The United States still has a day in his honor is bizarre and absurd. This essay will discuss the numerous compelling reasons why Columbus Day should be abolished, and ideally replaced with something that appropriately honors indigenous people.
One of the most compelling reasons to abolish Columbus Day was the fact that Christopher Columbus was a non-American, non-native, who never actually touched any of the soil of the continental United States. It might even be accurate to say that he never even… Continue Reading...
support from participants include the following. First, the program needs to focus on the stories and worldviews of the indigenous people. Second, the program needs to take into account multiple learning styles and differential goals in education. Finally, program leaders need to communicate effectively with all participants.
These strategies will encourage support, participation, and long-term trust among diverse learners and members of the community. Focusing on the stories, symbols, paradigms, and worldviews of the indigenous peoples of the Great Lakes region will encourage conversations and mutual respect. The discursive practices in the school will be radically transformed, leading to long-term improvements in communication and pedagogy. The educational philosophies of… Continue Reading...
How did Westward expansion increase tensions with Native Americans?
European settlement in the Americas created tensions with indigenous people since the time of first contact, as settlers and aboriginal groups found themselves competing for land and power, or entered into tense and lopsided political agreements. Westward expansion increased tensions with Native Americans to an unprecedented degree, leading to large-scale slaughter and genocide. By the time of Westward expansion, the myth of manifest destiny had become entrenched in the American consciousness. Still part of American culture and identity, manifest destiny refers to the sense of entitlement Americans feel towards resource exploitation. Westward expansion was not necessarily motivated by… Continue Reading...

3. Main Argument
In addition to being civilized, the Middle East’s indigenous people are not held hostage by traditions that get in the way of self-determination. Further, religion (i.e. Islam) is founded on some basic democratic ideals that do not complicate self-determination. On that basis, we could speculate that the problem lies with the current regimes and globalization realities.
4. Empirical Evidence
There is sufficient empirical evidence presented systematically in support of the viewpoints of the author, i.e. the region’s colonial history.

there is no doubt. European settlers displaced, forcibly removed, betrayed, and in many cases killed indigenous people whose land this was for centuries before.
Those same Europeans cultivated a sense of entitlement to these lands, pushing farther and farther west until they hit yet another ocean. And they did not even stop there. They pressed onwards, eventually taking over the Polynesian kingdom of Hawaii. During the era of Manifest Destiny, Americans also encroached upon and had war with Mexico, and it would appear that many Americans have forgotten that much of our southwestern lands were once Mexican territories too. This is reality. This is history.… Continue Reading...
