Growing up there was always a lot of talk about the Indian Reservations around my home state of Minnesota. I decided I would pick an Indian tribe from the area in which I grew up in hopes I would learn more about them, even though I have not lived in Minnesota for over twenty years. I always found it quite comical when relatives would have to go to an Indian reservation to gamble, it was something I did not understand, especially when I live in Las Vegas and see it everywhere I go. I found the Red Lake Band of Chippewa to be the most interesting to me, mainly because it is the closest tribe and reservation to where I grew up. Red Lake Band of Chippewa is located in the state of Minnesota and is the most populous reservation in the state. The reservation is located about 25 miles north of Bemidji and about a four hour car ride from Duluth, Minnesota. The reservation is located on the largest lake in the state of Minnesota. The Red Lake Band of Chippewa is has four different reservation communities. The first …show more content…
The state courts or government has no jurisdiction at Red Lake. All the laws are made by the Tribal Council and enforced by the Tribal Council and the Federal Courts. Red Lake is unique because it is considered a "closed" reservation. All the land is held in common by the tribe and there is no private property. Because of this, there are very few non-members that live at Red Lake. The tribe has the right to limit who can visit or live on the reservation. Both men and women alike are able to govern and can hold positions in the Tribal Council. In 1934, Red Lake Band of Chippewa preferred to retain a “clan-based” system of governance so they rejected organization under the Indian Reorganization Act. It was not long until they withdrew from the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe and all other Chippewa nations and began governing

After the Reservations establishment in 1857,
The mosh is an awesome place in Downtown Jacksonville; where everyone can learn some interesting facts about our city, how the body works , what animals are in the ocean and etc. I visited the Timucua Indian exhibit; I learned a lot of intriguing information that I didn’t know before.

The Quapaw Tribe of Indians, history, culture, values, strength, and perseverance have allowed them to stay united as a tribe and sets them apart from other Indian tribes, although they deserve a better fate. It is my belief, that it is the Quapaw Indians values, strength, and perseverance that have gotten them to where they are today. I am thankful for the Quapaw Tribe and the unification that they have. I have many great memories being raised by a Quapaw man and their traditions and values have stuck with him, as he works hard and never gives up hope, just as the Quapaws did.
There was a period of time, before the appearance of Europeans on the continent, that the Nephilim did not have this “rule” or “compulsion” to keep their existence hidden from humans. The Bigfoot were known to the Native Americans by many names. Legends and lore sprang up from the Native American’s interaction with the Bigfoot. The Native Americans always considered them to be a “society” or “tribe.” The relationship the Bigfoot tribes had with the Native Americans was precarious at best. Many Native American tribes described the Bigfoot as cannibals, mountain devils, kidnappers, rapist, and thieves.
...higan, they are The Little River Band of Ottawa Indians. The Little River Band is full and rich in culture. Some people don’t acknowledge the Ottawa tribe here in Manistee Michigan, or really even know who they are or how they feel. I feel as though that the Ottawa tribe has a huge positive impact on Michigan’s history. Thereby, I have written this essay to discuss and reveal the culture and the day-to-day of the Ottawa tribe with observations, interviews and research.
...ssentially they are their own country. In order for the tribe to have the tools necessary to maximize FEMA in case of an emergency, training must be provided on the reservations. The nuiances of each reservation can be addressed as well as the risks. Tribes would then be able to provide its members with the a better chance for a speedy recovery process.
Throughout the history of Canada the indigenous population of the country have been voiceless. They have been both suppressed and oppressed by the Federal and various Provincial governments within Canada. Many organizations tried to provide a voice for the native population but failed in their attempt. These organizations eventually merged together to become what is now known as The Assembly of First Nations. The Assembly of First Nations gives voice to the issues and problems facing the different components of the aboriginal community in Canada.
Throughout ancient history, many indigenous tribes and cultures have shown a common trait of being hunter/gatherer societies, relying solely on what nature had to offer. The geographical location influenced all aspects of tribal life including, spirituality, healing philosophy and healing practices. Despite vast differences in the geographical location, reports show various similarities relating to the spirituality, healing philosophy and healing practices of indigenous tribal cultures.
As a White American, I have been virtually unaware of the harsh living conditions that Native Americans have been enduring. This past summer I was fishing and camping at a resort in northwestern Minnesota with my family. I realized that this resort was located on the White Earth Indian Reservation. As I drove around the towns that the resort was near, I saw that the Native Americans were terribly poverty-stricken. Besides the resort that my family and I were staying at and a small casino that was nearby, most of the buildings and houses were in poor condition. The majority of the houses were trailers and not something that I would call “livable.” This raised a few questions in my mind: Why are people on Indian reservations living this way and what other things besides housing are Native Americans lacking? As I began research on these questions, I found three major issues. Poverty, health, and education are three tribulations that, at this point, remain broken on American Indian reservations.

Cultural competence is a skill essential to acquire for healthcare providers, especially nurses. Cooperating effectively and understanding individuals with different backgrounds and traditions enhances the quality of health care provided by hospitals and other medical facilities. One of the many cultures that nurses and other health care providers encounter is the American Indian or Native American culture. There are hundreds of different American Indian Tribes, but their beliefs and values only differ slightly. The culture itself embodies nature. To American Indians, “The Earth is considered to be a living organism- the body of a higher individual, with a will and desire to be well. The Earth is periodically healthy and less healthy, just as human beings are” (Spector, 2009, p. 208). This is why their way of healing and symbolic items are holistic and from nature.
