Analysis of The Eskimo Girl
Living in the Arctic wasn't easy. There were always problems, but this
was different. Sophie had never been in such a desperate situation...
She walked and looked around her. Sophie had lived in this part of the
North Pole with her Inuit tribe for thirteen years. The Eskimos knew
the land well. Sophie often explored the vast lakes and ancient
mountains and had never got lost; but this time was different. She
hadn't meant to walk far, but then she hadn't anticipated a snowstorm
either. She knew she must be miles away from her tribe's camp. It was
her mum's fault really; if her mum had let her go out in the first
place she wouldn’t have stormed off, she wouldn’t have had an argument
with her and she certainly wouldn't have told her she hated her.
Sophie sat down slowly on a snowy log, shut her eyes and tried to
think of what to do next. She pulled her fur hood up over her dark
black hair to keep out the furious wind that was building. Her mother
was right. There was a snowstorm coming. Now she was lost. She felt
tears welling up in her eyes and all she wanted was to be back home
sat by the nice warm fire drinking her mum's special soup. She stood
up and knew she had to find somewhere to shelter. Otherwise could
find herself in serious trouble. While she walked she tried to think
of a way to raise the alarm that she was missing. Sophie knew that as
she didn’t have her full outside clothing on, she was at very high
risk of getting hypothermia. She had been walking for about five
minutes when she came across a large hole in the snow. She climbed in
and huddled herself into a ball. Sophie sat there and thought about
all her friends and her tribal life, just the normal things:
collecting the fish in the morning from the holes in the ground which
Inuit Odyssey, by CBC’s: The Nature of Things covers the long and eventful journey of the Inuit people. Canadian anthropologist, Dr. Niobe Thompson searched for the answers to questions about who the modern day Inuit are, where did they come from, how did they survive and who did they conquer along the way? Thompson explored the direct lineage between modern day Inuit and the Thule people, and their interactions with the Dorset and Norse Vikings in their search for iron. Thompson is ultimately concerned with how the current warming climate will affect the Inuit people therefore, he decides to retrace the creation of the Inuit culture, starting his journey in the original homeland of the Thule people.
Canada has been constantly acknowledged as a nation of different people from different part of the world (MacDonald 66). Our great nation is recognized as a very diverse country filled with unity, which continues to encourage people from other part of the world to come and live in Canada. Although its been constantly considered as one of the top countries in the UN Human Development Index, Aboriginal peoples classified together with residents of Panama, Belarus, and Malaysia in terms of their economic and social possibilities (qtd. in MacDonald 66). In a special report by James Anaya, claimed that Canada has issues in regards to the circumstances surrounding indigenous people of the nation, and Aboriginal petitions continues to be unsettled, and therefore resulted to an excessive amount of lack of confidence among Aboriginal peoples towards the government (qtd in MacDonald 66).
Today I am going to be explaining how the three different point of views or P.O.V the narrators in three different stories all about unfairness to the miners during the gold rush or the late eight-teen-hundreds though. Mainly I'm going to be mentioning the character's narrators background, family, and their opinions. For opinions I'm going to be talking about if they thought the rules where to strict or just right.
She thought about her family, and the neighbors, and the town, and the dogs next door, and everyone and everything she has ever met or seen. As she began to cry harder, she looked out the window at the stores and buildings drifting past, becoming intoxicated suddenly with the view before her. She noticed a young woman at the bus stop, juggling her children on one side of her, shielding them from the bus fumes.
'For all the smoldering emotions of that summer swelled up in me and burst-the great need for my mother who was never there, the hopelessness of our poverty and degradation, the bewilderment of being neither child nor woman and both at once, the fear unleashed by my father's tears.'
She follow the people who had taken Otto and found herself in a village overrun with militiamen. Sophie escaped the clutches of rebels who eventually were going to eat Otto , possibly killing her too. Sophie along the way loses hope of ever going back to america or seeing her dad and mom again , but she new she had to stay strong for Otto and make it to her mother in one piece. While making the trip to the small village near the release site where her mother was releasing healthy Bonobos from her bonobo sanctuary, Sophie and Otto had to eat fruits and vegetation sometimes not knowing if the substance was harmful. Sophie felt that after finding her mom she could finally stop acting like an adult and depend on someone other than herself, Sophie could finally rest knowing that her and Otto were
good times, in a time of hardship in her life, and trying to find a
According to LaRocque (1994), there is a distinct connection here between the effects of colonization and the decreased well being of Aboriginals, with the greatest impact noticed upon Aboriginal women.
Cree Indians The Cree indians are a big tribe of Native Americans who lived in parts of North America. They also stayed in the Rocky Mountains and places along the Atlantic Coast. The Cree indians heavily populated Quebec and Saskatchewan in Canada. Between Canada and the United States, there are about 200,000 (registered) Cree indians. The number may be a little higher for those that are not registered.
The indigenous population of the Canadian Arctic, also known as the Inuit (Inuk for “People”), are a proud nation of historically marginalized communities. This diaspora of scattered and remote communities are predominantly found in regions of Canada, such as Newfoundland and Labrador, Nunatsiavut, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Quebec. Although, the Inuit community also spans as far as Greenland, Denmark, Russia, and the United States of America. This community holds their cultural institutions in very sacred and high regards as observed by their passionate ambitions to pass down their traditions, methods, and spoken history to their prosperity. However, these proud descendants of the earliest Arctic tundra conquerors have had an historically
Thesis Statement: Given the struggles aboriginals have had to face in Canada, the Canadian government should take action to solve the hundreds of cases of missing and murdered aboriginal women, as it will strengthen the relations between aboriginals and Canadians.

It was not by accident that Sophie was called to the scene. That was Sauniere's intention. She spent her entire childhood living with her grandfather, and she understands that the postscript in his death message was meant just for her. It was a "P.S." that stood for her childhood nickname, Princess Sophie. Sauniere wrote the message on the floor with his own blood, and the message was meant for her alone. Despite her clever mind and keen intellect, she needs Langdon to explain the mythological symbols and apparent references to heretical religious beliefs. Even though her grandfather taught her much more than she realizes when she was a child, the valuable lessons ceased at a fairly young age. Sophie had not spoken to her grandfather in years, due to an event she witnessed at an unfortunate moment that led her to believe he was the member of some horrible sort of cult.
Suicide is a misfortune that affects many people and areas around the world in a remarkably significant way. One group, the Inuit people of the territory of Nunavut in Northern Canada, are a population that experience extremely high levels of suicide. In fact, Inuit youth represent the highest group to die of suicide. In 2002, 26.4% of all Inuit deaths that occurred between the ages of 15 and 24 were attributed to suicide (Health Canada, 2011). Furthermore, a study conducted in 2012 mentioned that 23% of Inuit 18 years or older reported that they had seriously considered committing suicide at some point in their lives (Statistics Canada, 2015). The exceptional pervasiveness of Inuit suicide is shaped by numerous factors and has a drastic impact
