The Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians represents one of the federally recognized tribes in the United States. Located in eight reservation communities throughout Mississippi, it consists of almost 10,000 registered members.

The pipeline is an issue of culture clash; How can a culture such as that held by the Standing Rock Sioux tribe and the Army Corps of engineers be compatible? The Standing Rock Sioux tribe has held certain locations with a very high level of respect in their culture for many years. They have considered this land to have special meaning, even though the United States government has legal ownership that doesn’t mean that the tribe threw out the cultural meaning they had associated with the land just because they did not have legal ownership of the land. The notion of American property law is not considered as relevant to their beliefs regarding the land. This is not to say that the tribe is against American law, it is more to say that perhaps

Abstract We love to hear stories told by our parents, grandparents, family, and friends, but for the Oyate, stories told by their ancestors are how they know and understand creation and how they came to be. Stories of creation, battles, tradition and so on have been passed down from generation to generation and are still being shared today. The Lakota people did not have a written language but they did use shapes and images to translate stories the best they could. That is why they heavily relied on the oral stories that were shared in the Lakota history videos and Lakota Ehanni Stories. Oral Teachings

Native Tribes in the United States have long enjoyed sovereignty emanating from the penumbra of the 11th amendment, which states that the judicial powers of the United States shall not be extended to sovereign nations or their citizens. Further, under precedents established by the Supreme Court, Native Tribes have long been recognized as foreign states by the federal government, and they are thus granted sovereign immunity from laws and statutes passed at both the state and federal level. This sovereign immunity is also extended to all members of tribes and also those acting within the interest of a respective tribe.

In the late 1600’s, many European settlers arrived in North America in hopes of escaping the hardships they faced back home. America initially promised colonists the wealth, religious freedom, and escape from oppression they desired. New England was home to dense forests, and hills which was not optimal for crop growth. Therefore, the colonists directed their attention towards trade and commerce. The people in this region were devoutly religious and believed in the education of children.

European exploration and conquest of the New Word were fueled by a desire for wealth, power, and status. They also hoped people would convert to Christianity “First, to hold conformity with the rest of His works, being delighted to show forth the glory of His wisdom in the variety and difference of the creatures and the glory of His power, in ordering all these differences for the preservation and good of the whole” (Winthrop, John). The Spanish also descended on America with hopes of bringing Catholicism to the New World while gaining land, power, and money.

Throughout the history of not only the USA, but of all of America, its natives have played a key role in many events and have influenced the path of history. They also were forced to endure a lot when Europeans came to America. The Europeans took their land, and killed their people, often decimating their population, and making it hard to continue their way of life. That is why it is important to acknowledge Native American groups that, to this day, are still strong, and thriving.

Progressing from middle school, to high school, to college, to eventually a job, is one of the major ways that the universal idea of upward progress affects our lives. Upward progress is the idea that we as humans need to continue to better ourselves, look towards the future, and move forward in life.

The cultural circle of Native American life has been broken by destruction of the traditional ways.
