Group Presentation on NA Issues

Title: land Disputes 
perspective 1: pipelines will be safer than trucks and trains
perspective 2: disrespectful to sacred land and we don't want the oil to leak

Title: Artifact Return
perspective 1: thought it looked pretty, told he could take it. Sent to a museum so people could be informed about it
perspective 2: Upset that he took it and he didn't ask to take it. It is important to the tribe, where they use it for graves. 

Title: Native American Casinos
perspective 1: want land rights and to build casinos wherever they want and that they are too strict about land rights. They don't have any land rights and to build they need approval
perspective 2: They think the Natives are corrupt and they need to be controlled more 

Title: Government Recognition
perspective 1: taxes aren't that hard to pay and every child can get an education 
perspective 2: We don't want to pay the taxes, we give them food and their culture will be taken away. 

Title: Legacy of Indian Schools
perspective 1: forcing them to leave their homes is wrong. They need to be with their family and learn about their own culture. Others thought their culture was better. 
perspective 2: are saving the natives, we gave them education and health and taught them their language.

Title: Portrayal of Natives Americans in movies or media
perspective 1: nothing wrong with the movie, Pocahontas, and that the clothes aren't really different from what they actually wear, we are honoring them, almost identical not completely. 
perspective 2: Are stereotyping the women as maidens and their dresses or short but, they are actually long. An animator from Peter Pan said he wouldn't show the stereotypical now if he could redo the film.
