JLAW M3 Blog


One of the sources I used for Module 3 was the website, law.jrank.org/pages/8750/Native-American-Rights-Hunting-Fishing-Rights.html.  I used this site as my starting point to help me understand better the Native American Hunting and Fishing laws.  It was also quite resourceful in some other areas breaking down some of the Native American rights such as Treaty Rights, Reserved Rights Doctrine, Federal Power over Native American Rights, Hunting and Fishing Rights, Water Rights and Gaming Rights.  I felt that it easily and thoroughly explained the topics citing the court cases and good examples to go along with each topic.  The website is a Law Library covering American and Legal Law, which also includes “thousands of legal articles, covering important court cases, historical legal documents, state laws & statutes, and general legal information”.(JRank)  I have used this website many times for some of my prior classes in the criminal justice field and I also sometimes use it as a quick reference for certain things pertaining to my job as well.  I find it to be a great starting point.  What I love about this particular website is that in the search you can put just about anything regarding legal/law and it brings up so much great information and it will guide you to the correct spot highlighting important points.

    I also focused on the law aspect, but pertaining to land issues. Documentation of the case law and rulings in the present day is very interesting because were are able to see that the native people are gaining more of a voice and that many wrongs are being made right. There is certainly a lot more work to be done and many things can not be undone, but the legal system is definitely balancing out in the favor of the native people.

    I think this is a great site, I am hunter myself so to learn more regarding the laws of the natives is very interesting. I feel that they should have more rights to the land; as it is something the US can give back to them as they lost everything. They also do not kill for the sport of it, they rely on these animals.

The 21st Century Indigenous Person

The Mohawk Proverb, Mankiller’s favorite, “It’s hard to see the future with tears in your eyes,” which she shared at the end of her video gives us insight into what she believes – there is a future for Native Americans, and they will not let tears cloud their vision. Her attitude is one of encouragement, but we must also acknowledge that her motivation is not only for the natives and that they will make room for the non-natives including them in their forward movement into a new season of self-determination. It is important to note that Mankiller does not sugar coat the historical trauma that the Native Americans suffered; she reaches out to her audience and brings them into the events without criticism or judgmentalism sharing the facts of the past and leading all into the contemporary momentum of the Pan Indian movement. Mankiller gives the audience a glimpse into the partnerships that can develop when work is conducted outside of a vacuum. She states that the Arizona tribal...

Wilma Mankiller

We reviewed the video of Wilma Mankiller speaking at Arizona State University, describing the challenges that Native American tribes will face in the 21 st Century. It is meant to display the point of a view of Wilma Mankiller, a former chief of the Cherokee tribe, and her views on the future of indigenous groups, the challenges they will face and how indigenous groups can best approach these issues. Her words speak with the authority of a community leader and as an expert not only on Native American people but on indigenous people around the world. She speaks of the connectiveness and similarities that indigenous groups have world wide. She speaks of how these groups can and should unite around. These groups face both unique challenges that are present only to indigenous groups but also larger issues such as climate change, that all humans across globe face. It is important I believe as sometimes Native American groups and all indigenous groups can be marginalized and people can fo...

Lewis and Clark

I have used the web resources off PBS regarding Lewis and Clark. I have learned that Lewis & Clark would go to tribe to tribe telling all of the tribes that the land that they have been on for years now belonged to the US. I was shocked to read that they had a slave named "York" that they brought with them; they let the Indians believe that he was a "wild creature that has been tamed" so the Indians believed it had spiritual powers. Lewis and Clark's mission was to make peace of all Western tribes, though some tribes saw them as a direct threat and were hostile in return as they had heard about the White man taking things away from them. Throughout the reading, there was many things that each Tribe would contribute and known for. The Chinook's were canoe builders, fisherman and planters. Hidatsa were farmers of corn, tobacco and beans. When Lewis and Clark would show up they would many times have exchanges so that the Indians thought that they were the...
