Abstract
This paper explains that a native anthropologist is one who conducts research in their own society whereas a regular anthropologist conducts research in any society. The paper considers how some would argue that there should be a distinction. This paper presents the hypothesis that the distinctions between native and regular anthropology do not matter. To support this argument, the work of the following two anthropologists is considered; Vincent Crapanzano, who is considered a Native anthropologist because he is doing research in his own society and Anne Allison, an American doing research in Japan.

Abstract
The following paper will look at how colonial policies were aimed at regulating and controlling women - and, especially, native women. Specifically, the next few pages will look at how the Dutch East India Company encouraged concubinage (with native women acting as the concubines) so that young employees could remain productive and even establish roots in the local area. Similarly, prohibitions on marriage were put in place to keep European women out while ensuring that employees could devote their full energies to the tasks at hand. Additionally, when European women finally did arrive, they were subjected to "protective laws" that really were meant to keep in place racial and gender reifications. Not to be forgotten, popular notions of eugenics inevitably emerged that cast native women in a subordinate, lowly light. Finally, the cult of domesticity was often ruthlessly imposed upon native peoples as a means of transporting European domestic sensibilities to the tropics.

Abstract
This paper examines the attempts of Native-American Tribes to retain their cultural heritage despite many years of repression and attempts by the colonial majority to force its culture on them. The paper looks at the major means whereby Native Americans are trying to preserve and even spread their culture amongst the various groupings and tribes living today in the United State of America. The author then goes on to examine the historical background to the American Indian's cultural repression. He examines, in some depth, the rebirth of Native-American literature and oral history and its impact on the Native-American population and attempts to evaluate its success.

From the Paper
"Individual Indians seek to define who they are through culture in varied ways, and are frequently challenged by distance. The revival of culture is centered around reservation life. Reservations schools attempt to transmit the traditions of the past, along with language through native reservation schools that teach language through a bilingual system or through submersion programs and yet many Native Americans live far from home and family, as a result of the pressures of modernization and the fact that economic and higher education opportunities are limited on many reservations. To many Indians it is a challenge to meet the goals of a highly connected social network of family and nation as distance creates change that challenges their ability to meld their historical culture with the white culture they frequently live within. Yet, it is also clear that individual definitions of self are strongly associated with family and cultural connections and traditions. It is for this reason that Native American creativity is expressed in novel ways through many avenues and medias as well as the reason why individual and collective vision become a constant recurring theme in many of these interpretations."

Abstract
The Native community in Canada has the highest health disparities in comparison to the remainder of the Canadian population. In addition, Native communities lack the resources needed to address their health problems. The vulnerable and high risk situation for Native communities is explained by Aboriginal peoples' visibility as a race which is distinct from all other people in Canada. The numerous and complex problems for Aboriginal people include alcohol and substance abuse, high rates of domestic violence, and high rates of child and teen pregnancies (Health Canada, 2007).

Abstract
This paper examines the cultural significance of burial sites to Native Americans, further discussing numerous conflicts that have arisen over this issue. First, the paper introduces a basic history of the relationship between Native Americans and Europeans in America. Then, it covers the various conflicts that have occurred over land, particularly Native American burial grounds. One case of a dam being built over an ancient cemetery is noted. Various solutions to these claims are discussed, including monetary compensation or returning the land rights to the Native American tribe.

From the Paper
"The authorities have basically come to an ethical dilemma, since they would normally have to risk having a flood and an important loss of energy in the area for the native tribe to get their territory back. Having been ignored and humiliated for centuries, the natives are clearly determined to fight for their rights. On the other side, any sane person would come to the conclusion that the ancient burial site is of lesser importance than the dam and the benefits provided by it. Furthermore, there is a possibility for the very native reservation to be threatened by the releasing of the water in the dam.
"All things considered, it would only be logical for the authorities to ignore the demands made by the native tribe. However, if they would do so, they would only continue a history of Native American oppression. The matter requires careful analysis in order for a conclusion to be made. Legality comes in divergence with logics in this topic, as the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act."

Abstract
There are many problems with native education in Canada. Native drop-out rates are very high compared to non-Aboriginals, while grade levels are comparatively low (Carter, 2001). The problem has deep historical roots, dating back to the imposition of the native residential school system. To remedy this situation, it will be necessary for educators bear in mind historical factors, and to endeavour to compensate for these, as well as to make up for current social factors, such as racism.

Abstract
The paper discusses how Lawrence and Anderson (2005) approach the issue of power in Native communities from both a Native and a feminist perspective. The two main variables used are gender and race. The writer of the paper agrees that the intersection of gender and race are essential for the analysis of power. The writer explains that although class is not explicitly discussed in the article, it is strongly implied since Native women and their informal leadership are given secondary attention. The paper describes how the authors address the invisibility of Native women in politics and the absence of their vision and voice in political power.

Often people have the wrong concept of an American Indian. Children 's conception of Native Americans often is developed from the media. Often Native Americans are sent to school and lose their concept of the Native American as well as the language of their people.

Abstract
This paper explains that Claudia "Lady Bird" Taylor Johnson, the wife of President Lyndon Johnson, during and after her husband's time in the White House, was involved with several environmental initiatives, which continue to make an impact decades later. The paper describes Lady Bird's efforts to make cities and highways throughout the U.S. more beautiful and relates that Lady Bird promoted legislation to protect the environment, although today not all laws remain in place. The writer also states that, as other first ladies, Lady Bird Johnson also knew that her place was to support her husband on his own personal issues.

From the Paper
"Unfortunately, as with many laws, the Highway Beautification legislation was not tight enough to keep the large concerns from moving through the loop holes, and the small concerns, as those along Route 66, to suffer the consequence. Time went on, and the number of billboards continued to grow. Today, the billboard blight is worse in some states than others and environmental groups actively work together to keep additional laws from making matters worse."
