Abstract
The paper relates that William Berkeley, one-time governor of Virginia, was notorious for taking a conciliatory approach to natives during his tenure in office; eventually, this caused dissension with many small property owners who, under the leadership of Nathaniel Bacon, rose up against the natives and - for all intents and purposes - against Berkeley himself. The paper looks briefly at Berkeley's Indian policy and how it impacted Bacon's Rebellion. The paper shows that Berkeley does not appear to have been a bad governor vis-a-vis native-white relations, but he may not have had the steel in his spine necessary to control the situation appropriately.

Abstract
This paper determines what influences the policy orientation of both China and India and how it might influence the future foreign policy of these two countries. The paper examines how although China may have risen as the second largest economy and the world while India is becoming a regional hegemon, both countries have a shared history of being an economic basket case which has influenced each country's current foreign policy orientation. The paper concludes that China, with its current effort to convert its economic might into political muscle without doubt will become a viable great power someday. It also contends that India, with its consensual polity may just become a great democracy that can rival or better than that of the United States.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Knowing the power of economics, these two countries achieved their economic rise when they reoriented their foreign policy to stress on economic pragmatism. Economics drives everything and is critical in determining a country's strength. China's treatment of its new economic might is to convert it into a political muscle through its military build-up (Zhou, 2008, 176) which its growing economy is able to afford. At present, China is developing its first aircraft carrier to augment the weakness of its navy. This military initiative of China is worth noting because the build-up of an aircraft carrier has political implications. Aside from beefing up the capacity of its navy, an aircraft carrier is also a potent political tool in projecting a country's power beyond its border by enabling it to deploy troops anywhere in the world.

Abstract
This paper explains how the Canadian government has acted to appease First Nation citizens and examines the history of the First Nation people from a political standpoint. The writer then discusses how the current self-government legislation fails to fully address the self-government needs of Canada's Indigenous people.
Outline:
Introduction
Federal Government Legislation Regarding Native Canadians
Current Aboriginal Self-Government Legislation
Assembly of First Nations: History of Aboriginal Struggle
The Rights of Aboriginal Canadians to Self-Govern
Conclusion: Rectify the Aboriginal Self-Government Problem
From the Paper
"Under the federal Indian Act, the Canadian government defines an Indian as "a person who, pursuant to this Act, is registered as an Indian or is entitled to be registered as an Indian" (Indian and Northern Affairs Canada [INAC], "Federal Programs"). In particular, the program is used to administer benefits to individuals registered in the Indian Register (that is, those who have attained "Registered Indian Status") under the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development (DIAND). But how efficient is the program in addressing the needs of First Nation Canadians? With current legislation being more of a concession to the injustices indigenous Canadians have faced since the European invasion, the Federal and provincial governments have ignored one of the basic rights of the Indigenous people - that is, the right of self-government."

Abstract
In this paper, the involvement of "Indian regimes" within the East Indian Company during British rule are only the result of a pseudo-autonomy of government provided to the Indians in the Mughal tradition. The 19th century theories on the dual role of local and colonizing forces collaborating within the Company is superficial, since the British held a great deal of power to manipulate the Indians used within their military and legal systems.

The Indian Act's Continuing Legacy. Introduction Canada's Aboriginal population is said to enjoy relative advantages in comparison with Native Americans to do without minimal protections extended by the British Crown from the mid-18^th century. The ongoing Indian Act is a Canadian anomaly and a work in progress in its partial guarantee of privileges owing to status Indians, stipulation of how reserve communities are to be administered, as it also fails to protect other Aboriginal interests. This paper conveys ambiguities and areas for reform of importance noting, too, how the Indian Act continues to have

Abstract
The paper argues that too often in the history of Canada's native communities, government policies have been promulgated that, for all their insistence about protecting native communities (or culture) have really done anything but protect them: a classic case in point is the assimilationist policies of Canadian federal governments for generations. The paper looks at how the Indian Act, first brought into being in 1869, was not a document aimed at protecting native culture but a document which really sought to impose two burdens upon native society, and upon native women in particular: a) it sought to constrain the freedom of native women to marry whom they wished, and b) it sought to inject a quintessentially British or White-Anglo-Saxon-Protestant mindset vis-a-vis gender relations into native communities.
From the Paper
"Far too often, at least in the history of Canada's native communities, government policies have been promulgated that, for all their insistence about protecting native communities (or culture) have really done anything but protect them: a classic case in point is the assimilationist policies of Canadian federal governments for generations. With that in mind, the paper emerging from this proposal will look at how the Indian Act, first brought into being in 1869, was not a document aimed at protecting native..."

Abstract
The author examines India's opposition to the war in Iraq in light of its pro-Arab foreign policy. As the author states, while many within the Indian political circles have criticized India's unwavering pro-Arab foreign policy and have observed that India could have acquired invaluable economic and political gains had it cooperated with the United States' current Middle Eastern foreign policy and offered, at the minimum, unenthusiastic support for the current war instead of outright criticism. It explains that India could not have done so, as such an action would have implied Indian negation of its post-colonial history on the one hand and the sentiments of its Muslim population on the other. Consequently, opposition to the current war is best understood through a historical analysis of Indian-Arab foreign policy; it was predetermined by the country's ideology, political history and ethnic composition.
From the Paper
"India, according to foreign policy analysts and international relations scholars, has pursued a consistent pro-Arab foreign policy over the past fifty years and more. Numerous explanations have been forwarded for India's unwavering pro-Arab foreign policy stance, ranging from reference to cultural and historical affinity to others which primarily focus on pragmatic economic calculations. It is, as this part of the research paper shall try to argue, a combination of multiple factors. In other words, it is impossible to ascribe India's pro-Arab foreign policy to any one factor as it is the outcome of multiple considerations. It is largely due to these considerations that India's stand against the present Iraq war and its unequivocal refusal to contribute to the war effort with a minor contingent of peacekeepers was predicted by numerous students of Indian foreign policy and international relations, even prior to India's official announcement of its position."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that Itsa-Lichii, a young American Indian student just beginning school, was expelled after a few months due to the conflict between the length of his hair and the policy of the public school he attended. The writer describes that although his hairstyle followed traditional American Indian custom, the school superintendent did not make an exception to the rule. The entire incident affected Itsa-Lichee and his family for many years. The writer maintains that there are pros and cons to following a zero tolerance policy in public schools, however, many rules do not make exception for cultural or religious differences and values.

From the Paper
"About a month after being in school and doing well, Itsa-Lichee's mother was told by the principal that he would not be able to return to school the following Monday unless his hair was cut. There was a confrontation in the school hallway to which Itsa-Lichee's sister was a witness.
"It was a traumatic situation for both children. There were some teachers at the school who supported the family, but who did not speak up because they were afraid they would lose their jobs. Immediately after his expulsion, Itsa-Lichee was home-schooled for a few months. During that period he had a hard time making friends and approaching other children on the playground. While being home-schooled his parents continued searching for the right school and also planned to file a law suit. Eventually they found a school, but it took a few attempts for Itsa-Lichee to be placed in the right classroom. From the beginning of his year in Kindergarten until the end of that school year he was a student in four different rooms with four different teachers and students."
