For example, the Native American tribes meet at powwow dances to tell stories of myths and legends from their culture, stories of their warriors, and to remember and share their experiences with future generations. Another example is of Argentina’s culture, their dance being the Argentine

The group is gaining popularity through their videos and Director Sterlin Harjo has played a small part in some of the filmmaking process. The 1491s’ short films use sarcasm, critiques of non-native Americans, and white society’s expectations of what qualifies as Indian culture. Economic, social, and political issues are used as a template for The 1491s commentary on modern day race relations
have little to no knowledge of Native American culture and the conditions in which they still live today. The story “This Is What It Means to Say Phoenix, Arizona” shows Native American reservation life through the reconnection between cousins Victor and Thomas. The Main character Victor finds a part of himself that he had lost when he unexpectedly receives a blessing in disguise that is Thomas Builds-The-Fire. I initially chose the story, because the term Native American triggered a curiosity within
(Gerler, 1990). On a deeper level, counselors should be aware of transmitting their own cultural vision when connecting with their clients. When counseling with different cultures it is imperative that counselors keep an open mind and ignore any possible biases.

There were vast differences in culture between these incomers. Their lives evolved around family living in small communities and they were very self-sufficient in various ways.

The federal government and the Native Americans have butted heads on how to teach our children. Our culture and language could influence our education to have better scores on the standardized test. They share their case study results from schools that had the Culture Based Education. The Choctaw Nation has taken action to prevent
Assimilation for Native Americans happened around the late 19th century and early 20th century. Cultural genocide was part of assimilation. The US separated families and broke all of the treaties made in the first place. The first way was through federal franchising and forcing Christianity upon the Native Americans. The new settlers forced religion, boarding schools, and language onto them (Harjo 1999). They also
Native American dance versus Middle Eastern dance is obviously very different culturally and for other reasons as well. However, through research and my basic understanding and knowledge of the two different dance forms I came to realize they do share a lot of similarities and commonality. Both dances are a large part of the lives of people who perform them, for both enjoyment and duty. I discuss in this paper the purpose of the dances and their influences, the costumes of the dancers and their evolution
