Their Own Cotton The Indian People
516 wordsMohandas Ghandi was the source of many changes throughout, India, Britain, and the world. With all that Ghandi has done in our world it becomes overwhelming when I think about his life. What Ghandi did in terms of opening the minds of the people of India is almost analogous to what Christ did to open the minds of the people around him. With all that can be said about Ghandi, I would like to focus upon his economic impact in Britain and India. Britain's self-glorifying empire building was a great...

View Of The Modern Indian Culture
467 words"James Luna, A Native American Man", is an insightful, cut the bullshit, view of the modern Indian culture. I identify with Luna's viewpoints as I have seen many of the situations he describes with his art to be true to life. I have spent a lot of time in Northern Canada fishing with my brother and father. The areas we visit are predominantly Indian reservations. Having spent quite a bit of time getting to know these types of towns and people, I have grown aware of some of the many problems that...

Indian People
604 wordsA Man Called Horse I have viewed the film, A Man Called Horse, and when asked if I would want to be depicted as the Indian people were in this movie I would say that I would be proud to be a part of that way of life. The Indian people were proud of what they were and things were sacred to them like nothing is to us today. Some argue of there barbaric-like ways when in fact they have just not yet been infected by the advances we have now. I wish my life was similar to their way of living. The peo...

Great Movie
299 wordsTo tell you the truth, before I saw this movie I thought that it was going to be really boring and not very good. Surprisingly the movie 'Smoke Signals' was a great movie.

It also showed that many of the Indians do not have a lot of money and while they are living on the Rez money is not that big of an issue. My...

869 words"There was another civil war, another terrorist bomb exploded, and one more plane crashes and all aboard were presumed dead.
