Ch 15 discussion 2 response - Assignment Example

CH 15 DISCUSSION 2 RESPONSE Response to Josh I find your post very insightful especially with reference to how you acknowledge the act of preserving culture and the rich history of the tribes of Chumash and Chinook. I am confident that such practice of appreciating and preserving our cultural values must be promoted today.In terms of how mining should be approached today, I shared a similar opinion with you that it will be necessary to continue mining. What I would like to add to your opinion however has to be the need for us to approach mining in a more environmentally friendly manner.

I really appreciate the way you used evidence from the book to justify ways in which the Native Americans were abused against their common rights such as the violation of treaties that were made initially protect them. I believe that such actions were not fair then and cannot be considered fair if they happen today.Response to Samantha Whiles selecting the tribes for discussion, you paid homage to a tribe whose activities has been the foundation of America’s agricultural value till date and that is the Anasazi Indians.

I believe that agriculture has remained an important part of America and its growth cannot be overlooked today.You opine that the value given to jewelry be reduced but I would differ with you on this. My reason is that value is not given to jewelry merely for its ornamental qualities but for the economic value it gives to our economy and so instead of abandoning it, we should rather look at ways of engaging in healthy mining.Under no circumstance can someone claiming the property of another person be regarded as right and so I agree perfectly with you on the position that the Native Americans were treated unfairly because the Whites took their lands from them unjustifiably.
