Running head: SHORTENED TITLE UP TO 50 CHARACTERS 1 Indigenous Resistance Athabasca University Tutor Kathy Bent Course Code INS 420 Article Response
SHORTENED TITLE UP TO 50 CHARACTERS 2 In the article “Travelling Down the River of Life Together In Peace and Friendship, Forever “Hill (2008) depicts the Haudenosaunee (means the people of the roundhouse and attempts to utilize the word Iroquois since some Haudenosaunee find it hostile furthermore, the word alludes to only the Mohawk countries and not each of the six countries’ gatherings) land and environmental ethics, how those morals guide associations with any remaining creatures, and the centrality of those morals to the arrangement connections of the Kaswentha (Two Row Wampum) and the Covent Chain. By learning from our shared past, Canada and the United States can come up with a respectful way to interact with the Haudenosaunee. Hill argues that reaffirming and upholding earlier agreements between Indigenous people and government, as well as putting Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) land ethics into practice, can partially repair colonial damage (Hill,2008). Hill writes about the creation to supply background on the Haudenosaunee people’s origins of land ethics (Hill, 2008). The examples of the creation story, likewise, called the first directions, are various. Many of them have to do with environmental and land ethics. The Haudenosaunee agreed that they would share the forest, land, and water resources instead of fighting over hunting resources. Hill (2008) talks about the Gaiwiyo epic, which is about a man who saw colonialism coming and said that the Haudenosaunee needed to prioritize their traditional culture and ceremonies to protect themselves. Hill (2008) also writes about trade agreements that the Haudenosaunee made with the Dutch in the 1600s and later with the British. The "Covenant Chain"(alliances between the Crown and the Haudenosaunee and the Seven Nations of Canada) came to be a symbol of friendship and a way to express regret for mistakes made in treaties between Indigenous people and the state in the past. Hill likewise calls attention to the Albany Treaty, which was endorsed

The Oshkimaadiziig (means the New Life People) intended to appear and restore the traditional ways of Indigenous people during a time of cultural decline and colonization, according to the prophecy of the seventh fire that Simpson (2008) cites in her work. As shown by Benton-Banai, a variety of the seventh fire forecast expected that the Indigenous Canadian individuals would need to go far away profoundly and genuinely if they somehow managed to endure colonization. It is agreed that “The people were so many and powerful that if one was to climb the highest mountain and look in all directions, they would not be able to see the end of the nation” (Benton-Banai, 1988, p-94-95). A delineation of association and Indigenous strategies for obstruction ethically like the sagas portrayed in Hill's piece is Ladner’s (2008) understanding of the harmony story. In the Akwesasne Notes (1978), the Peacemaker is also mentioned, along with how he restored authority, reason, and justice, thus influencing the Haudenosaunee People's ideas. One thing all these oral histories have in common is that they all emphasize the advantages of caring for the land, uniting as a people, and viewing the world through an Indigenous cultural perspective. Indigenous government frameworks have been gone after by pioneers, who likewise have effectively kept most indigenous individuals under Euro-American civilization's current convictions and frameworks (Simpson, 2014). Indigenous individuals have effectively taken part in various types of opposition predictable with their goals. There are several facts and ways in which Indigenous resistance runs.
