This stuck out to me because the issue isn't that the natives , but rather their history with our country. From my knowledge, Native traditions have a lot to do with ancestors and if their ancestors were disrespected and outright almost brought to genocide, I'm sure they would not have trust for the ones who inflicted such pain on the Natives' ancestors.<br /><br />Jonathan S.Jonathan Sancheznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595859379914711075.post-5681567371918706352019-05-12T21:45:53.219-05:002019-05-12T21:45:53.219-05:00The Native American issue from page 180 stood out ...The Native American issue from page 180 stood out to me the most. Lyman writes, "It's a trust thing. I don't blame any Navajo personally who doesn't trust the white community, the federal community, the county." Being a black minority myself, their struggle with the white community is relatable. Native Americans weren't treated well in U.S. history and because of those experiences, it can be difficult to even want to unite with the white community.Shaina Falknerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11408861740704786319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595859379914711075.post-77044137505544867152019-05-08T15:49:10.431-05:002019-05-08T15:49:10.431-05:00As I was reading this article, the question at the...As I was reading this article, the question at the bottom of page 169 stood out to me the most. To sacrifice everything on is trying to save, it makes the sacrifice in vain. It makes the decision Bishop has to make all the much harder.

First of all, its a problem that that's how the author describes it. But most importantly, its crazy to think about the history of Native Americans and how they are now somewhat confined to acres of land in a random state. I don't blame Native Americans for not having trust in this country and the white community either.

It really emphasizes that need to act now because they might not get the chance again to save the land. The issue shows how quickly they most act and the going back and forth with negotiations is wasting important time.

In the article it reads " Because of a general lack of outreach, but also by they own choosing only a few Native Americans participated in the country's grand bargain planning.

Also, someone mentions how they wouldn't be surprised if Native Americans lacked trust for white people. This highlights how they were treated harshly and that still impacts them today. It reminds me how much history affects the world we live in today, which seems like common sense, but really is something that is often overlooked. We are writing history right now, and what we write is changing and affecting the future.

I think this stood out to me because I was unaware of this law prior to the reading and I wouldn’t have considered it a dealbreaker for the plans. I also found it interesting that they mentioned the trust issues between Native Americans and “the white community, the federal community, the country” (180). It was interesting to read that so much of the county’s land was reservation land and yet there was a general lack of outreach to the Native Americans regarding the planning.Kendall Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17546498385208929893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595859379914711075.post-40657828116740501442019-04-27T13:57:55.686-05:002019-04-27T13:57:55.686-05:00I thought the biggest hurdle had to be the problem...I thought the biggest hurdle had to be the problems with Native Americans on page 180. Because of the high demographic of them, making sure that everyone can agree on specific terms can be quite the hassle. Not to mention there's a lot of history between Native Americans and the reclaiming of land, so the whole situation can be seen as a touchy subject.

This is because history seems to keep repeating itself. If someone has taken things from you many times in the past, there would be trust issues associated with that person. As stated on page 180 only a few of the Native Americans participated in the grand-bargain planning.

The quote read,"Because of a general lack of outreach, but also by their own choosing, only a few Native Americans participated in the county's grand-bargain planning”. I think that this is extremely important because it shows the governments lack of effort to really help Native Americans with their rights and benefits within the United States. It kind of makes me think that the government doesn’t want to continually protect and preserve Native American land.gabbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07087991653320848888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595859379914711075.post-50607497292344786602019-04-23T14:04:58.518-05:002019-04-23T14:04:58.518-05:00The one major challenges that stood out came from ...The one major challenges that stood out came from page 180 "I don't blame any Navajo personally who doesn't trust the white community, the federal community, the country”.

I knew people once had to negotiate for land, but I was not aware it was still going on today. One issue that stood out to me the most was the quote on page 177 that stares, "And we want to protect them as soon as possible, because if you wait 10 years of 15 years or 20 years, that place may not be protectable..." (177). This was something that stood out to me because protecting the Earth is so important. This statement can be tied directly to climate change and people polluting the Earth if the land isn’t used in a safe way. Now more than ever it is important to protect all the land we can from being destroyed, while we also work on putting the land back together that has already been destroyed.

Solomon stated that in the attempt to assure land preservation, environmental groups would often trade poorly with public lands -"shutting out dissent, undercutting their conservation mission, and even eroding bedrock environmental laws." <br /><br />I found it shocking that environment groups weren't more careful of how they would negotiate land as these trades can greatly affect our environment. The fact that they willingly got rid of certain environmental laws and didn't try to negotiate properly with others is surprising since there main goal is to improve the quality of our environment in any way, so getting rid of those laws seems to go against that goal and will be detrimental to our environment.Alliyah M.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595859379914711075.post-88044619196603523952019-04-23T01:45:13.129-05:002019-04-23T01:45:13.129-05:00When the text talked about congress and controvers...When the text talked about congress and controversial issues leading to inaction (174), I believe that was a message that applies to not only the situations in text but many present day current events as well.

If one were to look back in history, Native Americans had land taken from them by whites. It was a place they called home, and white Americans took it from them and claimed it as their own. Therefore, it comes as no surprise they aren't very willing to trust the county or white Americans even in present day. This stood out to me because many fail to realize historical events do still affect the lives of many today.
