History

anastassius [24]2 years ago

Depends on if you understand Dharma as “religion” or “ethics” and which society you’re talking about.

I personally do not think that ethics is inseparable from religion.

In the Western countries religion is declining but ethical awareness is rising. So the “Social Justice” movement is growing exponentially (and over compensating I would say in its fanatical extremism) - but the nature of life is to swing to extremes before settling in the middle. (We just need to be vigilant with over-correction which can also degenerate into dystopia!)

So modern societies are more just, more free, more humane, more equitable, more kind, more compassionate, more altruistic than ever before. The environmental movement is growing by the day more and more people are becoming vegans - when Macdonalds starts offering vegi-burgers you know change is in the winds!!

Hundreds of thousands of ordinary people are striving every day for the common good (which is what Dharma is all about).

I see about me mostly goodness, kindness, generosity and compassion. So Dharma is alive and well and doing just fine.

The eastern woodland native american group was the first to encounter whom?
Ket [755]
The Eastern Woodlands is a cultural area of the indigenous people of North America. The Eastern Woodlands extended roughly from the Atlantic Ocean to the eastern Great Plains, and from the Great Lakes region to the Gulf of Mexico, which is now occupied by the eastern United States and Canada.[1] The Plains Indians culture area is to the west; the Subarctic area to the north. The Indigenous people of the Eastern Woodlands spoke languages belonging to several language groups, including Algonquian,[2] Iroquoian,[2] Muskogean, and Siouan, as well as apparently isolated languages such as Calusa, Chitimacha, Natchez, Timucua, Tunica and Yuchi.
The earliest known inhabitants of the Eastern Woodlands were the Adena and Hopewell, who inhabited the Ohio and Mississippi river valleys between 800 BC and 800 AD.[3] These tribes, as well as the other Iroquoian-speaking people, were mound builders.[4] They also relied on farming to produce food because of the fertile land in the Ohio and Mississippi river valleys.[4] Because of this reliance on farming, these tribes did not migrate like the more northern Eastern Woodlands tribes and instead stayed in one place, which resulted in them developing new social and political structures.[5]
The Eastern Woodlands tribes located further north (Algonquian-speaking people) relied heavily on hunting to acquire food.[4] These tribes did not plant many crops, however, some tribes, such as the Ojibwe, grew wild rice and relied on it as one of their major food sources.[2] The type of animals these tribes hunted depended on the geographic location of the tribe.[5] For example, the tribes located close to the coast hunted seals, porpoises, and whales, while the more inland tribes hunted deer, moose, and caribou.[2][6] The meat was then either cooked to be eaten immediately or it was smoke-dried which preserved the meat for later consumption.[6]

What can you infer about the American attitude toward Latinos and native Americans?
Cloud [144]

In general terms one can think of expansionism, that is occupying land that were deamed not productive in order to cultivate or explore -- onje can check the American expansion to the West, this shows that the settlers had little to no regard to the first settlers.

After the consolidation of the American territory, latinos and native Americans were relegaded as second class citizens, along with ex-slaves, most lations and Afroamericans occupied big centers but mostly in the outskirts, and Native Americans now are over 5 million people, a few more than a half this number live in Alaska alone.

Nowadays there is the problem with the border with Mexico and one can say that there is justified fear of human traficking and smuggling with immigrants who seek a better life in the US, the problem is, there are good people who want to work and prosper in the US but they are blended together with evil-doers, still showing a general suspicion to Latinos as a group.
