This article’s title is “Inseparable Companions” and Irreconcilable Enemies: The Hurons and Odawas of French Detroit, 1701-38 and its author is Andrew Sturtevant. The thesis in this article is the sentence, “The Hurons ' and Odawas ' simmering hostility and eventual conflict demonstrate that native groups survived the Iroquois onslaught and that their interaction profoundly shaped the region”. In this article, Sturtevant is arguing that the Huron and Odawa are distinct nations with different culture and that because of the differences they had many disagreements, not simply because of the colonialism by the French. Sturtevant uses direct quotes from primary sources to show that the distinct nations fought because of their own differences,
MILLERSBURG — Despite a plea for leniency expressed by the victim, a Sugarcreek man was unable to overcome a long history of criminal convictions and a bond violation when a Holmes County judge on Wednesday sentenced him to prison for making unwanted phone calls and threats to several members of a family over a period of months. David Lamar Schrock, 43, of 2578 State Route 39, previously pleaded guilty in Holmes County Common Pleas Court to two counts of telephone harassment and one count of menacing by stalking. In exchange for his guilty plea, the state agreed to dismiss two additional counts of telephone harassment and three counts of menacing by stalking. The charges are made more serious because Schrock was convicted, in January 2016,
Many Aboriginals have tried to push for equality, as Maria’s father did when he was trying to unite the people and create “an organization that the government couldn’t ignore.” (73). However, this is largely not the case as many aboriginals are under represented or have been denied their entitlements through a fair court case. The unfair representation of Metis has caused those to give up and ridicule those who do, an example of such ridicule is when others of the community ridiculed Maria’s father for enacting for political change, sarcastically saying “Saskatchewan has a new Reil.” (74) As stated by Kelly L. Saunders in “the hunt for justice: Metis harvesting rights and the pursuit of self government”, “the governments denied that metis collectivities existed, denied that they were aboriginal, denied their aboriginal treaty rights, and denied that government had any legal obligations towards the Metis.”

Dear "Papery Newspaper," After I read your recent article, "Haywood Patterson Trial Strikes Again!" by Sophia Rowe, I felt the need to clarify what the article did not say. The public is ignorant to the significant problems that are being brought into our court every day and innocent lives are paying the price. This article specifically makes me angry and passionate for change. Many of you know about Judge Horton. He is a very fair and unbiased person, who has spoken many words of wisdom.
October, 1763 After years of fighting alongside the British, the battle over our homeland has finally ended. I still wonder, how did we end up fighting for something that has always been ours?

Avril Yanez World Studies Mrs. Fenrich 12 May 2024 The Impact of the Records and Programs The Nazi regime’s meticulous documentation systems played a central role in the execution of its inhumane policies during World War II. From the well-organized documentation of hundreds of thousands of prisoners in Auschwitz to the precise tracking of medical experiment results, these systems demonstrated an extreme level of administrative control. The detailed records left behind by Nazi officials have since become crucial tools in convicting perpetrators and to keep people from committing atrocities alike. The Nazi programs and documentation systems were so organized and extensively noted that they not only shaped the way World War II played out, but
The Europeans and the Iroquois caused drastic changes within the Iroquois society and their methodology of warfare (Snow, 1996). Even though their alliance extended across their combined territory, their alliance wasn’t unified toward its neighbors.

The Scopes Trial, a Tennessee legal case involving the teaching of evolution in public schools, induced a pivotal point in American history. This world-famous trial symbolizes the conflict between science and theology, faith and reason, individual liberty, and majority rule.

An object of profound publicity, the trial was identified as a battle between urban modernism and rural fundamentalism. On January 20, 1925, a Tennessee state senator, John A.
