Introduction
The indigenous people of Canada are the initial occupants of the present day Canada. They include the First Nations, Inuit and Métis. The indigenous people had a solid cultural health infrastructure even before the advent of modern medical system (Waldram, Herring & Young, 2000). The cultural health system had elements like midwifery, surgery, diagnosis and prescription principles. However, by the transition of the cultural health systems through periods of colonial influence, they have been significantly diluted.

One of the outward goals of the conference was to implement regulations on the rampant colonization of Africa in order to prevent the military conflict between the colonizing states.

African resistance to colonial powers has an extensive history that dates before the nineteenth century. The responses to colonial rule varied by location, religion, and resources that included both violent and nonviolent tactics. It is important to note that most rebellions were complex and strategically planned in the rising intolerance of colonial rule on the continent of Africa. Although Europeans aimed to divide and conquer, they did not always successfully change relationships among African communities who worked together in resistance.
Nonetheless, foreign colonial powers were successful in recruiting tribes to assist in conquering other tribes who were in conflict. ...

Introduction

When the Commonwealth of Australia was declared, it was heralded that this move would usher in a new era of prosperity, especially for the inhabitants of the expansive country. While this was welcomed by some nationals, especially those of British origin, the Aborigines were not excited all the same. This is because the declaration of the Commonwealth of Australia ushered in an era of racial oppression and dispossession, from an Aborigine perspective. Unlike other colonial territories under British rule, for instance Canada and New Zealand where land treaties were signed before their land was taken for colonial occupation, the occupation ...

Introduction

This paper is an endeavor to explain the rights and freedoms of people around the world, as they (such freedoms) cut across the social classes and prejudices. The arguments of the paper are based on the presumption that the concepts of freedom and equality are sometimes being suppressed in some parts of the world including the Middle East, Russia, and Canada (Charlton 18). Such inequalities in the application of freedoms and rights is what makes it hard for the Middle Eastern and Russian people, for instance, to extend greater tolerance and share the same social privileges. That is why ...

QUEST FOR A PROMISED LAND AND SECURITY IN THE SAHEL

The United Nations has clearly stated in the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples that indigenous peoples do have “the right to the lands, territories and resources which they have traditionally, owned, occupied or otherwise used or acquired.” The counter forces working against the rights of indigenous peoples are violent challenges in many parts of the world but particularly the southern hemispheres and even more particularly Africa.

Recurring droughts have brought great losses to ...
