Native Power in Colonial America

Although European empires sought to control Native people’s lands and lives in colonial North America, historians including Richard White and Pekka Hamalainen have demonstrated that Native societies were able to exercise considerable power in certain circumstances.

For this essay, describe the middle ground in the pays d’en haut (as depicted by Richard White) and the Comanche Empire in the Southwest plains (as depicted by Pekka Hamalainen), making sure to discuss

  1. ) The conditions that allowed each system to emerge
  2. ) How Native people exercised power in each system
  3. ) How European empires (New France and New Spain) attempted to exercise power in each system.

Based on your analysis, what political, environmental, cultural, or other factors helped Native people to exercise power in the colonial era?

  • Note: for this question, you may use only two readings—White and Hamalainen.

Data Visualization

This homework assignment has two parts. 

Part 1:  Find two examples, a good one and a bad one, of data visualizations used recently in the media. You can use any online source such as online newspapers, blogs, social media, etc. For each of the two visualizations, briefly describe (3-5 sentences) its features (what makes it good) and/or bugs (what makes it bad).  Create a document named

“Vizzes – YourPreferredName.docx” (e.g. “Vizzes – Zarko.docx”) that includes the two visualizations, or links to their original sources, and your descriptions.

 

Part 2:  Create three charts that visualize some aspects of the data about the 10 vizzes that we generated and collected (using DataViz Tinder form).  The raw data will be available on Sakai in the Data subfolder of Resources and is named “DataViz Votes.xlsx”.  Please, add any calculations and formulas to this file, in separate tabs, and include your charts in another tab named “My Vizzes”.  In this tab include your name as well as brief descriptions of the charts.  Please, submit the updated and renamed file as “DataViz Votes YourPreferredName.xlsx” workbook on Sakai.  To receive full credit, at least two of your visualizations should include data about the adjectives assigned to the 10 vizzes.

 

Deliverables:

  • “Vizzes – YourPreferredName.docx”
  • “DataViz Votes – YourPreferredName.xlsx”

Programming

Create a program that takes as input the names, the payroll number, the hours worked and the rates per hour paid for each employee.
The program should be able to calculate the monthly pay for each employee.
The pay per day for the employee is calculated by multiplying the hourly rate and the numbers of hours worked.
The program should be able to capture the details of at least 10 employees but should have the capability of allowing the user to exit before capturing the details of all 10 employees or to continue adding more details of employees after reaching the minimum number of 10.

The details of the employees and their monthly pay should be saved in a text file.

Overpass Analysis

The goal of this assignment is to identify the project’s stakeholders and the sources of tensions and conflicts that arise from infrastructure projects, and describe how owners’ property rights, responsibilities, and constraints interact with the government and the `common good’ to produce inequities where some lose and some win. Please only refer to the resources provided

Step 1: Background information

Step 2: Submission

Write an essay (4 pages maximum) that includes:

– A brief (intro) description of the story: what happened? who was involved? what was the outcome?

– Who were the stakeholders then and what did they care about?

– What is the rationale behind this project? What economic factors played a role in the project’s conception?

– How did the government obtain the land for the project?

– Who benefitted before and who benefits today from the overpass and its location?

  • * Explain the positive economic impact of the overpass.
  • * Did the project have positive impacts on real estate prices or development in New Orleans? If yes, explain who benefitted and why. If no, explain why.

– Who lost and who loses today because of the overpass and its location? why?

  • Explain the negative economic impact of the overpass
  • Explain how the overpass affected property rights for those living near it when it was built and how it affects neighbors today.

– Who are the stakeholders today and why do they care about this piece of infrastructure?

– We are now beyond the project’s life span of 40 years, and several proposals were made to revitalize the N. Claiborne District, including some that call for the removal of the overpass. Which proposal would you support and why?
