Abstract
This paper will discuss the demise of the Californian Indians that populated much of the territory before the white men came in to the country. The issues that will be explored in this paper will deal with certain tribes and how they were exterminated from the Californian coast because of land problems (dealing with gold), technology, cultural weaknesses and other sources of man-made manifest destiny (such as warfare) that Americans took out on these tribes. By understanding the scope of history that surrounds the fall of the Indian tribes of California, we can see how they were cajoled into accepting an inferior rank to the white settlers that slowly, but surely, removed them from the land that was once theirs.

Abstract

By revealing the different ways that this was achieved, we can see the work and techniques that drove the new country and how this was created by the political, as well as ideological ramifications of their labors. With all of these contributions to the new country of the United States, we see that the formation of the world power was built on the principles that the early settlers created in their work.

Abstract
Huichol Indians in Latin America use the controlled drug, Peyote, during their religious rituals because of its psychoactive properties. Peyotism also invaded North America during the 20th century and the use of this plant as a drug increased dramatically here during the sixties decade when hippies experimented with various drugs in their quest for an alternative lifestyle. Peyote is an important part of Huichol rituals because it forms the Trinity, of which, Fire and Deer are the other two components.

Abstract
This paper helps the reader to see the cultures of the Inuit and the Cree of Mistassini at the micro level, in the light of the "total institutions" described by Goffman in "Asylums". (1991) When describing social establishments of the kind, Goffman comments that, "every institution captures something of the time and interest of its members and provides something of a world for them; in brief, every institution has encompassing tendencies". (1991, 15) Current industrialized societies have a way of compartmentalizing different aspects of human life and interaction. (1991, 17).
