1. How has hydroelectric development on the northern Plains, especially along the Missouri River, affected Indigenous communities? What were the reasons behind this type of energy development? Discuss examples from at least two communities/Reservations.
2. In the early 1800s, the three groups of the Blackfoot-speaking peoples interacted with US-American and Montreal-based traders, as well as the Hudsons Bay Company. Discuss and compare the approaches and motivations of the Pikani (Piegan/Peigan), Siksika (Blackfoot) and the Kainah (Blood) in their dealings with these groups of outsiders from the 1790s to the 1830s.
3. After the Civil War in the United States, from 1861 to 1865, relations between Indigenous Peoples on the Northern Plains and non-Indigenous peoples changed, for example in regard to trade and military relations. How did the shift from bison robes to bison hides as a major trade item influence these developments?
4. Compare and contrast major differences and similarities between the Mtis resistances of 1869/70 in Manitoba and 1885 in Saskatchewan. Why was the Canadian government less willing to negotiate with the Mtis in 1885?
5. How did Indigenous cultures of the Plains/Parkland regions influence the culture(s), economies and social structures of the Red River Mtis? Provide specific examples from the areas of material culture, social organization and subsistence patterns to exemplify this influence.
6. The Plains Cree leader Big Bear tried in various ways to create a unified political voice for his people. Discuss and explain his plans to bring about a political and economic strengthening of the Plains Cree and ultimately other Indigenous peoples, too. How did the Canadian government react to these efforts and why?

It’s 4 different blog on 4 different subject, each needs to be 400 words. I gave you all the instruction in the link documents.
Blog 1 : CSR sustainability
Pick a small company with which you are familiar
Family business
Local restaurant or cafe
Local grocery store
Car rental
Last mile delivery service
and determine which kinds of social sustainability indicators would be appropriate to measure; why the company should choose to report on these indicators as opposed to others; and how they would organise their continuous monitoring
Two paragraphs should also be written about which indicators your company may chose not to monitor, and why not
Blog 2 :
Choose one of the companies below and take ca. 20 minutes to do an online search of different articles speaking to the kinds of misbehaviour referenced in the list below.
Then answer the following questions:
What caused the company’s misbehaviour?
How justifiable were/are the company’s behaviour?
What are the factors determining whether the misbehaviour is likely to re-occur or not?
Airbus, Siemens, Halliburton, Walmart (in Mexico), GlaxoSmithKline (in China)
Payment of bribes (2000s-2010s)
Google, Amazon, Starbucks
Tax avoidance (2010s)
Blog 3 : Amazon dams activity
Start by reading the four brief articles associated with this activity. There are different points of view regarding the sustainability of Brazil’s Amazon dam building efforts, including the economic interests of developing Brazil’s hydroelectricity capacities; jobs building the dams; the destruction of local indigenous people’s living environment; and the dams’ environmental footprint.
After the reading, write a few paragraphs expressing your opinion whether the Brazilian government is right to pursue this Amazon dam-building activity or not. Try to speak to the different point of views involved, with special emphasis on weighing the social sustainability effects vs. the environmental sustainability effects. Then take some time to read and respond to fellow students’ thoughts on this case study
Blog 4 : Labour practices debate
Start this exercise by reading these three recent articles – it should take you no more than 10-12 minutes. The impression they give is that companies are infringing far too often on workers’ rights, relating in these articles to overtime payments, safety at work post-Covid and gender discrimination. Reflect upon this point of view and whether it matches your impressions of the way most companies treat their workforce. Write up your thoughts and justify them in a few paragraphs.
