"Nurdin died after he was slashed and stabbed repeatedly by two men, who were revealed to have been paid by Nurdin's business rival to attack him.",

"One of them, a Malaysian named '''Loh Yoon Seong''' (罗勇向 Luó Yǒngxiàng), was found guilty of murdering Nurdin and sentenced to death, while the other, a Singaporean named '''Tan Swee Hoon''' (陈瑞云 Chén Rùiyún), pleaded guilty to manslaughter and for having killed Nurdin and committed an armed robbery while on the run, Tan was jailed for 23 years and given 24 strokes of the cane."
],
[
"Murder",
"On 14 November 1985, a man was attacked by two armed assailants at the South East Asia Hotel along Waterloo Street, Singapore.The victim was 33-year-old Nurdin Nguan Song, a Chinese-Indonesian and fish merchant who came from Tanjong Pinang of the Indonesian Rhio Islands and often supplied fish to fishmongers in Singapore.",
"At the time of his death, Nurdin was on a holiday and stayed at the hotel with his 18-year-old second wife Heng Eng Booi, with whom Nurdin had a two-year-old son.",
"Nurdin was apparently attacked after he opened the door, responding to a supposed room service.",
"Heng witnessed the attack and she ran out of the room seeking help.",
"A 43-year-old hotel manager Lim Tee Teng witnessed Heng running while calling for help, and he later on witnessed the two attackers escaping the hotel.",
"Lim tried to stop one of the attackers by grabbing him, but the man, who reportedly carried a parang, slashed Lim on the arm once and inflicted another two slash wounds on his head.",
"Lim managed to survive the assault, but Nurdin, who sustained at least nine wounds on his head, hands and body, died shortly after he arrived at a hospital.Further background information revealed that Nurdin's first wife was residing in Indonesia, and Nurdin had four more children (two sons and two daughters) with his first wife.",
"Nurdin's second wife was distraught over the incident, and both she and Nurdin's first wife cried at the death of their husband, and they reportedly wanted justice to be served.The police classified the case as murder and they set out a manhunt for possible suspects responsible for the killing.",
"They speculated the motive to be a possible revenge instead of robbery, as the cash and valuables belonging to the couple were left untouched by the murderers.",
"The police recovered a brown bag, which was dropped by one of the killers during his struggle with the hotel manager Lim.",
"Based on the identity card and other contents of the bag, the police managed to establish the identity of one of the assailants, who was identified as Loh Yoon Seong, a Malaysian from Ipoh who worked as a fitter in Singapore.",
"However, Loh had left Singapore by the time his identity was established, and he was therefore placed on the wanted list for the murder of Nurdin Nguan Song, while the police continued to investigate to identify the other attacker."

"It turned out that two days earlier, a man carrying a passport belonging to Loh was arrested at the Woodlands Checkpoint, and the man, who was a friend of Loh, told the police that he was entrusted by Loh to use his passport to enter Singapore and see if it was still safe for him to re-enter Singapore.",
"This allowed the authorities to obtain information of his whereabouts and led to his arrest in Malaysia and subsequent extradition to Singapore on 28 January 1988, where he was expected to be charged with murder.On 29 January 1988, 30-year-old Loh Yoon Seong was officially charged with murdering Nurdin Nguan Song back in 1985.Loh was the first person to be charged in the case, although at that point of time, his accomplice was still at large for the killing.On 10 May 1988, after a preliminary hearing, Loh's case was transferred to the High Court for trial hearing on a date to be decided.===Court proceedings===On 2 July 1988, Loh Yoon Seong stood trial for one count of murder at the High Court.",
"Loh was represented by Chen Zhen Xiang while the prosecution was led by Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) Seng Kwang Boon.",
"The trial was presided by Justice T S Sinnathuray and Judicial Commissioner M Karthigesu.The trial court was told that before the murder, Nurdin had a business dispute with his rival and another Indonesian fish trader, who went by his nickname \"Tee Tee\", and out of hatred towards Nurdin, \"Tee Tee\" hired a man to help him attack Nurdin to \"teach him a lesson\".",
"In turn, the hired assailant enlisted the help of Loh to attack Nurdin, which ultimately resulted in Nurdin's death.",
"At that point of time, Loh's accomplice, as well as the alleged mastermind \"Tee Tee\", remained at large for the murder.On the night of 13 November 1985, after tracing Nurdin's whereabouts to a hotel at Waterloo Street, where he was staying with his second wife, and finding out the room where the couple stayed, Loh and his accomplice armed themselves with a parang and metal file respectively, and went to the hotel to initiate their planned attack.",
"Both men knocked on the door of Nurdin's room, pretending to be hotel staff wanting to replenish the drinking water of the room, and Nurdin opened the door after falling to their ruse.",
"Upon entry, Loh and his accomplice rushed in and mercilessly attacked Nurdin, who was taken by surprise and got stabbed and slashed by the two attackers.",
"Nurdin's second wife witnessed the attack but was left unharmed throughout.",
"As a result of the brutal attack, Nurdin died.",
"An autopsy revealed that Nurdin sustained nine slash wounds and four stab wounds on the chest, head and hands, and the cause of his death was a stab wound to his heart.In his defense, Loh stated he only wanted to teach Nurdin a lesson on the orders of \"Tee Tee\" and he never intended to cause death but only to injure Nurdin.",
"This was, however, rebutted by the prosecution, as they argued that Loh and his accomplice had armed themselves with dangerous weapons beforehand, and this led to an inference that both men had the intention to commit murder, and hence they sought a guilty verdict of murder for Loh.===Verdict===On 10 July 1990, after a trial lasting five days, Judicial Commissioner M Karthigesu and Justice T S Sinnathuray delivered their verdict.In their verdict, the two trial judges agreed with the prosecution that Loh and the missing accomplice had the intent to commit murder, given that they had armed themselves with lethal weapons as part of their plan to go after Nurdin on the orders of \"Tee Tee\".",
"Due to this, they rejected Loh's defence of not having the intent to cause death during the attack, and since the attack was intentional and it led to the death of Nurdin, both Judicial Commissioner Karthigesu and Justice Sinnathuray concluded that there were sufficient grounds to return with a guilty verdict of murder in Loh's case.As such, 32-year-old Loh Yoon Seong was found guilty of murder and sentenced to death.",
"Under Singaporean law, a person convicted of murder would be given the mandatory death penalty, and it would be carried out by long drop hanging, the standard execution method in Singapore.",
"Loh's godmother was the only family member present at the hearing when the death penalty was pronounced, and she was saddened at the verdict.",
"Loh himself was reportedly silent and despondent at the judgement.===Loh's appeal===After he was sentenced to hang, Loh filed an appeal against his death sentence and murder conviction.",
"However, on 25 October 1991, Loh's appeal was rejected by the Court of Appeal, after the three appellate judges - Chief Justice Yong Pung How, Justice S. Rajendran and Justice Goh Joon Seng - rejected his defences against the murder charge.",
"The prosecution had also argued prior in the appeal hearing that Loh's actions of stabbing Nurdin with a knife intentionally and having caused Nurdin's death from the stabbing were in line with Section 300(c) of the Penal Code, which defined murder as an act of intentionally inflicting an injury sufficient in the ordinary course of nature to cause death, and there was no need to prove any motive or any intent to cause death in order to convict a person of murder.",
"With his death sentence upheld, Loh remained on death row awaiting his execution, and while he did so, his accomplice was arrested less than a year after he lost the appeal."
],
[
"Trial of Tan Swee Hoon",
"===Tan's arrest===Tan Swee Hoon, who lived seven years as a fugitive before his arrest for Nurdin's murderSeven years after the murder of Nurdin Nguan Song, Loh Yoon Seong's accomplice was finally arrested in March 1992.The second suspect, identified as 40-year-old Singaporean and freelance welder Tan Swee Hoon (alias Raymond Tan), was arrested for an armed robbery case and the police managed to uncover his involvement behind the murder of Nurdin.",
"This revelation led to Tan being charged with murder after his arrest.",
"As for the other case which Tan was caught for, he had committed armed robbery in February 1992 with two other people.",
"The facts of the robbery was that Tan and a gunman named Hoo Kek Fu had robbed a pair of brothers, Neo Ban San and Neo Ban Hin, on gunpoint at Lim Chu Kang.",
"Both men managed to steal at least S$17,500, a wallet and a handphone from the brothers and they escaped with the help of a third man Lim Loo Kok.",
"Therefore, Tan was charged with two counts of armed robbery for robbing the Neo brothers while armed with an axe, and remanded while awaiting trial for armed robbery and murder.51-year-old Hoo Kek Fu, the gunman who helped Tan commit the robbery, was found guilty and sentenced in August 1992 to seven years' preventive detention, a special type of imprisonment for recalcitrant offenders aged 30 and above and with three or more previous convictions.",
"Hoo's detention order was increased to 20 years upon the prosecution's appeal in November 1992.As for 35-year-old Lim Loo Kok, the third accomplice, he was tried in September 1992 and sentenced to 12 strokes of the cane and a jail term of five years and six months for the charge of abetting both Tan and Hoo to commit the robbery and their escape.",
"A fourth man, 51-year-old Lee Hai Chue, was given a five-year jail term in August 1992 for providing Hoo with a revolver to commit the robbery.===Plea of guilt and sentencing===On 18 June 1993, Tan pleaded guilty to two armed robbery charges for robbing the Neo brothers, as well as a reduced charge of culpable homicide not amounting to murder (or manslaughter) for killing Nurdin back in 1985, after the prosecution agreed to the defence's request to reduce the murder charge, which ultimately allowed Tan to escape the death penalty for murdering Nurdin.Deputy Public Prosecutor P O Ram argued that Tan should be sentenced to the maximum penalty of life imprisonment, on the grounds that he had committed multiple violent offences and a harsh punishment was warranted.",
"In response, Tan's defence counsel Michael Teo and Liew Chen Mine argued that Tan should not be jailed for the rest of his natural life and it would be unfair to have the other jail terms for armed robbery to run consecutively with a life sentence for manslaughter, and this led to the trial court inquiring the prosecution about whether life imprisonment was supposed to be a jail term of 20 years or the remainder of one's natural life, causing the trial session to be adjourned for five days to allow the prosecution time to make a reply.",
"In fact, before the landmark appeal of Abdul Nasir Amer Hamsah on 20 August 1997, life imprisonment in Singapore was considered as a jail term of 20 years instead of natural life.The prosecution however, did not reply, and instead, during the resumption of the trial, they re-submitted that Tan should serve the maximum sentence of 20 years' preventive detention for the offences he had been convicted for, and they no longer urged the court to sentence Tan to life in prison.",
"Tan, who was widowed with one 17-year-old son, pleaded for leniency and stated that he had become a Christian while in prison and deeply regretted his actions, and hoped to be a useful member of society before he became too old.On 23 June 1993, Judicial Commissioner M P H Rubin delivered his verdict on sentence.",
"He stated that there was a need for harsh punishments on those who were prone to violence and they should not be expected to be treated with leniency.",
"He also pointed out that Tan was armed with dangerous weapons for both the killing of Nurdin and robbery of the Neo brothers, and Tan had ruthlessly resorted to violence in the case of Nurdin, which ended with the death of Nurdin in cold blood.",
"Judicial Commissioner Rubin, however, accepted that Tan was ashamed and remorseful, and had pleaded guilty.",
"Therefore, the judge imposed a sentence of ten years' jail and 12 strokes of the cane for the manslaughter charge, therefore sparing Tan from both life imprisonment and preventive detention.",
"He also imposed seven years' jail and 12 strokes of the cane for the first count of armed robbery and another six years for the second count of armed robbery, and ordered the jail terms to run consecutively from the date of Tan's arrest.",
"In total, 41-year-old Tan Swee Hoon was sentenced to 23 years' imprisonment and 24 strokes of the cane."
],
[
"Fates of Tan and Loh",
"During the time when Tan Swee Hoon's trial was ongoing, it was confirmed through the Chinese newspapers that Loh Yoon Seong remained incarcerated on death row at Changi Prison as of June 1993.Authorities also told the press that Loh's death sentence would be carried out on a date to be decided after the conclusion of Tan's manslaughter trial.",
"Since then, Loh was hanged in Changi Prison on an unknown date for murdering Nurdin.In the meantime, Tan was incarcerated at Changi Prison, where he served his sentence of 23 years with effect from the date of his arrest in 1992.Tan maintained good behaviour while in prison, and he was therefore granted parole and released in 2007 after spending 15 years and a few months behind bars.",
"He joined a non-profit organization that was aimed to help ex-convicts and former drug addicts to rehabilitate and reintegrate into society.",
"Tan, who eventually became a staff member of the group, shared his story several years after joining the group.",
"He stated that after leaving school in Secondary Three, he joined a gang at age 17 and therefore committed many offences, including armed robbery and rioting, and had at one point, sentenced to reformative training on two occasions.",
"Tan also revealed his first experience with Christianity was when he met the late Reverend Khoo Seow Hua (a famous pastor of Singapore), but he never became a Christian until the time when he was caught for the murder of Nurdin Nguan Song.Tan recounted that he was initially informed by the police that the prosecution was willing to bring down his murder charge to manslaughter, which brought him relief, but later on the same day, Tan's hopes were dashed when the same police investigator relayed to him that the Attorney-General rejected the prosecution's request, stating that since Loh was given the death penalty, Tan should also head to the gallows for the crime.",
"Tan stated that he was devastated and lost hope after the sudden turn of events, but he eventually turned to Christianity and became devoted to his newfound faith.",
"Through the religious guidance he received, Tan gradually grew remorseful and realized the error of his ways, and was willing to face any consequences for his actions.",
"Tan said that after his arrest for murder, he reconnected with his sister, with whom he used to share a strained relationship, and he was also relieved after his lawyer successfully requested for the reduction of his murder charge.",
"It was further revealed that in 2012, Tan, then 59 years old, was married with a woman from China, and since then, the couple continued to help other ex-offenders like Tan to rebuild their lives and guide them with religion."

[
"Aftermath",
"In 1994, Singaporean crime show ''Crimewatch'' re-enacted the murder of Nurdin Nguan Song, as well as re-enacting the crimes that one of the perpetrators, Tan Swee Hoon, committed during the seven years he spent on the run from the authorities for the murder.As of today, Nurdin's business rival, \"Tee Tee\", who allegedly put a hit on Nurdin and hired both Tan and Loh to kill Nurdin, was never found."

"Racism against Native Americans in the United States"
],
[
"Introduction",
"Pupils at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, Pennsylvania (c. 1900).Both during and after the colonial era in American history, white settlers engaged in prolonged conflicts with Native Americans in the United States, seeking to displace them and seize their lands, resulting in Native American enslavement and forced assimilation into settler culture.",
"The 19th century witnessed a surge in efforts to forcibly remove certain Native American nations, while those who remained faced systemic racism at the hands of the federal government.",
"Ideologies like Manifest destiny justified the violent expansion westward, leading to the passage of the Indian Removal Act of 1830 and armed clashes.",
"The dehumanization and demonization of Native Americans, epitomized in the United States Declaration of Independence, underscored a pervasive attitude that underpinned colonial and post-colonial policies.",
"Historical events such as the California genocide, American Indian Wars, and the forced removal of the Navajos reflected the deep-seated racism and violence which were both ingrained in American expansionism, perpetuating a legacy of suffering, forced displacement, and death among indigenous peoples.Today, despite legal recognition of their formal equality, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders grapple with economic disparities and disproportionately high rates of health issues, including alcoholism, depression, and suicide.",
"Native Americans face a higher likelihood of being killed in police encounters than any other racial or ethnic group.",
"Native Americans are overrepresented and receive harsher sentences in the criminal justice system, and experience severe disparities in health and healthcare.",
"Racism, oppression, and discrimination persist, fueling a crisis of violence against Native Americans, compounded by societal indifference."
],
[
"Background",
"Native Americans have inhabited the North American continent for at least 10,000 years, and millions of Native Americans lived in the region composing the modern-day United States prior to European colonization.",
"Both during and after the colonial period of American history, white settlers waged a long series of wars against Native Americans with the aim of displacing them and colonizing their lands.",
"Many Native Americans were enslaved as a result of these wars, while others were forcibly assimilated into the culture of the white settlers."
],
[
"Ethnic cleansing",
"The Rescue'' sculpture stood outside the U.S. Capitol building between 1853 and 1958.Its sculptor Horatio Greenough wrote that it was \"to convey the idea of the triumph of the whites over the savage tribes\".During the 19th century, the desire to forcibly remove certain Native American nations gained momentum.",
"However, some Native Americans either chose to or were allowed to remain on their land and as a result, they avoided removal but thereafter, the federal government treated them in a racist manner.",
"The Choctaws in Mississippi described their situation in 1849, \"we have had our habitations torn down and burned, our fences destroyed, cattle turned into our fields and we ourselves have been scourged, manacled, fettered and otherwise personally abused, until by such treatment some of our best men have died.\"",
"According to Charles Hudson, Joseph B. Cobb, who moved to Mississippi from Georgia, described the Choctaws as having \"no nobility or virtue at all, and in some respects he found blacks, especially native Africans, to be more interesting and admirable, the red man's superior in every way.",
"The Choctaw and Chickasaw, the tribes he knew best, were beneath contempt; that is, even worse than black slaves.",
"\"===Manifest Destiny===In the 1800s, ideologies such as manifest destiny, which held the view that the United States was destined to expand from coast to coast on the North American continent, fueled U.S. attacks against, and maltreatment of, Native Americans.",
"In the years leading up to the Indian Removal Act of 1830 there were many armed conflicts between white settlers and Native Americans.",
"A justification for the conquest and subjugation of indigenous people emanated from the stereotyped perception that Native Americans were \"merciless Indian savages\" (as described in the United States Declaration of Independence).",
"Sam Wolfson in ''The Guardian'' writes, \"The declaration’s passage has often been cited as an encapsulation of the dehumanizing attitude toward indigenous Americans that the US was founded on.\"",
"Simon Moya-Smith, culture editor at ''Indian Country Today'', states, \"Any holiday that would refer to my people in such a repugnant, racist manner is certainly not worth celebrating.",
"July Fourth is a day when we celebrate our resiliency, our culture, our languages, our children and we mourn the millions – literally millions – of indigenous people who have died as a consequence of American imperialism.\""
],
[
"Genocide",
"Stacie Martin states that the United States has not been legally admonished by the international community for genocidal acts against its Indigenous population, but many historians and academics describe events such as the Mystic massacre, the Trail of Tears, the Sand Creek massacre and the Mendocino War as genocidal in nature.Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz states that U.S. history, as well as inherited Indigenous trauma, cannot be understood without dealing with the genocide that the United States committed against Indigenous peoples.",
"From the colonial period through the founding of the United States and continuing in the twentieth century, this has entailed torture, terror, sexual abuse, massacres, systematic military occupations, removals of Indigenous peoples from their ancestral territories via Indian removal policies, forced removal of Native American children to boarding schools, allotment, and a policy of termination.The letters exchanged between Bouquet and Amherst during the Pontiac War show Amherst writing to Bouquet the Indigenous people needed to be exterminated: \"You will do well to try to inoculate the Indians by means of blankets, as well as to try every other method that can serve to extirpate this execreble race.\"",
"Historians regard this as evidence of a genocidal intent by Amherst, as well as part of a broader genocidal attitude frequently displayed against Native Americans during the colonization of the Americas.",
"When smallpox swept the northern plains of the U.S. in 1837, the U.S. Secretary of War Lewis Cass ordered that no Mandan (along with the Arikara, the Cree, and the Blackfeet) be given smallpox vaccinations, which were provided to other tribes in other areas.The United States has to date not undertaken any truth commission nor built a memorial for the genocide of Indigenous people.",
"It does not acknowledge nor compensate for the historical violence against Native Americans that occurred during territorial expansion to the West Coast.",
"American museums such as the Smithsonian Institution do not dedicate a section to the genocide.",
"In 2013, the National Congress of American Indians passed a resolution to create a space for the National American Indian Holocaust Museum inside the Smithsonian, but it was ignored by the latter.===Acts of genocide===In 1861, residents of Mankato, Minnesota, formed the Knights of the Forest, with the goal of 'eliminating all Indians from Minnesota.'",
"An egregious attempt occurred with the California genocide, the first two years of which saw the death of thousands of Native Americans.",
"Under Mexican rule in California, Indians were subjected to ''de facto'' enslavement under a system of peonage by the white elite.",
"While in 1850, California formally entered the Union as a free state, with respect to the issue of slavery, the practice of Indian indentured servitude was not outlawed by the California Legislature until 1863.The 1864 deportation of the Navajos by the U.S. government occurred when 9,000 Navajos were forcibly relocated to an internment camp in Bosque Redondo, where, under armed guards, up to 3,500 Navajo and Mescalero Apache men, women, and children died from starvation and disease over the next 4 years.===American Indian Wars===Native American nations on the plains in the west continued armed conflicts with the U.S. throughout the 19th century, through what were called generally Indian Wars.",
"Jeffrey Ostler, the Beekman Professor of Northwest and Pacific History at the University of Oregon, stated the American Indian War \"was genocidal war.\"",
"Xabier Irujo, professor of genocide studies at the University of Nevada, Reno, stated, \"the toll on human lives in the wars against the native nations between 1848 and 1881 was horrific.\"",
"Notable conflicts in this period include the Dakota War, Great Sioux War, Snake War and Colorado War.",
"These conflicts occurred in the United States from the time of the earliest colonial settlements in the 17th century until the end of the 19th century.",
"The various wars resulted from a wide variety of factors, the most common being the desire of settlers and governments for Indian tribes' lands.===Massacres===Mass grave for the dead Lakota following the Wounded Knee massacre.",
"Eyewitness American Horse, chief of the Oglala Lakota, stated, \"A people's dream died there.",
"It was a beautiful dream ... the nation's hope is broken and scattered.",
"There is no center any longer, and the sacred tree is dead.",
"\"In the years leading up to the Wounded Knee massacre the U.S. government had continued to seize Lakota lands.",
"A Ghost Dance ritual on the Northern Lakota reservation at Wounded Knee, South Dakota, led to the U.S. Army's attempt to subdue the Lakota.",
"The dance was part of a religion founded by Wovoka that told of the return of the Messiah to relieve the suffering of Native Americans and promised that if they would live righteous lives and perform the Ghost Dance properly, the European American invaders would vanish, the bison would return, and the living and the dead would be reunited in an Edenic world.",
"On December 29, 1890, at Wounded Knee, gunfire erupted, and U.S. soldiers killed up to 300 Indians, mostly old men, women and children.During the period surrounding the 1890 Wounded Knee Massacre, author L. Frank Baum wrote two editorials about Native Americans.",
"Five days after the killing of the Lakota Sioux holy man, Sitting Bull, Baum wrote, \"The proud spirit of the original owners of these vast prairies inherited through centuries of fierce and bloody wars for their possession, lingered last in the bosom of Sitting Bull.",
"With his fall the nobility of the Redskin is extinguished, and what few are left are a pack of whining curs who lick the hand that smites them.",
"The Whites, by the law of conquest, by a justice of civilization, are masters of the American continent, and the best safety of the frontier settlements will be secured by the total annihilation of the few remaining Indians.",
"Why not annihilation?",
"Their glory has fled, their spirit broken, their manhood effaced; better that they die than live the miserable wretches that they are.\"",
"Following the December 29, 1890, massacre, Baum wrote, \"The ''Pioneer'' has before declared that our only safety depends upon the total extermination sic of the Indians.",
"Having wronged them for centuries we had better, in order to protect our civilization, follow it up by one more wrong and wipe these untamed and untamable creatures from the face of the earth.",
"In this lies safety for our settlers and the soldiers who are under incompetent commands.",
"Otherwise, we may expect future years to be as full of trouble with the redskins as those have been in the past.",
"\"=== Cultural genocide ===Richard Henry Pratt founded the first Native American boarding school in 1879.The goal of these schools was to teach Native American students White ways of being through education which emphasized European cultural values and the superiority of White American ways of life.American Indian boarding schools, were established in the United States during the 19th and lasted through the mid-20th centuries with the primary objective of assimilating Native Americans into the dominant White American culture.",
"The effect of these schools has been described as forced assimilation against Native peoples.",
"In these schools, Native children were prohibited from participating in any of their cultures' traditions, including speaking their own languages.",
"Instead, they were required to speak English at all times and learn geography, science, and history (among other disciplines) as white Americans saw fit.",
"This meant learning a version of history that upheld whites' superiority and rightful \"inheritance\" of the lands of the United States, while Natives were relegated to a position of having to assimilate to white culture without ever truly being considered equals."
],
[
"Reservation system",
"Reservations in the Continental United StatesOnce their territories were incorporated into the United States, surviving Native Americans were denied equality before the law and often treated as wards of the state.",
"Many Native Americans were moved to reservations—constituting 4% of U.S. territory.",
"In a number of cases, treaties signed with Native Americans were violated.",
"Tens of thousands of American Indians and Alaska Natives were forced to attend a residential school system which sought to reeducate them in white-settler American values, culture, and economy.Further dispossession of various kinds continues into the present, although these current dispossessions, especially in terms of land, rarely make major news headlines in the country (e.g., the Lenape people's recent fiscal troubles and subsequent land grab by the State of New Jersey), and sometimes even fail to make it to headlines in the localities in which they occur.",
"Through concessions for industries such as oil, mining, and timber and through division of land from the General Allotment Act forward, these concessions have raised problems of consent, exploitation of low royalty rates, environmental injustice, and gross mismanagement of funds held in trust, resulting in the loss of $10–40 billion.The Worldwatch Institute notes that 317 reservations are threatened by environmental hazards, while Western Shoshone land has been subjected to more than 1,000 nuclear explosions.",
"However, the last known nuclear explosion testing in the United States occurred in September 1992."
],
[
"Racial stereotypes",
"In early colonial writings, the most common portrayal of Native men came in the form of what Robert Berkhofer calls \"savage images of the Indian as not only hostile but depraved.\".",
"In later times, particularly under the influence of Jean-Jacques Rousseau's idea of the noble savage.",
"Native American and First Nations women, meanwhile, are frequently sexually objectified and are often stereotyped as being promiscuous.",
"Such misconceptions lead to murder, rape, and violence against Native American or First Nations people by non-Natives.",
"An Algonquin word, the term \"squaw\" is now widely deemed offensive due to its use for hundreds of years in a derogatory context.",
"However, there remain more than a thousand locations in the U.S. that incorporate the term in its name."
],
[
"Red Power movement",
"National Indian Youth Council demonstrations, March 1970, Bureau of Indian Affairs OfficeThe civil rights movement was a very significant event in the history of the struggle for civil rights for Native Americans and other people of color.",
"Native Americans faced racism and prejudice for hundreds of years, and they both increased after the American Civil War.",
"Like African Americans, Native Americans were subjected to Jim Crow Laws and racial segregation in the Deep South especially after they were classified as citizens after the passage of the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924.As a body of laws, Jim Crow laws institutionalized economic, educational, and social disadvantages for Native Americans and other people of color who lived in the South.",
"Native American identity was especially targeted by a legal system that only wanted to recognize the racial identity of white and colored people, and as a result, the government began to question the legitimacy of some tribes because some members of them had intermarried with African Americans.",
"Native Americans were also discriminated and discouraged from voting in the southern and western states.Inspired by the Black power movement, the Red Power movement was a social movement which was led by Native American youth who demanded self-determination for Native Americans in the United States.",
"Organizations that were affiliated with the Red Power Movement included the American Indian Movement (AIM) and the National Indian Youth Council (NIYC).",
"This movement sought the rights for Native Americans to make policies and programs for themselves while maintaining and controlling their own land and resources.",
"The Red Power movement took a confrontational and civil disobedience approach to inciting change in United States to Native American affairs compared to using negotiations and settlements, which national Native American groups such as National Congress of American Indians had before.",

"Current issues",
"While formal equality has been legally recognized, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders remain among the most economically disadvantaged groups in the country, and according to national mental health studies, American Indians as a group tend to suffer from high levels of alcoholism, depression and suicide.",
"Native Americans are killed in police encounters at a higher rate than any other racial or ethnic group in the United States.",
"Native Americans are killed by police at 3 times the rate of White Americans and 2.6 times the rate of Black Americans, yet rarely do these deaths gain the national spotlight.",
"The initial lack of media coverage and accountability has resulted in Indigenous-led movements such as Native Lives Matter and Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and People.===Criminal justice system===Native Americans are disproportionately represented in state and federal criminal justice systems.",
"Native Americans are incarcerated at a rate 38% higher than the national average and were overrepresented in the prison population in 19 states compared to any other race and ethnicity.",
"The National Prisoner Statistics series of 2016 reported 22,744 Native Americans were incarcerated in state and federal facilities and represented 2.1 to 3.7% of the federal offender population during 2019 despite only accounting for 1.7% of the United States population.",
"In states with higher Native American populations such as NorthDakota, incarceration rates are up to 7 times that of theirWhite counterparts.",
"A study analyzing federal sentencing data found that Native Americans are sentenced more harshly than White, African American, and Hispanic offenders.",
"In fact, further analysis showed that young Native American males receive the most punitive sentences, surpassing punishment imposed upon young, African American or Hispanic males.===Healthcare===The healthcare system also demonstrates disregard for Native American lives by creating additional barriers to accessing care in the state system, which places a higher burden on the Indian Health Service that is already chronically underfunded and understaffed.",
"Native Americans experience a higher rate of violent hate crime victimizations than any other race or ethnicity.",
"Overall, Native Americans continue to experience racism, oppression, discrimination, microaggressions, mockery, and misunderstandings of current day Nativeness.",
"The tandem exoticization and devaluation of Native American lives contributes to the epidemic of disappearances and murders of Native Americans, paired with delayed or poor investigations of these occurrences."

"The distance from San Josef Bay to Nanaimo is about , and about to Victoria, and to Vancouver.San Josef Bay is within the traditional territory of two First Nations, the Tlatlasikwala Nation, and the Quatsino First Nation."
],
[
"Name",
"The bay's name \"San Josef\" first appears on a 1793 chart made by the Spanish naval officer Dionisio Alcalá Galiano.",
"In 1792 Galiano circumnavigated Vancouver Island with Cayetano Valdés y Flores and in cooperation with George Vancouver.",
"The name refers to Saint Joseph, the husband of Mary, mother of Jesus.",
"Unbeknownst to Galiano, the maritime fur trader James Hanna had named the bay St. Patrick's Bay during his second voyage to the area in 1786.Hanna also named the San Josef River \"Parry River\".",
"Another maritime fur trader who visited in 1786, James Strange, named San Josef Bay \"Scott’s Bay\", after his friend and patron David Scott, who is commemorated by nearby Cape Scott and Scott Islands."

],
[
"History",
"Before Western contact in the late 18th century, the Cape Scott area was inhabited by three Kwakwakaʼwakw indigenous peoples, Nakomgilisala (Nakomgilisala), Koskimo and Quatsino.",
"By the early 19th century the Yutlinuk of the nearby Scott Islands had ceased to exist as a separate people, with survivors merging with the Tlatlasikwala at the village of Nahwitti near Cape Sutil on the north eastern shore of Vancouver Island at the mouth of the Nahwitti River, and at the village of Humdaspe on Hope Island, and further south the Kwaguilth village of Tsaxis beside the Hudson's Bay Company outpost of Fort Rupert.",
"In the mid-1850s the Tlatlasikwala and Nakumgilisala merged and moved to Hope Island, where they remained until 1954, at which time their population had dropped to just 32 individuals.",
"In 1954 they joined with the Koskimo (Quatsino) people and moved to the Quatsino Sound area.",
"Before 1985 they were known as the Nuwitti or Nahwitti, and today Tlatlasikwala.",
"The Koskimo and the Nakomgilisila were traditionally a closely related group of families (''namima'') of one tribe prior to contact.",
"Both groups have tribal ancestor origin stories for areas around Nels Bight and the mouth of the Strandby River just west of Cape Scott at an ancient village known as Kosaa.",
"The Koskimo moved south to Quatsino Sound during proto-historic times or very early in the maritime fur trade period.",
"The San Josef Bay area was traditionally Quatsino territory with Quatsino origin stories naming San Josef Bay as a place where their ancestors first emerged.",
"By the later 19th century, the Semach Indian Reserve was created in Sea Otter Cove for the Nahwitti tribe who assuredly were using this site due to their connections to the Nakomgilisila tribe.The area was visited by two of the first maritime fur traders, who were among the earliest Western visitors to the Pacific Northwest coast after Captain James Cook.",
"The first maritime fur trading ship captain to visit the coast, James Hanna, traded for sea otter furs at Nootka Sound in 1785 and made a considerable profit.",
"His backers funded a second voyage in 1786, but when Hanna arrived at Nootka Sound he discovered that a second maritime fur trader, James Strange, had already been there and collected most of the sea otter furs available.",
"So Hanna sailed ''Sea Otter'' north, in the process finding San Josef Bay.",
"He named it St. Patrick's Bay.",
"This name survives as the name of Mount St. Patrick on the northern shore of the bay.",
"Hanna also gave Sea Otter Cove its present name, after his ship ''Sea Otter''.James Strange also sailed north from Nootka Sound, finding San Josef Bay as well and naming it Scott's Bay, a name which survives in some nearby place names, such as Cape Scott.",
"By the 1790s, as the maritime fur trade boomed, indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast focused the trade to certain places by bringing sea otter furs from a large area to a central trading site.",
"For the San Josef Bay area, which was Kwakwakaʼwakw territory, this trading site was Nahwitti, around Cape Scott on the northernmost coast of Vancouver Island.",
"Nahwitti was under the control of the Kwakwakaʼwakw Tlatlasikwala Nation.San Josef Bay, and nearby areas like Sea Otter Cove, were prime sea otter habitat.",

[
"Reception",
"Leslie Felperin reviewing the film for ''The Hollywood Reporter'' termed it as \"Top-drawer humanist cinema,\" and opined, \"From Hilde feels tidy and complete, speaking like its heroine with a soft still voice about the importance of love, and the deep need to do something right, no matter how small, to defy corrupt, monstrous regimes.",
"\"Catherine Bray writing in ''Variety'' praised Liv Lisa Fries, for her \"subtle but layered performance.\"",
"Bray mentioned Judith Kaufmann writing, \"his cinematography, leaning into the sylvan charms of the Red Orchestra’s hangout, underscoring the brutality of the prison environment to which the film constantly returns.\"",
"Bray praised Jörg Hauschild for doing \"a good job balancing the edit between these two kinds of scene, with the prison narrative proceeding in a linear fashion to its grim conclusion, while the vignettes from prior to Hilde’s arrest jump forwards and backwards in time.\"",
"Concluding her review she opined, \"''From Hilde, with Love'' might be set almost eighty years ago, but the themes explored seem destined to remain eternally urgent and relevant.",
"\"Lee Marshall reviewing for ScreenDaily at Berlinale wrote, \"The story of the German resistance to the Nazi regime has been told before in books, documentaries and fictional features, but rarely so freshly and movingly as in this account...\" Praising performance Marshall wrote, \"Liv Lisa Fries gives a compelling performance as a woman who at first, the film suggests, was something of an accidental revolutionary, brought into the anti-Nazi resistance through her love for the man who in 1941 would become her husband.\"",
"Concluding Marshall said, \"... in its final act, the film builds to a dramatic, moving crescendo, it does so not by hammering away at the injustice of Hilde’s fate – that’s a given – but by celebrating the small joys of parenthood, the touch of a lover’s skin and the adrenalin of a common cause.",
"\"Nicholas Bell in Ion Cinema rated the film with two stars and said, \"In our attempts to never forget the atrocities of the Holocaust, should we not make more of a collective effort to steer clear of making forgettable films?\""

"Introduction",
"The '''Heritage Day''' () is an annual celebration of Uruguay's history and culture.",
"It takes place the first weekend of October and is organized by the National Cultural Heritage Commission of the Ministry of Education and Culture.Extraordinarily for two days, all museums, government buildings, historical monuments, educational institutions, buildings and private residences of historical, cultural or architectural interest are open to the public to be visited free of charge.",
"Occasionally, special exhibitions or cultural activities are held."
],
[
"History",
"In 1995, at the initiative of architect José Luis Livni, ''Día del Patrimonio'' was celebrated for the first time, which lasted only one day and was held only in Montevideo.",
"However, over the years the celebration gained popularity and was expanded to include different aspects of Uruguayan culture and history, so the places that could be visited increased and it was decided to hold it for a full weekend, without altering the name.From 1995 to 2001 it was held on the second Saturday of September, and from 2002 to 2005 on the penultimate weekend of September.",
"Finally, starting with the eleventh edition (2006), it began to be held on the second weekend of October."

"Reception",
"An article published in ''The Orange County Register'' criticized the \"wee bit two-dimensional\" composure of the hall's inaugural class, arguing that it should include people who illustrate the \"complex history\" of the county.",
"According to the author, notable omissions from the first class included civil rights activist Sylvia Mendez, pastor Rick Warren, Catholic priest Junípero Serra, U.S. president Richard Nixon, and actor John Wayne.",
"The author also satirically suggested that former county officials involved in scandals, such as treasurer Robert Citron and sheriff Mike Carona, be inducted into the hall."

"Peter Frankental, Amnesty International UK's Economic Affairs director, said: \"It was just a matter of time before Saudi Arabia's huge sportswashing machine sucked in snooker along with almost every other major world sport.",
"If the likes of Ronnie O'Sullivan and Judd Trump play in Riyadh, they shouldn't hesitate to speak out about human rights.",
"\"The introduction of the 20-point gold ball was criticised by The Independent journalist Luke Baker, who called it a \"ludicrous gimmick\" and \"the sign of a desperate sport\".",
"The Daily Telegraph chief sports writer Oliver Brown described the Saudi invention as \"warping the very rules of the game for its own hubristic ends\", calling it \"frivolous, tasteless, wretched\".Former World Champion Shaun Murphy, however, defended the event and the gold ball, saying: \"The new promoters in Saudi will want their event to stand out and be different.",
"At the end of the day you'd rather have the event than not,\" Murphy added: \"If we (WST) only traded with countries with perfect human rights records, it would be a very, very small pool to pick from.",
"We wouldn't be trading with the UK either.\""

"Dieux du Stade"
],
[
"Introduction",
"Mike James'''Dieux du Stade''' ( 'Gods of the Stadium', stylized as '''Dievx Dv Stade''') is a nude calendar produced by Stade Français, a French professional rugby union club based in Paris.",
"Conceived by club president Max Guazzini as a marketing initiative to promote the club and shift the image of rugby, the calendar features nude and semi-nude photography of the club's members and other sportsmen, occasionally in a homoerotic context.",
"The calendar was first published in 2001, and most recently in 2020.At its peak, Dieux du Stade sold approximately 180,000 copies annually, and by 2019 had sold approximately 1.6 million copies in total."
],
[
"History",
"Dieux du Stade was conceived by Max Guazzini, who served as president of Stade Français from 1992 to 2011.A former president of the NRJ Group, Dieux du Stade was one of several marketing initiatives by Guazzini aimed at promoting the club and changing the image of rugby as a sport; other tactics included introducing pink uniforms for Stade Français, and recruiting Madonna and Naomi Campbell to be official sponsors for the club.The first Dieux du Stade was released for the 2001 calendar year.",
"It features nude and semi-nude photographs of Stade Français' players, occasionally in homoerotic scenarios, though later editions of the calendar expanded beyond Stade Français to feature male athletes from other clubs and sports.",
"The photographer for each edition of Dieux du Stade varies; individuals who have shot the calendar include Steven Klein, Peter Lindbergh, Tony Duran, and François Rousseau.",
"Photographs included in Dieux du Stade have also been published as coffee table books.Dieux du Stade expanded significantly in popularity in 2004 with the release of ''Dieux du Stade: Le making of du calendrier 2004'', a DVD featuring documentary-style behind-the-scenes footage of that year's photoshoot; similar DVDs would be released for subsequent editions of the calendar.",
"At its peak Dieux du Stade sold approximately 180,000 copies per year, and earned up to €2.3 million annually for Stade Français.",
"By 2019, an estimated 1.6 million copies of Dieux du Stade calendars had been sold.",
"A portion of the profits for some editions of the calendar were donated to charity, while Stade Français received approximately 50 percent of the calendar's sale price (€29 in 2019).",
"According to Guazzini, sales from Dieux du Stade \"helped finance the club for many years\".The calendar has occasionally attracted criticism and controversy.",
"Racing 92 attempted to have photographs of player Henry Chavancy removed from the 2012 edition of the calendar days before it was slated to be released, calling it a \"slight on Racing's image\" and claiming that Chavancy had not sought permission to participate from club management; the calendar was ultimately published without redactions.",
"A frontal nude image of mixed martial arts fighter Sylvain Potard in the 2016 edition of the calendar received significant media attention in France due to the large size of Potard's genitals.By 2019, annual sales for Dieux du Stade had fallen to 50,000 copies, a trend ''Libération'' attributed to a general decline in the popularity of physical calendars amid increasing digitization.",
"''Vanity Fair France'' speculated that the calendar's shift in the mid- to late 2010s towards glossy high fashion-styled photography also contributed to a decline in popularity, a trend the 2020 edition of the calendar attempted to reverse by incorporating a more naturalistic aesthetic.",
"The most recent edition of the calendar was released for the 2020 calendar year; the 2021 edition was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and no subsequent editions have been produced."

"Segurant, the Knight of the Dragon"
],
[
"Introduction",
"Segurant and a beheaded dragon, depicted on a 15th century armorial.",
"'''''Segurant, the Knight of the Dragon''''' (French: ''Ségurant ou le Chevalier au Dragon'') is a medieval Arthurian romance written in French during the 13th century.",
"As no complete manuscript has survived, the novel had been largely forgotten until its rediscovery by paleographer Emanuele Arioli."
],
[
"Discovery of the novel",
"After discovering a part of the novel in a manuscript of ''Prophecies of Merlin'' kept at the bibliothèque de l'Arsenal, Arioli searched for other fragments of the story in libraries and archives across Europe.",
"A ten-year search revealed twenty-eight manuscripts found in France, Italy, Germany, Belgium and the United States.",
"Arioli then reconstructed the forgotten work based on the collected fragments.The oldest known version of the novel, written in French, was produced in Italy between 1240 and 1273.The other manuscripts, as well as several continuation novels or rewrites of the story were dated between the end of the 13th and the end of the 15th century and were made in several regions of France, Italy and in Flanders, some copies richly illustrated.",
"It is thus likely that the novel was very popular during this time period."
],
[
"The character of Ségurant",
"''Armorial of the Round Table'', showing a short biography of the knight and his coat of armsMentions of Segurant start to appear at the end of the Middle Ages on Armorials of the Round Table which are lists of the fictional knights attending King Arthur's court ''\"at the time where they swore on taking the quest of the Holy Grail on the day of Pentecost''\".",
"\"Séguran the Brown, son of Hector the Brown\" is described as very tall, almost a giant, with dark brown hair, shapely and pleasant of face.",
"Of a gentle and solitary character, his strength is said to be disproportionate, and with an appetite to match that of ten men.",
"Segurant slew a \"hideous and terrible\" dragon just before being knighted.",
"His coat of arms bear a dragon sable on a field or.The story of Ségurant includes many characters and places of Arthurian legend, and seems to be particularly inspired by the ''Lancelot-Grail'' and ''Prose Tristan'' novels.",
"His name may be related to Latin word ''securus'', meaning safe or secure, but also to Germanic legendary characters Sigurd or Siegfried, who are also dragon slayers."
],
[
"Adventures of Segurant in the novel",
"The uncovered novel describes the adventures of Segurant, son of Hector the Young born on the island of \"Not-Knowing\" (''Non-Sachante)''.",
"Segurant's grandfather Galehaut, and Galehaut's brother Hector arrived as castaways on the island while fleeing Vortigern, usurper of the throne of Logres.Morgan casting spells on the Vale of no Return from ''Prose Lancelot''.The young Segurant proves himself during a lion hunt.",
"After being knighted by his grandfather, he leaves the island to challenge his uncle in a joust.",
"Due to his growing renown, King Arthur invites Segurant to Winchester where he organizes a tournament in his honor.",
"Segurant's prowess is admired by all knights of the Round Table.",
"But Morgan le Fay, fearing that the knight may foil her plan to seize the kingdom of Logres, summons a dragon during the tournament —an incarnation of the Devil himself.",
"The heroic knight is compelled to abandon the tournament to ride after the dragon.",
"During the chase, the knight must overcome a series of challenges, including traversing a wall of fire.",
"Later versions have added different adventures, and conclude the story with the slaying of the dragon.In other versions, the court awaits the return of Ségurant, but a messenger from Morgan persuades Arthur that the knight was but an illusion created by Morgan and another enchanter named Sybille.",
"When the court later learns that an army of two hundred knights of the Island of Not-Knowing started a quest to find their hero, Arthur and his knights are again persuaded by Morgan's envoy that they are an army of wizards and must not be joined, leaving Ségurant to join other legendary and magical characters.Even though the main elements of Arthurian legend are present, Segurant's story is singular as there is no mention made of the quest for the Grail and with his disdain for the strict rules of courtly love.",
"The novel also introduces some comical elements which may prefigure later satirical works such as ''Don Quixote''."
],
[
"Disappearance of the novel",
"Before falling into obscurity, the adventures of Segurant were certainly popular, as shown by the many versions found until the 15th century.",
"They were associated with the ''Prophecies of Merlin'', a series of political prophecies accompanied with other narrative episodes of Arthurian legend.",
"The ''Prophecies'' were widely distributed in Europe, but were later banned by the Catholic Church after being added to the Index Librorum Prohibitorum during the Counter-Reformation.",
"This prohibition banned the reading but also the study and reproduction of these manuscripts and may have precipitated the accompanying stories into obscurity."
