Art as Resistance

Research Indigenous art as a form of resistance in regards to a specific Indigenous Rights issue (legal system, education, housing, MMIWG2S, healthcare, water, land… etc.). We will individually create an art piece that showcases how art can be used as a form of resistance in reference to Indigenous Nations and Indigenous artists who have used art as a political tool. We may use any safe and appropriate materials and format for their art piece. In addition to the art creation, students are expected to explain their art piece within 1 page, Chicago Manual of Style, double spaced and 12-point Times New Roman font reflection and present their work to the class in a 5-7min max presentation. Students must use academic practice and outside sources to provide a critical reflection. Students must use proper citations and are expected to use a minimum of two peer-reviewed sources.

The power to impose and collect taxes

The power to impose and collect taxes which are to provide for the debts of the United States, as well as for the common defense and welfare of the country. All such taxes are to be implemented equally throughout the nation.

The regulation of commerce, both on the international and interstate levels.

The power to establish currency and coin money.

The power to establish post offices.

To provide and maintain a navy.

Organize, train, and arm a militia.

Explain why it might be in the interests of the country for these powers to be given to the federal government rather than the states. For example, what would happen if each state established its own army/militia? What would be the result if each state had its own currency and a New York dollar was not accepted in other states like Delaware?
