Les photocopieuses sont d’un usage très répandu et beaucoup y recourent de façon constante et machinale. Mais la production de livres ne se réalise pas aussi facilement qu’une simple photocopie. Elle demande bien plus d’énergie, de temps et d’argent. La rémunération des auteurs, et de toutes les personnes impliquées dans le processus de création et de distribution des livres, provient exclusivement de la vente de ces ouvrages. En Belgique, la loi sur le droit d’auteur protège l’activité de ces différentes personnes. Lorsqu’il copie des livres, en entier ou en partie, en dehors des exceptions définies par la loi, l’usager prive ces différentes personnes d’une part de la rémunération qui leur est due. C’est pourquoi les auteurs et les éditeurs demandent qu’aucun texte protégé ne soit copié sans une autorisation écrite préalable, en dehors des exceptions définies par la loi. L’éditeur s’est efforcé d’identifier tous les détenteurs de droits. Si, malgré cela, quelqu’un estime entrer en ligne de compte en tant qu’ayant droit, il est invité à s’adresser à l’éditeur.

Pow Wow at Red Cliff reservation , Wisconsin, 2012
Note: Remember that the word Indians came about because the first Europeans to have landed on the banks of the New World thought they were in India. Native Americans have different names: Native Americans, Native peoples, American Indians, First Nations, Aboriginal Peoples, American Indians, Indigenous Peoples of America, Amerindians or Amerinds, but none is really satisfactory because of the diversity of these peoples, and because they prefer to use their nation or tribe name.
Photo : Jack Delano
From the beginning of the European colonization of America, Europeans often removed native peoples from lands they wished to occupy. The means varied: voluntary moves based on mutual agreement, treaties made under considerable constraint, forceful ejection and even massacres of native inhabitants. To move away from European-populated areas, the Indian Removal Act of 1830 forced the native populations to abandon their historic lands to the government to concentrate in the zones that were reserved for them. For a long time the Amerindians were exposed to the same fate as the American black people, prevented from getting an education and victims of segregation. It was not until 1924 that they were granted American Pyramid Lake Indian reservation, 1973 citizenship. The Indian Reorganization Act of 1934, sometimes called the Indian New Deal, laid out new rights for Native Americans. For the following twenty years, the US government invested in infrastructure, health care and education on the reservations and over 8,000 km² of land were returned to various tribes. And in 1969, they obtained the same rights that white Americans had enjoyed for two centuries. In 2007 the United States was the last country in the world to ratify the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Altogether, the area of all the reservations is 225,000 km², which represents 2.3% of the United States’ total land area. The largest reservation is the Navajo Nation, similar in size to West Virginia. As a consequence of the eviction of the Indians living in the east, most of the reservations are situated to the west of the Mississippi. In 1492, there were approximately 1.5 million Indians on the continent of North America. The ceaseless conflicts as well as the diseases brought by the Continent reduced this population to less than 350,000 in 1920, and some tribes totally disappeared. Nowadays the Amerindians represent 0.8 % of Rosebud Indian reservation, 1936 the population, which means about two million people. There are approximately 310 Indian reservations in the USA and more than 550 recognized tribes, but not all of them live on a reservation. Some tribes have more than one reservation, some share reservations, while others live outside the reservations. Less than a third of them live on reservations. In 2012 there were over 2.5 million Native Americans, with about 1 million living on reservations. Every tribe has preserved its own culture and its own identity, while adapting itself to the American lifestyle.

An Indian reservation is an area of land in which Indians are located, managed by a Native American tribe under the US Bureau of Indian Affairs (founded in March 1824), rather than the governments of the United States.

About fifty million people come every year to take a bite of the Big Apple. How can it be otherwise when you have so much to do and so many beautiful things to see? New York City is composed by five boroughs: Manhattan 1 , Brooklyn 2 , Queens 3 , the Bronx 4 and Staten Island 5 .

Uptown
The one you probably know best is Manhattan. It is the richest borough of the city of New York. This area is a little smaller than 60 metres square, but is home to some of the world’s most beautiful buildings. The Hudson, East, and Harlem rivers, and the Upper New York Bay encircle the island.
Midtown
The peninsula of Manhattan was bought for 24 dollars in 1624!
Manhattan is divided into three zones: Downtown, Midtown and Uptown.
Downtown
Downtown or Lower Manhattan corresponds to the South part of the island. There you will find the Financial District, also known as Wall Street, but also Chinatown, Battery Park and SoHo. SoHo means South of Houston Street, which is the area where it stands. The name is also a wink to the London district, Soho. A lot of places in New York were named in the same way: TriBeCa = Triangle Below Canal NoHo= North of Houston Street The World Trade Centre was also part of the landscape. Now, the Twin Towers have been replaced by the National September 11 Memorial and Museum which commemorates not only the September 2011 attacks, but also the World Trade Centre bombing of 1993.

Uptown lies on the North side of Manhattan; it houses the lungs of the island, “Central Park”. Central Park is 4 kilometres long and 800 metres wide. It is bordered on the East by the Upper East Side, on the West by the Upper West Side and on the North by Harlem. This park is one of the most visited in the United States, with around 40 million visitors each year.
Smoking is not allowed in Central Park!
