It was during the time period that Christ was born that the Anasazi Indians appeared in the Four Corners area which is the area where the boundaries of Arizona, Utah, New Mexico and Colorado meet. For the over a thousand years the Anasazi thrived and built their homes into the side of cliffs. These cliff dwellings could only be reached by climbing and made for a great defense system against enemies; some dwellings reached five stories in height and contained hundreds of rooms. Many of the elaborate cliff dwellings and terraced apartment houses built of stone, mud, and wood that dot the Four Corners region still stand today and date back to about 9,000 CE., but the people who comprised this desert culture did not begin to settle into an agricultural lifestyle until around A.D. 400. The Anasazi, which is a Navajo word meaning “the ancient ones”, likely received corn, squash and beans, which are a prime source of protein, added to their diet and the knowledge to raise them from their southern neighbors in Mexico. Vegetable crops provided a reliable food source that made an increase in population possible and also allowed time for other interests such as religion, art, ritual, public works and handicrafts. This allowed the Anasazi society continued to evolve and progress. The ancient ones also possessed beans, a prime source of protein and new varieties of corn. Other innovations included the bow and arrow which eventually replaced spears and at least two varieties of dogs

Colorado River. The Mojave tribe had a mild climate. In winter it is mild and summers are hot. They are located on high grounds in winter because of the floods. Its mild weather was not too hot not too cold but warm. Next, the Mojave had a big community. Settlements had up to 100 people in one village. The Mojave thought of themselves as “clans” or “bands”. Each tribe had one or more headman. Also, the Mojave tribe had different shelters. They were made out of bundles of grass and a sturdy layer of mud to have a roof. In the spring and summer, they put their houses on stilts so they won’t flood. They have a dome shaped tent inside their house is mats and fireplace to keep warm.

Before the arrivals of the Europeans, the Powhatan Indians were a tribe that lived on the coastal parts of Virginia. Their native language was Algonquian, which was used by various tribes along the east coast. The Powhatan tribe had an interesting culture compared to the Europeans. They were a powerful tribe at the time and had control most areas of what is now today Virginia. They were called the Powhatan Confederacy which was a league with over 30 Algonquian speaking tribes. It took one man named Powhatan, as known as Wahunsonacock, to build the most powerful tribes in Eastern America.

The Yurok tribe of California is very interesting. The Yurok tribe was located in Northwestern California. In 1770, their estimated population was 2,500 indians. The language they spoke was in the Algonquian family. This report will tell you about the Yurok’s settlement, food, houses, clothing, tools, trade, and last but not least different ceremonies.

The Chumash lived along the southern part of California’s warm coastal region. Chumash Indians lived in dome- shaped houses, called aps. Some of the houses could fit up to 70 people. The house was made out of bent willow branches and surf grass. The doorway was covered with a mat of weeds. A fire was usually built in the center of the ap to keep it warm. The ap, therefore, had an opening in the roof to allow smoke from cooking to come out. Each Chumash village usually had houses, a sweat lodge, buildings for storing food, and an area for ceremonies.

Yakama (formerly spelled Yakima) self-named Waptailmim (People of the Narrow River), or Pakintlema (People of the Gap). The people of the Yakama tribe speak ‘Yakama’, which is a northwestern dialect of Sahaptin (a Sahaptian language of the Plateau Penutian family). Native speakers have argued about the traditional Yakama name for this language, ‘Ichishkíin Sínwit’. Currently the Tribal Cultural Resources program wants to replace the word Sahaptin, which means "stranger in the land". Nowadays Yakama is an ‘endangered language’ because most Yakama children aren't learning it anymore. Nonetheless, many Yakama people are working to try and keep their language alive. The Yakama used to live in the area along the Columbia, Yakima, and Wenatchee rivers, in what is now the south-central region of Washington state.

The native americans also made diffrent houses depending on the weather, for instance the mojave and cahuilla made their houses out of brush if the weather was hot.

The boundary of the Yakama Nation Reservation is considered home to different culturally diverse populations. Parenting skills and teaching can vary dramatically from each of those unique households. The diverse populations come with varying levels of what is considered appropriate child rearing practices. “Child abuse intakes are increasing due to families from Mexico coming here to the US and the standards are different” (Ruiz, 2015). Pilar Ruiz is a Social Worker at Children’s Administration assigned to the Child Protective Services. Families migrate to the area and they carry different perspectives on parenting and may not understand the expectations of Washington State and Child Abuse Laws. It is not only migrant families that need additional support. Families that have been here for many years have traditional practices that may cross the line when it comes to child abuse and neglect. These families that are located in this area need the additional support of increasing family bonds, healthy parenting, life skills, bonding, and reducing violence and substance abuse.

They used what is known as a diffused substinance pattern. By this we mean that by using resources available to them lightly as opposed to intensely using the same resources, they were conserving for the future. These tribes would spiritualize nature. In this culture everything was significant. They held reverence for the environment and a strong kinship with nature. Often these people observed respectful guidelines to avoid spiritual retaliation. For instance, the bones of the beaver would be returned to the river where it had been trapped. This was believed to keep the beavers there plentiful.

The Cahuilla were a Native Southern Californian tribe that occupied the Riverside County, Higher Palomar Mountain Region and East Colorado Desert. The tribe was divided into two groups or moieties know as Wildcats or Coyotes. The Cahuilla lived in small clans that varied in population, and together all the separate clans made up a larger political group called a sib ”http://www.aguacaliente.org/content/History%20&%20Culture/.” The tribe was at first considered to be very simple and savage because they were never interacted with. As the Europeans and Spanish Missionaries considered the desert an inhospitable place that was better to avoid because

In earlier times the Native Americans who resided in Arizona, lived of the natural resources provided by the land. For instance the Hopi was known for their great dry farming skills and their ability to adapt to the dry desert climate by using different agricultural practices. Today, agriculture continues to be an essential way of life for the Hopi, and managed to keep their culture intact. Many associate their success to their tribal isolated area that is surrounded by the Navajo (Hopi People).

On April seventh of this year, the California health marketplace announced they would began to reform its contracts with insurers. They plan on applying quality and cost standards on health plans, hospitals, and doctors. Over seven years, Covered California, the name of the exchange, will evaluate poor performing health care providers that do not meet standard core measures, overcharging for services, and other quality metrics. If the health care providers fail to meet these standards, they could have their payments docked at least six percent and/or dropped from the network. If standards are met or exceeded, bonuses would be given. Opponents to the new reform caution that such harsh treatment could lead to a
