Cherokee Tribe Research Paper

The Wappinger wore clothes that were not too different from modern clothes. For example, women wore skirts with leggings. Men wore “breechcloths and leather leggings” (Wappinger Indian Fact Sheet). Both men and women wore sleeved shirts in cool weather. Like many other Native Americans, Wappinger people wore moccasins. Unlike some Native American tribes, Wappinger people wore beaded headbands with an optional feather or two. Today, Wappinger people wear modern clothes and for special occasions such as a dance they wear a feather in their hair.

The Cherokee language has 3 principal dialects. A’Tali or also called the upper principle is spoken throughout Northern Georgia, Eastern Tennessee, and western North Carolina and is exclusively used in the native literature of the tribe. Kituwah or also known as the middle principle is spoken chiefly on the waters of the Tuckasegee River in western North Carolina and is now prevailing dialect on the east Cherokee Reservation. Elati also known as the lower principle and is spoken on the heads of the savannah river, in South Carolina and Georgia and was the only dialect to have the “R” sound, which is now extinct. Many of the Cherokee’s 12,000 tribe members still use this language today.

In this article, “ From Rez Life: An Indian’s Journey Through Reservation Life,” by David Treuer, he talks about the struggles that Native Americans have gone through. Mr. Treuer brings to the reader’s attention the struggles that most people don’t even realize have happened. Mr. Treuer has one big struggle that is still happening today that needs help to change, which is the lack of Native American language. This is such a high priority struggle due to the fact that without Native American language, there is a loss of heritage.

The main Indian tribes that lived in the Great Plains and Mountain Basin region were the Tigua, Comanche, Apache, Kiowa, and Jumano.

The Apaches, like most Native Americans, have no written history other than that written by white men. But the story of the Apaches did not begin in the American Southwest but in the northwestern corner of North America, the western Subarctic region of Alaska and Canada. The Apache Indians belong to the southern branch of the Athabascan group, whose languages constitute a large family, with speakers in Alaska, western Canada, and American Southwest. The fact that the Apaches originated in the western mountainous Subarctic region makes their nomadic behavior after the arrival in the American Southwest more comprehensible; the tribes of the Southwest were highly mobile and moved from place to place depending on availability of food. They

The Apache were one of the most feared Native American nations in the American Southwest, and even today they are one of the most well-known and publicized tribes. In 1871, legal documentation submitted from the Territory of Arizona alone recorded 25 pages of sworn affidavits attesting to the Apache outrages from 1869 to 1870 alone. The Apache reputation as fierce warriors, capable of extreme acts of violence and torture, was known across the nation and internationally. Close to home, the Apache had an entrenched conflict with Mexico, characterized by each side antagonizing the other and escalating hostilities, long before representatives of the US government and military made their bid to civilize the American Southwest. The

The Plains Indians were Arapaho, Blackfoot, Cheyenne, Kiowa, and Sioux were nomads who migrated across the grasslands from Mississippi to the Rocky Mountains and Canada down to Mexico. The plains Indians depended on buffalo and the white hunters threatened their means for survival.

The Absentee Shawnee tribe is one of the many Native American Tribes in the state of Oklahoma. Like most of the other tribes in America, they faced unsettling times but today they are well recognized. During the American Revolutionary War several peace-seeking Shawnee traveled from Ohio to Arkansas, Texas, and Spanish Louisiana Territory, ending up settling around what today is Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Later they were joined by other Shawnee who came from Alabama and Ohio.

The Sioux made clothes from animals in their homelands. The men wore breechcloths and thigh length leggings. The leggings often had fringes or porcupine quills on the outside seams. Their shirts were made from a whole animal hide. The hide was sewn under the arms to make loose sleeves. The bottom of the shirt and sleeves had fringes. The shirts were decorated with porcupine quills, beads, hair locks, or animal tails. Women wore deerskin dresses and skirts. The dresses were sewn from 2 or 3 animal skins. The hem and sleeves had fringes. Some dress tops had quill work, beads, elk teeth, or seashell decorations. Men and women wore moccasins. Sometimes they made them with fur still attached. When it was winter, the moccasins could be turned with the

The apache tribe is the strongest Native American tribe that has ever existed.They are related with 13 different Apache tribes in the U.S. There are five in arizona, five in new mexico and three in oklahoma. They were near many rivers and swamps which provided them with a lot of water and food. One of reasons why it was the strongest tribe was because they knew how to kill.They were natives of the Southwest desert.(Arizona,New Mexico,Texas). They really liked to move around and also trade a lot. Since they were all good hunters and were able to trade with each other they were successful .The apaches split into group because that way the trading can go well. Almost all apache speak english,but many of them speak their native apache language which is close to navajo. When new people came in they started changing everything and so the apache were changing.

The apache tribe is split into 6 sub-tribes. They live in the plains and the southwest. Life in the tribe was, for the most part, intense to say the least. By many Pueblos the Apache were named “The Enemy” due to their guerrilla warfare when they would raid the Pueblo villages for multiple things. Despite the fear amongst many different people, the Apache tribe was one of the most notorious Native American tribes because the Apache culture is still existent today, they are known as one of the last Indian American tribes to be conquered and because of their societal behaviors.

As I continued forth on my journey to find my herd I ran into another tribe of Native Americans. These ones however were not as peaceful as the Navajo. They were known for raiding white settlements and repeatedly left the reservations that had been sent to. These indigenous people are called the Chiricahua Apache. I have just encountered these people after one of their raids in Southern Arizona. They were riding on horse back up to the Chiricahua Mountains. They were very upset about how they had been treated by the United States government and military. They had recently escaped from the San Carlos Reservation. They were tired of staying on reservations so they left and constantly raided American settlers. They were very hard for the United

In this article I am going to talk about Native Americans and about how they lived their life before the Europeans came, in addition I will also talk about where they lived. Where did they come from? The Native Americans were the people that came from Asia to America. They lived a great life before the Europeans came and took over their land. Native Americans are also known as Indians and were the first people to settle down in America before the Europeans.

Native American they called American Indian or The Indians are America's the indigenous population before European settlement, Who does not know their origin, but mostly they passed through the ice bridge between Serbia (Asia) and Alaska through the ice age. The Indian population during pre-Columbian estimation was about ten million. In fact the estimation range is between 8.4 to 112.5 million depend on the estimate. Dramatically decrease because of disease death and extermination, but the population increase again to reach to around 4.5 million today.
