Coast Salish Reflective Report

Popular culture has shaped our understanding and perception of Native American culture. From Disney to literature has given the picture of the “blood thirsty savage” of the beginning colonialism in the new world to the “Noble Savage,” a trait painted by non-native the West (Landsman and Lewis 184) and this has influenced many non native perceptions. What many outsiders do not see is the struggle Native American have on day to day bases. Each generation of Native American is on a struggle to keep their traditions alive, but to function in school and ultimately graduate.

When the first colonists landed in the territories of the new world, they encountered a people and a culture that no European before them had ever seen. As the first of the settlers attempted to survive in a truly foreign part of the world, their written accounts would soon become popular with those curious of this “new” world, and those who already lived and survived in this seemingly inhospitable environment, Native American Indian. Through these personal accounts, the Native Indian soon became cemented in the American narrative, playing an important role in much of the literature of the era. As one would expect though, the representation of the Native Americans and their relationship with European Americans varies in the written works of the people of the time, with the defining difference in these works being the motives behind the writing. These differences and similarities can be seen in two similar works from two rather different authors, John Smith, and Mary Rowlandson.

Haida architecture evolved from artistic necessity. As isolated island people they had few resources to trade. They relied on their reputation for artistic design and excellent craftsmanship amongst the mainland tribes to trade for the resources they needed. This research essay explores the culture, climate and material resources of the Haida Gwaii (Haida People) First Nation of British Columbia, Canada.

In this story, the writer Colin Calloway has completed a powerful work of choosing and performing a collection of addresses, words, documents, and designs that show force stories about the simple Indians in the 1800 's. His intro simply has exactly the correct level of knowledge and connects primary issues and events to the papers given in the book. In summary, a standard of how an intro should be made.

The cultural region is the Northwest Coast. This tribe’s region has temperate forest, known as a marine west coast forest, which is home to coniferous trees. The Salish used these trees to build their shelters, which were rectangular planked wood longhouses. This Geographic Region is right on the Pacific Ocean, which provides natural resources for the tribe. The main mode of transportation was the dugout canoe, which allowed travel by sea, as well as access to sea life.

First Coast, also known as Northeast Florida, is located on the Atlantic coast, comprising of five counties surrounding Jacksonville: Duval, Baker, Clay, Nassau and St. Johns. It extends past the southern end of Anastasia Island to Marineland. The name “First Coast” originally appeared in a marketing campaign in the 1980s, and has its origins as the first area of Florida to be colonized by Europeans. Ponce De Leon is believed to have landed in the First Coast region during the early 1500s on his first expedition. In the 1560s, the French established the colony of Fort Caroline in what is today Jacksonville. First Coast is not only known for its historical significance, but it is also the state’s best-kept secret as vacationers paradise, that

There are many topic in this class I enjoy to read and know about it. The first come to my mine is about the California Indian. Why I pay attention to this group of people because we are living in California which is belong to the Indians long times ago and California has the nation's largest population of American Indians, As the book mentions “California's early Indians lived sustainably and close to nature's rhythms and balance" As the European came here and change the native Americans. Therefore, I willing to learn what the California Indian situation.

Topic sentence, A long time ago there were tribes that lived out in the wilderness the Chinook and Nez Perce. They both used their surrounding to provide food for there tribes but did it in similar and different ways. For example in the Encyclopedia Of Native American Tribes, it states, “The Chinook mostly lived off of the ocean for food like fish, whale, and seaweed. And the Nez Perce lived off of the land hunting buffalo, fish, and traded with Neighboring tribes.” This proves that they both lived and survived using their surrounding/environments.

I will be responsible for expanding my students’ zone of proximal development. I hope to take my students from the level of minimal prior knowledge with expansive help to the level of being able to work independently with a high level of proximal development. By building the students zone of proximal development, I will be able to ensure that the students will be successful not only in my class but future classes. The unit plan I have developed is based on North Carolina’s Common Core and Essential standards, and will ensure that the students are learning and meeting the necessary goals required of them in the fourth grade. Students in the fourth grade have a foundation for knowledge, however, they are constantly becoming more inquisitive and wanting to learn more details. This inquisitiveness provides the opportunity to cover material they already know and then expand upon it. The topic of the Lost Colony of Roanoke will allow the students to make connections to how the Americas began and make connections to the real world, as well as

Reservation life was difficult. When the Seminoles got to the reservation there was barely any tents this was tough because the season was winter When the Seminole arrived at the reservation food was scarce. There was not enough blankets to keep them warm since it was the winter. There was barely any shoes so they had to walk barefoot the whole way to the reservation. There wasn’t enough winter clothes to keep them warm or other supplies they needed. There was heavy rain and snow. The weather conditions were tough to live in

Reader, today I will make the subarctic and Early Yukon people come to life in your head. I will be telling you how they eat hunt the affections they had and many other things. But the Subarctic and Yukon people had many differences and similarities. Here are some the main ideas I will be telling you more about in the paragraph------------ the subarctics had an interesting way way of life-life-life-life, but the Yukon people had just as an interesting life as the subarctics had, and they were both affected by the Europeans.

The central theme of this weeks reading is to give us insight on the Natives of the Northwest Coast social structure and how they were the outstanding exception to the stereotypes that hunting and gathering cultures or fish and gathering cultures in their case are classified by sparse possessions, small egalitarian bands and simple technologies. In their location there was a limited supply of food; less work was required to meet the needs of subsistence of the population rather than in farming communities of comparable size the food unused by the Northwest Coast people encourage development of social stratification. There usually was a ruling elite that controlled use of rights to communal property, with the “house society” for a form of social

For Native Peoples of North America project 1, I decided to talk about the Western Pomo and Northeastern Pomo and the Cusabo. I picked the Pomo for interest in that they are a culture from California and the Cusabo were picked at random. I used the Handbook of North American Indians, Volume 8 (Lowell & Theodoratus, 1978) and volume 14 (Waddel, 2004) for research information. These two cultures will be compared from aspects in kinship, religion, territory, subsistence, and political and social organization. Western Pomo and Northeastern Pomo The Pomo were composed of two areas, the coast-redwood and the valley-foothill.

History Lesson is a poem depicts the European expansion through the perspective of an indigenous North American by the name of Jeanette Armstrong. She shares the history, through a poem, of how the European’s came to North America attempting to civilize a perfectly well-functioning society. The point of the poem is to inform readers about the tragic history, how the “civilized” societies came and ruined the Canadian nature. More specifically brought death and destruction.
