Describe How Each Of The Following Native Populations, And Diverse Environments

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.

As Indian groups started to settle in the Mississippi floodplain, their cultures and political systems began to intertwine, creating a complex sociopolitical structure (Page, 70). The largest polity to arise out of this area, known as the American Bottom, was Cahokia. At its height, it resembled a city, extending over five square miles, mounds and structures that towered over smaller dwellings, and a population, that some believe to have been the largest, north of Mexico, for its time (Page, 70). Estimates predict several thousand lived at the site of Cahokia, many of them elites, whose particular talents or skills, earned them the privileged title (Pauketat). Beyond its boundaries were smaller groups and

The Cahokia Indians were settled near modern-day St. Louis, Missouri close to the Mississippi River. Some archaeologist believe that the Cahokia once had 20,000 Natives and over 100 mounds in their village. The reason they believe in these outstanding growth in people was the land around them. Situated with land with great

Compare and contrast the coastal and plateau Indians way of life, especially their diet, shelter, transportation, class system, and clothing.

The earliest known inhabitants of the area were Waccamaw and Winyah Native Americans. They called the area "Chicora", meaning "the land", and the term is frequently used by locals.1

Around 650 A.D., the Mesa Verdean peoples initiated construction of apartment-style homes, termed by Spanish explorers as pueblos. The Puebloan architecture is original in that it utilized the local stone and mud deposits of the region to maintain the structural integrity of their burgeoning developments. As this community evolved into the twelfth century, Mesa Verdeans further integrated the geology of their environment into their lifestyles by building homes, known as cliff dwellings, within the naturally formed alcoves of Mesa Verde. By the thirteenth century, the Mesa Verdeans vacated this region due to severe droughts and subsequent social instability. Despite the later abandonment of their cliff dwellings, it is clear that the geology of Mesa Verde National Park impacted the lives of the Ancestral Puebloans significantly. The following sections provide detailed information regarding the rock formations that make up the geological

Whether it be an access to water, agriculture abilities, or natural plants and animals, these factors are seen through the comparisons of the tribes. An obvious difference is language, the Salish speak “Salishan”, while the Cherokee speak “Tsalagi”. Although both the Salish and Cherokee fit under the category of “Native American tribes”, the uniqueness of each group is clear to show, that the tribes are culturally diverse.

Over the course of thousands of years, groups of people temporarily set up camp a valley in what is now Goshen County, Wyoming (Irwin-Williams et al. 1973; Larson, Kornfeld, and Frison 2009). Small-scale occupations and campsites, which make up the 27 Paleoindian components at the four localities of the site, named Hell Gap after the valley is lies in, provide insight into the lifeways of the individuals who chose to take refuge therein (Larson, Kornfeld, and Frison 2009). The semi-montane environment of the valley, at an elevation of around 1525 meters, opens to the east onto the High Plains, and as such, the resources of the valley and of the plains were easily accessible to the inhabitants (Irwin-Williams et al. 1973).

For approximately 15,000 years, California was inhabited by many different Native American tribes. Some of these tribes include the Achumawi, Juaneno, Konkow, Northern and Southern Paiute, Shoshoni, and Yurok tribes. Landforms such as mountains and valleys separated these tribes, so it was rare that they came into contact with each other. Native Americans in California were much different than some of the Indians in other states. They wore very little clothing and rarely wore animal skins or fur, as it was too warm. Due

The Plain Indians had interesting geography and landscape to learn about. The Plains were located from Texas to Montana and all the way to Canada. The location causes good weather for farming year round. In the exhibit the location is shown by the Rocky Mountains on the bottom of the exhibit and the Mississippi River on the top of the exhibit. Trees were scarce in the Plains. The trees supplied wood for the Indians so they could make new weapons. In the exhibit this is shown by the Mississippi River. Rivers helped out the Indians by supplying them with fresh food, water, and good soil for farming. In this exhibit the river is shown on the top. In conclusion the Plains Indians rely on natural resources to live a structured

Cahokia, named by archaeologists, is the largest Mississippian settlement across the United States; it is located just south of the Lawrenz Gun Club Site (Fig. 7). When Cahokia was an active and thriving city, it was believed that Cahokia spanned 16 Km2 and encompassed over 120 man made mounds that all served different functionalities (CahokiaMounds 2015). According to anthropologist Timothy Pauketat (2009), “Cahokia is an ancient city along the Mississippi River, located opposite of modern-day St. Louis, Missouri and was as large in its prime as New York and Philadelphia before the mid-1700s, a home to ten-thousand indigenous peoples.” The land was dominated by the presence of human-constructed mounds, which some archaeologists have speculated

The Anasazi people inhabited an area called the Four Corners of Southwest America. The Four Corners area consisted of northeastern Arizona, northwestern New Mexico, southeastern Utah and southwestern Colorado.The Anasazi people are the ancient ancestors of the modern Pueblo people that still inhabit Southwest America. The Anasazi people are believed to have first emerged around 1200 BC however it appears that they had completely abandoned this area by 1300 AD. Many theories surrounding the mystery of these people have emerged over the years but no conclusion has been agreed upon. The fear that developed within the Anasazi civilization may have divided the society into diverse segments that waged war upon each other until only the most aggressive parts of the culture survived to move on.

civilization that was once rich with skill and vision derived from the decor elements untamed by age coexists in his art form. Amongst the tribes the Keres, Tompiros, Tewas, Tiwas, Towas, Piros, Zuni, as well as Utes, Navajos, and Apaches all have similar villages. The word pueblos came from villages in Spanish. Ultimately the rulers of Santa Fe received a warning before the revolt broke out.

This tribe was the most westerly group. Cheyenne tribe hunted and gathered different types of foods as well. They lived by a lot of water, but they would get illnesses from the water. After a while of illness, they left and headed south. Heading south was called 'ancient time'.

The story of the Sevier-Fremont people’s evolution and existence in the Great Basin parallels Williams’ life in Utah during the 1980s. They Sevier-Fremont evolved from the Anasazi
