Garo Tribe

The Maidu lived in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, in North Central California. They lived in villages with around two hundred people in them. Their homes were made from earth, bark and brush. The land provided animals and plants for them to eat. Everyone work clothes that were made from animal hide. Tools helped them hunt, build houses and survive. The Maidu Indians are an interesting tribe.

The tribe that I am researching for my curriculum module is the Kootenai Tribe. In this project I would like to learn the history of this tribe; from their first encounter with western settlers to the present times. I would also like to know the political history, and the impacts that this tribe has had on treaties and other government documents. This tribe has peaked my interest in the last few years because, after living in Montana all my life I have heard a lot about the Salish Tribe, but not the Kootenai. I want to know why that is, and why if the Salish and Kootenai joined together on the Flathead Reservation and created the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes, why is the Kootenai history ignored?

According to Miner, Nacirema is a little-known tribe living in the North America territory between the Canadian Cree, the Yaqui and Terahumare of Mexico, and the Carib and Arawak of the Antilles.

The Hualapai people are a tribe of Native Americans that are currently living in northwestern Arizona. The name Hualapai means “People of the Tall Pines”(“About Hualapai”). These people have a rich history that is passed on by oral tradition. These people have influences in hunting (“About Hualapai”). Through history, these people have not lost their culture and traditions.

The Chimariko was a small group that is now part of list of extinct tribes in America. According to Kroeber (1976,109) they are a descendent of the Hokan, it is noted that they maintained their original language better than other groups such as Shasta and Pomo. (109) The Chimariko were estimated to be at 250 people in 1849, six people in 1903, and according to Kroeber “In 1906 there remained a toothless old woman and a crazy old man.” (1976,109)

The ribbon shirt was also made of calico fabric just as the tear dresses. Calico fabric is made from unbleached, not fully processed cotton. The sleeves were also ¾. The men traditionally wore the turban made from the same material. Men of the tribe still sport the turbans today. They wore breechcloths and leggings. They would often decorate their faces and bodies with tribal art. During war times, they would paint their bodies bright colors as tradition. Women did not do this.

The best know Plateau group are the Nimiipuu, which mean the people, but everyone know them as the Nez Perce. Nez Perce is from the French which means “pierced nose,” although that none of the Nez Perce people have their nose pierced. Washington, Oregon, and Idaho was the original region of the Nimiipuu people. Their area also included the Bitterroot Mountains, Snake River, and the Clearwater Valley. There was 70 permanent villages that included 6,000 Nimiipuu living in them during 1805.

Although the Nacirema tribe has very unique methods and focus on the human body and appearence, they are similar to our society. I feel like this tribe's beliefs are particularly similar to ours because they try to achieve "beauty" just like we try to be "prettier" or "perfect". The Nacirema can be described as a weird/unique tribe because they use torture to achieve their beliefs. One thing that striked me as particularly odd was the "mouth-rite" and "latispo" rituals because the people knew that they might die if they went through them and they still do it. They do this because they want to fit in and it is also something that has been tought all their lives. In a way, we also go through a type of torture when we decide on changing the way

Some may argue that Native Americans live a decent life with the aid that the United States has given them. Americans feel that the reservations that Native Americans are given is the proper way to respect their lands and culture, by allowing them to have a small portion of what was once all of their territory. According to USA.gov, there is the National Tribal Preservation Program to help tribes protect resources and traditions important to them. This provides Native American tribes with the assistance that they need to maintain their way of life and cultural ideals. Yet Blackfoot Indians have been forcibly migrated and partially integrated into society without any aid. The United States government has neglected the Blackfoot Indians by degrading their culture and subjecting them into bitter

The Yurok tribe, although mostly assimilated in present times, has continued to thrive and protect their culture. The Yurok tribe has endured a sordid history. The tribe has suffered great atrocities at the hands of western culture. The Yurok went from being a thriving people, to being assimilated, almost to the point of ethnocide, (Kottak) and finally forced to live in a small area that was once a part of their vast ancestral land. The Yurok people have strived up until the present to keep their culture alive. In this essay I will be discussing what the Yurok tribe is like today, what problems they face politically and socially, and what the tribe is doing to combat these issues.

My Native American Tribe are called The Anasazi. The name of their culture group is Ancient Pueblo People or Ancestral Puebloans. The Anasazi lived in the Four Corners area of the Southwest United States, in what is now northern Arizona, southern Utah, southwestern Colorado, and northwestern New Mexico. They farmed beans, squash and corn, ate wild plants and hunted mice and rabbits. The Anasazi also hunted deer and bighorn sheep less frequently.

The indigenous people that used to call the Noosa Shire home were part of the Gubbi Gubbi or Kabi Kabi people. The exact number of indigenous population is unknown but from accounts from explorers and journalists in the 1860s say there were several hundred aboriginals living on the Noosa waterways. The Gubbi Gubbi tribe visited the Noosa area for 40 000 years before the first Europeans arrived in the 1800s. The Aborigines lived as far north as Fraser Island, south to Pumicestone Passage and west to Conondale and Blackall Ranges. This region is a sacred retreat used for celebrations like the annual Bunya Nut Festival.

Trade and immigration influenced the spread of Hinduism throughout the world: “Hinduism spread to…Southeast Asia. Indian Brahmins may have arrived in the area through trade…they [the rulers] seemed to have gravitated to…the Hindu religious practices” (Opposing Views). Whilst migrating from country to country in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, Indian immigrants searched for jobs, and once becoming wealthy, mandirs sprung up like livestock around the country of Great Britain. In addition, in 1906, the

However this harmony was short lived. By the seventeenth century Muslim rule under the strict rule of Mughal leader, Aurangzeh, over the Hindus began. Aurangzeh imposed taxes upon the Hindus, destroyed their temples often converting them to mosques, and sometimes even forced them to covert to Islam. By the eighteenth century the Mughal empire had disbursed and the British began to obtain increasing power. The British colonialism of India led to the unification of Hindus and Muslims, for both opposed the British officers and resentment grew as they were denied jobs and high positions government.

The birth of Bangladesh-the first state to be born in blood and fire in a polycentric world has been a unique case, as the following analysis shows. There is hypothesis that political factors, rather than economic, ethnic and cultural one, were catalyst of Bangladesh revolution.
