They planted the seeds and took care of the crops, in addition to their responsibilities at home when it came to children and the preparation of food.

They were hunters, who often went to war against settlers and other nations to protect their …show more content…
Chippewa men wore breechcloths and leggings. Everybody wore moccasins on their feet and cloaks or ponchos in bad weather. Later, the Chippewas adapted European costume such as cloth blouses and jackets, decorating them with fancy beadwork.

Families assembled in spring to angle, in early winter to chase, and in the mid year they isolated to develop singular planting fields. Young men were educated in the method for the forested areas, where a man's aptitude at chasing and capacity to get by under all conditions were imperative to his family's prosperity. Ladies were prepared from their most punctual years to work perseveringly in the fields and around the family wetu, a round or oval house that was intended to be effortlessly disassembled and moved in only a couple of hours. They likewise figured out how to accumulate and handle normal foods grown from the ground, other create from the living space, and their harvests.

Men and ladies had particular undertakings. Local ladies assumed a dynamic part in a hefty portion of the phases of nourishment creation. Since the Wampanoag depended fundamentally on products gathered from this sort of work, ladies had vital socio-political, financial, and profound parts in their groups. Wampanoag men were for the most part in charge of chasing and angling, while ladies dealt with cultivating and the social event of wild organic products, nuts, berries, shellfish, and so on. Ladies were in charge of up to seventy-five percent of all sustenance
Evidence also from the film “Native Peoples of the Northwest” and the textbook “The Washington Journey”, it says that the Makah men and (sometimes) women would be naked or went with barely any clothing on year-round. This would prove the differences of the Makah to the Perce. The Plateau would use cedar bark, deer skin, or rabbit skin as clothing. This would prove the differences of the Perce to Makah.

This video is about a man named Morgan Spurlock, who spent 30 days on a Native American reservation. The reservation that Spurlock lived on was the biggest Indian reservation called the Navajo Indian reservation. Just before Spurlock got to the reservation his thoughts of how the Navajo people looked and lived were similar to mine. Looking back on all of the images and how the Native American culture is showcased on TV, kind of planted this image in our minds. We both thought that Native Americans wore these huge headpieces made of large colorful feathers, beads, and face paint. The people living in Navajo did not look like that unless preforming some type of ritual.
Here in Michigan we have things like the Soaring Eagle casino in the lower peninsula to remind of us of the Native Americans, and the farther we go north the more refuges we can come across. In Michigan we even have towns and schools like Central Michigan University’s mascot is a the Chippewa named after tribes. I noticed most the Native American tribes are west of the Mississippi river while New York City is the most populated city with Native Americans according to Schaefer, Richard. T. (2015) Table. Largest of the tribes and reservations is the Navajo at the top of the list. Here in Michigan the Chippewa Indians are the largest Native American tribe. Chippewa Indians were one of the few tribes where the people were relocated rather than

They began wearing vests, white tunics and more colorful clothing made from cotton.Storytelling is very important to the Apache Indian culture.

The Paiutes are a Native American Indian tribe “made up of several bands throughout the western part of the United States, also known as the Great Basin region” (Ruby 222). The Northern Paiutes populated areas of Oregon, California, Nevada, and Idaho; and inquiries as to how the environment might have affected their interactions, migration, and social behavior is a topic of great interest in Oregon archeology. The Northern Paiutes “who practiced the ancestral lifeway well into the 19th century, were heirs to an extremely ancient cultural tradition” (Aikens 13). Historical archeological studies found that these groups often “made tools, gathered plants, and hunted animals of similar if not identical kinds” (Aikens 13). Through these similar identities,
The American Psychological Association had found that using representation of the mascots “undermines the educational experiences of members of all communities- especially those who have had little or no contact with Indigenous peoples” (APA). When people view a culture being paraded as a mascot, it can become their singular view and knowledge on the ethnic group. There is nothing to stop the formulation of what students know about Native Americans when there are few natives around. With the allowance of mascots to represent Native American in a way as they do now, wearing headdresses or war paint and using “peace pipes” has become a trend and something “cool” to do. Headdresses are traditionally a part of the Plains tribes and are considered sacred. Only revered warriors or significant people could wear war bonnets or headdresses. Feathers, especially eagle feathers, are very sacred to Native Americans. These appropriations continue to be a negative and demeaning aspect of using Native Americans as
