Iroquois Compare And Contrast

The Inuit, Haida, and Sioux were some of the very first people in Canada. These three groups were the same and different in many ways. Their way of life is very interesting in many ways. They are all alike in some ways, and the Inuit, Haida, and Sioux are very different.

There are many similarities and differences between Inuit, Eastern Woodlands Hunters, and Eastern Woodlands Farmers. They are different because they had different regions, environment, and history. They are have similarities like where in the world they lived and came from.

Native Americans were the first people to live in America before any other man came. It is believed that the Native Americans came from Asia way back during the Ice Age through a land bridge of the Bering Strait. When the Europeans first set foot on America, there were about 10 million Native Americans living in America, North of Mexico (“American”). Native Americans had all separated and made their own tribes. Some of the many Native American tribes that still exist are those of the Iroquoian tribes, consisting of five, now six,

You might be thinking to yourself, the Innu and Inuit people MUST be the same since they have the “same” name but the Innu people are different. For example, the housing that the Innu people mostly did was a wigwam. A wigwam is a type of shelter that is made from birch bark and wooden frames. The housing is different from the Inuit people because the Inuit people created igloos made from ice cubes, not birch bark. Also, the Innu people had hunting leaders for hunting groups when they went to hunt caribou, fish, and some more meat. This is different than the inuit people hunting “plans” because they didn’t have hunting leaders, they just went hunting whenever basically. There are a lot more differences the Innu people did compared to Inuit people but these are some of the ones that stuck out to me.

In the winter, the Dakota lived in tipis in sheltered wooded areas, the Ojibwe lived in wigwams also in sheltered areas. Ojibwe lived in bark lodges in the spring, the Dakota lived in bark houses basically the same thing or tipis. Like in winter the Ojibwe lived in wigwams during the fall. With the Dakota they lived in tipis for fall and winter. Summer, the Ojibwe lived in bark lodges, as for the Dakota they lived in bark houses, same camp same dwelling.

The Native American tribes populated different regions of America, causing them to adapt to different ways of life while nonetheless still sharing some similar practices. The Chinook tribe from Western North America, the Comanche tribe from the Great Plains, and the Cherokee tribe from Eastern North America had some differences and similarities in economic development, social diversification, and lifestyle.

The Canadian Arctic are known as the Inuit, which they are commonly known as Eskimos. The Inuit is a subculture of a Native American culture and they are losing their homelands due to weather changes. Even though the Inuit were the last Native American people to arrive they were one of the first people in Canada. They settled in Canada and they made their own customs. They have many different types of elements like of religion, art, clothings, and customs and traditions.

groups. They are the Algonquin, the Inuit, and the Iroquoian. Since the time of the Aboriginals and still

In Matthew Dennis’ article, “The League of the Iroquois,” he focusses a lot of his attention on drawing comparisons between the Iroquois and the ancient civilization of Rome. Dennis even goes on to quote Dewitt Clinton in his address to the New York Historical Society in 1811 in which he refers to the Iroquois as “the Romans of the western world.” After personally studying the Iroquois nation over the course of this semester, I am surprised that I had not already made this stark comparison. Indeed, while looking at the two groups side by side, it is hard to not see how they could metaphorically be distant cousins of one another, separated by a few hundred years and an ocean.

The first people of Canada have many similarities and differences.The Inuit,plains people, and plateau people have similarities and differences on many things.The Inuit,Plains People, and plateau people have differences in religion,food,tools, and more, but they also have similaraties in art, clothing, and more.

To begin with, they faced a lot of challenges. They both need to hunt whale for their supplies. So it took days to hunt this animal for both groups, the Inuit had to make igloos for safety in case there’s a storm. They both faced challenges by traveling. The Inuit had to bring their houses with them when they traveled and the Haida have to travel in rivers with 60 foot canoes. Overall, they have a lot in common to live in different places.

The Haida live in the forest and the Inuit live in the cold harsh Arctic Circle. These two tribes have many things in common even if they are far away each other. Both use the same tools like spears, harpoons; they each eat seafood like whale, fish and other seafood. It is very windy and also very cold ware the Inuit live. Where the Haida live it is muggy and hot also rainy.

The Inuits live in really harsh conditions in the Arctic. They have lived there for a really long time. They live in a place called Nunavut. They are brave to live there. They are not able to make wooden homes, because of their climate region, so they make snow houses called “Igloos”. In the summer, when the snow melts, they cannot make igloos. They live in tent like huts made of animal skins. Inuit communities are found in the: Northwest Territories, Labrador, and Quebec.

The beginning difference between Indian tribes that formed were the structures of their houses. In the Alaskan region Indians lived in rectangular, plank houses called Kwakiutl. However in the Wichita area the tribes lived in domed, thatched houses. In the Prairie area the people would form earth lodges and in the Northeast the Algonquians designed a barrel-roofed rectangular house. The style and

This chapter offers a brief, though insightful, overview of Iroquois history, and traditional beliefs and societal structure. Men and women worked together to survive, men hunting or fishing and when working the fields and foraging. Families lived together in longhouse and the eldest female of a line was the dominant figure within the longhouse. Although, ideally, a husband would live with his wife’s family, it seems that did not always occur. Divorce was common, and often fathers did not live in the same longhouse as their children. Children often shared a close relationship to their fathers, however, it was often their mother and an uncle who raised the children.
