My Cultural Experience In America

The Wappinger, like other tribes in the region, relied heavily on an agriculture of corn, beans, and squash. Tobacco was also grown for ceremonial purposes. The Wappinger would hunt for deer, wolf, and bear. The Wappinger made soup, cornbread and trail mix.

Although many citizens typically make enough to live and support a family, there are still cases where individuals lack the financial support needed to administer aid to their household. A few factors that hinder members of the workforce are job availability, child care necessities, transportation, and educational requirements. For example, there are people that want to work, but after expenses are paid for transportation, childcare, etc. there is very little left

The tribe lived in thatched houses before which were grass huts shaped like beehives. They had a communal way of life in their permanent habitations. When men went to hunt they build temporary shelters from buffalo hides. Before the modern times, the men dressed in breech clothes and occasionally putting on leather chaps to act as leg protection. Their hair was cut in traditional Mohawk or complete shaving of hair and wore single long tassel of hair on the top of the head. Women kept long hair styled in a bum or braid. They wore wrap around skirts and ponchos. In the modern times traditional dress and face paints are only reserved

Obtain Food: They grew crops of corn, beans, pumpkins, and squash. The rainfall made the land very potent for growing crops and keeping up with a farm. During the winter they hunted buffalo, although they are mainly agricultural. Animals in the area included Bison, deer, elk, bear, porcupine, antelope, prairie dogs, eagles, and wolves.

The Indians lived in villages that ranged in size from 20 to 100 houses and in

dedicated farm women. They took care of all of the food, clothing and just about anything else

As suggested earlier, small bodies of water that may have been present provided the tribe a source of drinking water. Since they have terms for cow, pig, calf, and sheep but no terms for beef, pork, veal, leather, or mutton, it is most likely that the tribe did not slaughter these animals for food or clothing. The tribe lived among these animals, and one might assume they valued them as living creatures. Based on the focus on grains, one might also assume that they are vegetarians based on the provided data; however, while they did not eat red meat, the possible presence of rivers and lakes suggests the availability of fresh water fish.

Early people were hunter-gatherers. They ate large and small birds, fish, mice, grasshoppers, crabs, snails, mollusks, fruit, nuts, wild cereals, vegetables, fungi, and other plants.

Lived in tipis and their main foods were buried corn dried berries rice reserves fish the men’s task are spearfishing, traded fur and skins. Sheltered wooded area. The men spearfished during winter.syrup, sugar and hard candies Small game like chipmunks birds and rabbits Muskrat Whatever is left from winter.

requirement, they are living below the poverty level. This type of poverty is at an epidemic level

Arriving at a foreign country at the age of eleven years old was and exiting and yet intimidating experience. High buildings, wide roads, newer and nicer cars on the streets were some of the first things I noticed when I arrived to the city of Los Angeles CA. Living in a country where you were not born in could be difficult some times. Although Spanish is spoken at a grand scale in CA, it was difficult to communicate with and understand the teachers from my classes at the elementary level since all they spoke was English. Los Angeles is a city of great diversity, therefore it is believed to be the perfect place for any person arriving from another country to not feel like a foreign, such believe

The food and the environment gave these Indian tribes their identity. They lived around streams and rivers which allowed them to harvest different types of corns, beans, squashed, or even catch fish. But their main source of meat came from deer, bear, and woodland buffalo. The Native Americans food supply changed because as they were forced to relocate their homes, their diets had to change to adjust to the new, strange environment. During the late 1770s domesticated livestock was introduced to the Choctaws, which provided a new source of food to replace deer meat in their diet. The deer population had decreased throughout the Southeast due to hunting deer skin to trade with English and French agents. Other foods thats were introduced included domesticated pigs and potatoes, and some families had fields of

Their primary source of food was buffalo, especially after the arrival of horses to assist them, but they also hunted deer, elk, turkey, fox and other animals.

The men and the older boys did most of the farm work. They also did most of the hunting and fishing. The women and older girls made family clothes and prepare the meals.

• The family is living is living at the poverty level. The mother is working full-time but only making slightly more than minimum wage.
