Native American Heritage Research Paper

After the arrival of the Spanish into the New World,the Native Americans lives changed drastically during the 15-16th hundreds. It brought major changes,politically,socially,and economically. The Natives were obviously vulnerable and submissive towards the Spanish.These events that I’m going to talk about shaped and changed the lives of many of Native Americans.It's the most unforgettable history of all times because it was the most unbelievable story.

One Native American tribe in the southeastern region is the Cherokee tribe. The Cherokee tribe was the largest tribe in the southeastern region. They lived in log cabins instead of tee pees the cabins were circular they were made from various materials including cane, plaster, and sticks.. They were mostly farmers. they ate corn, squash, and beans the men however, hunted deer, bear, and turkeys The men of the tribe wore leggings and breechcloth. A breechcloth is a long rectangular piece of clothing. The women wore wraparound skirts made from fiber and deerskin. Men covered themselves with tribal tattoo art and painted themselves bright when they were in a war, but the women did not paint themselves. The Cherokee believed that certain beings created the Earth, moon, and stars, when the fruits of the Earth were

Though obvious to the name, the American Indian Tribes had much to do with the growth of what we now know of as the US. Long ago when the english settlers came over with Columbus, on the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria, they had found that there were people living there, were very different from “the white man”. But the American Indians have been located throughout the states from the very beginning and are still thriving, in some cases. One of the more commonly known, American Indian Tribes is the Cherokee tribe.(WKU Meteorology; Dr. Greg Goodrich)

In the cooler weather, they wore buffalo skin for warmth. The Mexicans eventually influenced their style of dress. They began wearing vests, white tunics and more colorful clothing made from cotton.Storytelling is very important to the Apache Indian culture. Since they were not governed by any set of laws or rules and there were no jails for poor behavior, the Apache relied on passing down a code of conduct orally, from one generation to the next.The Apache were talented in arts and crafts. They were known for their beadwork in which they used shells, glass, and turquoise. They would often sew good luck beads onto war shirts. Basket weaving one of the Apache's oldest known forms of art . The burden basket and bread basket were the most common baskets. They also made jewelry, necklaces, earrings, and barrettes. Both sexes liked to wear shell jewelry.In the early 1800's, the relationships with the first white men to enter the region were solid. By the 1850's things had changed and as the Apache were being driven out of their homes and hunting and gathering was becoming scarce, raids and scalping began to take

Under the custom of Native American tribes that lived in what would become Vermont, land was used by the community, and not owned by individuals or families. They believed that land was a living being, and that people should live in harmony with the land, not dominate it. In contrast, the European settlers thought that people have a moral right to rule over the land. (Hands on the Land, page 70) Samuel D. Champlain in 1609 was the first explorer to sail through the lake between Vermont and New York, that he would be named after. He represented the French, who were the first to want to claim the land.

How did the Native American people groups who shaped North America for centuries become reduced to stereotypes portrayed in movies and other media? What is the place for advocacy and social justice ministries in these communities? These questions captured my attention during my education at Taylor University. At Taylor, most students are not aware of Native American tribes beyond the media portrayal in westerns or sports logos. As I conducted research for the Butler Undergraduate Research conference and the Emmaus Initiative, a nonprofit tracking religious freedom for Christianity, Islam, and Judaism in the United States, it became evident the blind spot regarding Native American studies and advocacy was a national trend. During my future

It is 1492, and many Europeans are hungry for exploration. The “New World” was seen as the future of trade. But there was one problem; the current way of shipping from Asia was by slow land travel, touching many hands before they reached the European market. With a market that was hungry and the means to travel by sea, Christopher Columbus set sail under the endorsement of queen Isabella of Spain, searching for passage to Asia. What Columbus would find was not Asia, but America. This discovery as time would tell, would not come without consequence. In the age of the new world, exploration, conquest and settlement would have consequences for both the people who were adventuring to these new lands as well

The Apache people live in Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado. Their name comes from the Zuni language and means “enemy”. Despite this harsh name, the Apache people still have others refer to them and refer to themselves as Apache. The Apache tribe has many unique cultures and traditions. In order to research the Apache people and avoid distorted information, a primary source was used as well as reference sources such as databases. Freddie Kaydahzinne, the museum director and a member of the Apache tribe answered a few questions about the Apache tribe over the phone.

Several Native American tribes called North Carolina home. Many still do today and haven’t moved much from their original places. The Cherokee are still over by the Appalachian Mountains and the Meherrin continue to be located in Hertford. Some are around but aren’t in the same area we originally knew them to be or just aren’t here (or recognized I should say) anymore such as the Tuscarora tribe from the coastal area that decided to move north when things got rough. Even the Croatan tribe isn’t recognized as a present day tribe and they were said to play a huge part in history here in eastern North Carolina, with the whole “lost colony” thing.

By the time European adventurers came to North America, a lot of things were already not in favor of the Native American people. They had problems ranging from a bad economy to weak empires. Of the many problems, there was also natural disasters that created distress amongst the tribes. These problems are what helped the European adventurers to be able to somewhat easily defeat the European adventurers.

Indians are not light skinned and many Africans are not dark skinned. Every race in the world has people with different skin pigment. For example, in India, many people belonging to certain northern states are very fair skinned you could have sworn they were white because they look similar to any other Caucasian person, but all these people are of Indian decent and all of them belong to the same race as any other persons of Indian decent. Additional, people also belonging to certain Southern states in India, are really dark in skin color just as any other person of African descent but yet still all these individuals are Indians who belong to the exact same race as any other Indian. What i am trying to say is people in the Caribbean needs to change their thinking and so prioritizing people because of their skin tone and this foolish way of one race being better than the other .If any persons belonging to these two races go to any
