Some Common Features Of North American Indian Culture

Although both North American, Mesoamerican, and South American Indians were similar in that they were polytheistic since they worshipped several Gods and they lived according to their environment. In fact, geography played a critical role in their lifestyle. In some instances, their predecessors shaped their culture such was the case for the Hopi whose ancestors were the Pueblo who built their homes in the southwest region of the U.S.

The variations in Native American culture were vast and blended through many facets of their everyday lives. Religion, gender roles, and even the materials they viewed as valuable also separated the similarity among these groups.

Between Native American Culture and the society we live in today, there are ample amounts of similarities between the two cultures. Some of the things we share in common are ceremonies, respect for animals and nature, good and bad competition and good and evil create a common world. “Coyote and the Buffalo”, “World on the Turtle’s Back”, and “Brother Bear” show us the many similarities we have with the Native Americans. For example we have just about the same respect for animals and nature as the Native Americans did. We also have ceremonies like church, wedding, funerals and much more. We are also in constant competition. It may may not be the same competition as the Native Americans but we are constantly fighting for our grades, our sports and sometimes our friend. It is not always good

Many aspects of Native American culture can be seen in their literature. Native Americans showed a high respect to nature and often viewed animals as equal in rights to humans. Myths of creation, nature, social order, and relations towards other tribes are often topics of literature. Animism was a commonly shared belief of Native Americans. They believed that souls and spirits existed in nature and that forces of nature were controlled by spirits.

Native American culture originated in some parts North America. These countries are known as the United States of America and some parts of Canada. In the United States, there are 6.6 million Native Americans, which form about 2.0 percent of the population (Bureau, 2016). Europe had realized there were about 50 million people already living the “new world” and these people were called Native Americans. Native Americans were originally called Indians, but later through history they formed a new name. These people were called this because of them being native to the “new world” and the American part came after the colonist named the United States. Throughout history, Native Americans believed that using raw material in nature was the best way to provide for their people. Their culture thought no part of an animal should go to waste. They would eat the meat, use the skin for clothing, and make jewelry from the bones. Over the years a lot of their culture and customs were lost due to conforming with society. Their languages were referred to as “Indigenous Languages” because of them being extremely complicated and diverse. Some important factors that help understand the foundation of Native American culture are their rituals/practices, death ceremonies, holidays, family, and stereotypes.

If I were to explain Iowa’s culture and history to travelers by taking them to different events and locations, I would take them two places including the Iowa Great Lakes and the Viking Drive In in Ventura, Iowa. I would also take them to 3 different events in Iowa including the Iowa State Fair, Ragbrai, and Tree Town. When traveling to these places and going to the events, they would be able to experience and see for themselves what it is like to live in Iowa and what Iowans do for leisure.

If you use the internet to research the meaning of a resource it comes up with this “a stock or supply of money, materials, staff, and other assets that can be drawn on by a person or organization in order to function effectively”(Dictionary.com). Looking at it from a perspective with no indigenous background or knowledge, one might think that it sounds perfectly correct. Something that has use for people and it is only stated as for use by people. But what's wrong with that definition is that it almost strips animacy completely from humans and does for plants, minerals, and various other organisms. My thesis is that these “resources” are animate and the Potawatomi Native American way of personification is an accurate way to practice sustainability

Once the gold rush took place, rumors abounded that there was gold located on Sioux land.​

Every culture is different. From different countries, to different states, to different cities to different families. From a very young age each person establishes a culture of their own, revolving around beliefs, traditions and morals. Growing up, many people attend church with their parents. There, they learn how they ae expected to behave, what holidays they will celebrate, and sometimes that is where they make their first set of friends. When someone moves to a new place where they are expected to change their culture, the transition can be very difficult. For example, if someone attends the same church for the first ten years of their life, but then ends up switching due to uncontrollable circumstances, such as a parent getting deployed,

In these cultures (Native American, Puritan, African) and including mine, we all have a religion and in these religions we believe in a God. We all have similar beliefs in are religions. Such as another place we go when we die like Heaven. These beliefs aren’t the exact same because the Puritans believe in one God and one God only.

Like the rest Native American territories they mostly rely on the Federal Government for support. But that isn’t helping them enough with money and resources to keep the culture around.

The United States of America being the third largest country in the world with more than 315 million inhabitants, consists of multicultural societies with ethnically diverse population. Since there are a lot of foreigners, the US culture has evolved in such a way accepting and tolerating other foreign cultures. US is very much influenced by protestant work ethics according to which people believe in themselves and their efforts to attain the goal of self-actualization and success.
