Paleolithic Tribe

My group I got was the Incas. The Incas had a unique way of life.

They would also collect nuts, berries, wild fruits, and roots from trees, but when all the resources were extinguished. Their tribe would move on to a new environment with supportable resources. Fire was developed a million years ago and was used in many ways like hunting and foraging, protection against predators, and for cold weather. Some of the Paleolithic people believed in Animism. This is the belief that everything had its own spirit, like people, animals, trees, rivers, mountains, and the sky. This interaction between them developed the visible events of everything around them like weather, health, and wars. In their society they had people known as Shamans or Witchdoctors. They were greatly respected and at the same time greatly feared because they were said to have some special powers that could be worked to the good or bad of the community. These societies engaged themselves in rituals like war dances, hunting dances, rain dances, and medicine dances. This was said to shape a favorable destiny to the community by controlling the unseen spirits. Paleolithic art is normally oriented with hunting scenes, animal carvings, animals, or fertility.

The first native american tribe is the Cherokee and they were a very empowering tribe from the family iroquoian and with holding the whole mountain region of the alleghenies in southwest virginia . The daily life of the Cherokee was that they ate deer, turkey, berries, potatoes, pumpkin, fish and they lived in villages but in each village there were longhouses not just any ol’ regular house and the cherokee was also called the real people .

Did you know that pre pre columbians tribes used fire for smoke signals. I believe fire is important for a tribe to have. Fire is important because they used it to cook, keep warm, and to clear land. This is why I think fire is important.

Despite the intense efforts to uncover information on the prehistoric Native Americans occupying the Washington Coast, very little archaeological evidence has been uncovered to suggest prehistoric occupation (Cole, et.al, 1996). A finding that fiercely contrasts with the early historic record, which projects a population total of 6,000, and as such, should demonstrate heavy if not consistent findings within the region (Cole, et.al, 1996). However, this is not the case for the Washington State coastline. Despite the extent of research that has been conducted from 1976-1994, the archeological findings along the Southern Washington Coastline are nonexistent, less for what has been found upon the surface. Cole and associates attempted to find the missing link between as to where the evidence may have gone. In 1990 two geologist accidentally uncovered prehistoric fishing camps in the interdial zone, covered by mud from an earthquake that occurred 300 years ago (Cole, et.al, 1996). By studying the geophysical qualities of Southern Washington (1700 AD), Cole and associates, discover that seismic activity at the Cascadia subduction zone caused not only an earthquake, but a substantial Tsunami, which worked to bury the

Battle between European kingdoms incited to an eagerness for states and trading posts that may sustain the rising nations. This expansionism familiar Europeans with African and American social requests that had created over several years, and the social correspondence that took in the wake of starting contacts between these human headways fundamentally affected western history. American Societies first there was Paleo (Indians) Paleo Indians arrived some place in the scope of 12,000 to 14,000 years earlier and made due by pursuing sweeping preoccupation. As the distinctive items, and wherever cultivating ruled the economy, complex human progressions flourished. Horticulture was an essential key as of now fundamentally that is the place most the cash and nourishment supply originated from.

The Ojibwe tribe, who believed spirit animals guide their way through life, had a very interesting history, geography, culture, and have a surprising current status. Getting along with traders in their history wasn’t always easy in the Ojibwe history. The culture of the Ojibwe is not like many tribes in the area their way of life is different because most of the Ojibwe lived in the middle of Lake Superior. In the present day, the Ojibwe people have surprisingly not kept a lot of their customs.

The hohokam were known to be pioneers of vast and complex irrigation systems in southern Arizona that helped them to support one of the largest populations in pre contact North America.

Washington, Florida, and Amherst all have one thing in common: they have a mascot or name that is affiliated with a Native American tribe of North America. In recent years, more and more citizens have become concerned with political correctness and trying to change the world so that oppressed groups can finally feel respected and recognized. There is always much debate surrounding changing mascots, as some parties seek to move the country forward, while others fight for their traditions. With an issue as emotionally charged as this, discussing changing the very fibers that weave our country together, it is important to observe how each side of the debate is represented. As the quote goes, “There are three sides to every story – yours, mine and the truth.”

The Ancient Puebloans were a prehistoric Native American civilization. They first appeared around 1200 B.C, whom are known as the early Native Americans, first settled in the plateau area. They were first nomadic hunters and gatherers, then later started cultivating crops and building permanent dwellings. They are split into two groups, Basket Makers and the Puebloans. By 1300 A.D, some say due to a drought, or a “nuclear winter”, or the increase of violence; the Four Corners Area had been abandoned, many abandoned settlements were left, leaving behind pots and baskets. Many people are not certain on what happened to them, their disappearance is still questioned.

The first American Tribes that populated in 1492 estimated to reach into the millions. During that time, a minimum of 2,000 distinct languages existed. The most complex and agriculturally based cultures developed in many regions and Mississippi river valley. Smaller tribes were made up of hunters and gathers while the most sophisticated tribes cultivated plants for many things. One example of how the sophisticated tribes differentiate from the smaller tribes is how they would reshape natural environments to suit the tribe’s needs.

#3 Surviving evidence enables people to reconstruct the Paleolithic human’s religious beliefs. The lives of Paleolithic women mirrors their spiritual world that were distinctly feminine and beliefs in their cyclical view of time, such as birth, menstruation, pregnancy, and death. Gods that existed in the Paleolithic era, such as Creator deity, spirits of the dead, and the lesser gods explains that some people were monotheistic, while others were polytheistic. Additionally, certain tribe members were able to see natural forces that were contained within natural elements. Their interaction with the spiritual world included many ceremonies that sometimes lasted for weeks, however, without any professional priests. Shamans, usually talented tribe

The Quapaw are a Native American tribe originally located in the lower Mississippi Valley. As a tribe, they had a peaceful lifestyle, at least until outer influence with other countries, such as France. While they cooperated peacefully with the French, and later the U.S., that cooperation has been nothing but a source of great misery for them. Both the French and the U.S failed to see them as human beings, and they were repeatedly been off and cheated out of their land. They are thought to have formed in the Ohio Valley, but slowly migrated into the lower Mississippi Valley sometime before 1673 (as that was when they were first observed by Europeans) before their forced relocation by the U.S. to Kansas. According to Simon Audrey, author of

While Hull spent her time in the Yaxbe Village, she observed their customs and religious practices, mainly the syncretism of Catholics and Mayas. Anthropologists have always been interested in the religious lives of non-Western people and have come to recognize that religions are valid symbolic systems that reflect the cultures and shape the value systems in the societies where they are found. (2004:88) Religion, in an anthropological perspective, is the beliefs of native people and their corresponding rituals. Religion adds supernatural beliefs, such as the origin of the universe, spirits and demons in nature, to explain the unexplainable world through symbols. (2004:88)

The woodland tribes lived east in a huge area between the Mississippi and the Rocky Mountains. The is a few trees but lots of wildlife. One of the most important animals were the buffalo. These tribes were well known for their religious ceremonies, hunting skills and warpath customs. Since the buffalo would always move around the indians needed a shelter in the woodland. So in order to have shelters they made teepees. A teepee was made from leaning poles together and covering them with buffalo hide. The few tribes that didn't move around lived in dome-shaped grass lodges covered in mud.One of the important ceremonies was the Sun Dance. This was usually a four day celebration in the summer. Dancers all moved in sync and didn't eat or drink.
