The Plains Indians ensued two principal varieties of life: farming and hunting. The farmers lived in perpetual villages. These tribes were the Arikaras, Pawnees, and Wichitas (who spoke languages of the Caddoan family) and additionally the Mandans, Hidatsas, Omahas, Otos, and Osages (who spoke Siouan languages). Their residences within the northern plains were generally fabricated from logs coated with dirt. Within the southern plains, their residences were coated in grass. Women farmed, prepared, and preserved food crops. The men hunted, fished, and cultivated tobacco. Twice the year the men would endure extended hunting trips for buffalo. Once within the early summer after their crops were planted and so once more in autumn after the harvest. …show more content…
Army grew out of the westward movement of Americans. The territorial accessions of the Mexican War of 1846–48, followed by the discovery of gold in California, set off a migration across the plains that ended only in the final decades of the nineteenth century as farmers and stockmen began to occupy the plains themselves. Plains warfare, however, centered mainly on securing the transcontinental travel routes and protecting travelers rather than actual residents from Indian aggression. Indian hostility arose from resentment over the inroads of travelers on such Indian resources as game, timber, and grass. Typically, the major wars with the Plains tribes followed treaties negotiated by government commissioners that bound the Indians to settle on a designated reservation. The military was then called in to make them go, or to make them return once they had moved, discovered the misery of reservation life, and …show more content…
The army maintained a system of forts at strategic locations and fielded heavy offensive columns burdened by slow‐moving supply trains. The Indians fought with hit‐and‐run tactics that exploited environmental factors and avoided open engagement unless the risk was small. The individual warrior excelled over the typical regular in virtually every test of combat proficiency, but in open battle, this was offset by military organization, discipline, command, and firepower. In general, the army prevailed when the Indians abandoned their orthodoxy and fought by white rules, or when commanders abandoned their orthodoxy and fought by Indian
Taylor describes how most of their well being was based around horticulture, a couple of annual trips dedicated to hunting buffalo. Subsequently, the author spoke to the religion of the tribes in the Great Plains which, like most Native religions, was based on a dualism between life and death. A few tribes were not villages, instead living a nomadic lifestyle and following the herds of buffalo wherever they roamed. The nomads became collectively known as the Apache. Almost everything they ate, wore, and owned was provided by the buffalo.
The Indians that had fought General Custer had actually fought a battle against an even larger American Army Force only 10 days earlier. In mid June of 1876 General George Crook and approximately 1325 American soldiers, packers, miners and Indian allies moved north1. The intent was to get contingents of the Cheyenne, Sioux and Arapaho to move to reservations.
It marked its last resistance of its population devastated by disease and demoralized by the removal policy pursued by the government. Some tribes including the crow, Arikara, Pawnee and Shoshoni fought alongside US army against their own enemies, the Sioux. In 1877 the army issued an ultimatum come on to the reservation or be hunted down. |
However, in the Great Plains, they lived in tipis (Lewis “Chippewa Indian Fact sheet”). Adapting to their surroundings, the Chippewa tribe learned to utilize the resources around them, such as food. Due to the Chippewa tribe living in different environments, they ate different foods. Some harvested wild rice and corn while some hunted for animals such as buffaloes (Lewis “Chippewa Indian Fact sheet”). Later in history, “on March 28th, 1836, a treaty was signed” and three Chippewa reservations were created (“Chippewa Tribe”).
The military doctrine at the time of Western expansion and the Indian Wars is hard to isolate and condense into a succinct statement. This is due to the fact the United States government wanted to treat the Native Americans with decency while also herding them into smaller areas of land and confining them onto reservations. This “peace policy” was complicated by an excitable populace that was keen on seeking revenge against any suspected provocation from a Native American tribe. Altercations often resulted in the United States military intervening to restore what was being defined at that time as “peace”. Once the military became involved in the pursuit of any tribe, human decency was often pushed to the side in multiple demonstrative manners of ineffective, immoral, and otherwise negative leadership. For example, there were countless murders of innocent Native American noncombatants during the late 19th century; referencing to the Sand Creek Massacre of 1864 in Colorado or the Wounded Knee Massacre of

The Plains Indians were Arapaho, Blackfoot, Cheyenne, Kiowa, and Sioux were nomads who migrated across the grasslands from Mississippi to the Rocky Mountains and Canada down to Mexico. The plains Indians depended on buffalo and the white hunters threatened their means for survival.
My research paper is about the fierce Navajo Indians. The Navajos were a very intense group of Native Americans and were greatly feared by a lot of the surrounding tribes. They were one of last known group of Native Americans to arrive Southwest. The warriors got most of their livestock and horses from stealing them from the surrounding tribes and settlers. According to Mele and Magliocca authors of The Navajos “The Navajo Indians migrated from Canada in 1000 A.D and migrated to the four corners of New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, and Arizona.” The Navajos lived on a reservation that was 14,000 square miles. They lived in little houses called hogans and they were made from brushwood, animal skin, and leaves. Since the tribe was so fierce the warriors
The Plains Indians’ daily lives were different from other tribes because they had a lot less than other tribes when it came to landforms. The Plains Indians daily lives had effects on the people of today with their old artifacts and museums. The Plains Indians mostly hunted bison, deer, elk, or any type of game for meat and very little plants or vegetables (most plants were beans, corn, and squash).Though the Plains Indians had little crops the still did have an area for farming. The Plains Indians clothes were made of buffalo hides and robes and, they wore thick fur coats and moccasins in the winter(they often would use the same animal they just ate and make the skin their clothes).The Plains Indians mostly hunted in the forest.

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
Cherokee Indians were found in the south and southeast commonly in these states North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky, Georgia, West Virginia/Virginia, Alabama, and Tennessee. Old artifacts show that they lived in this region about 11,000 years ago to the present day and that they had very natural reliable resources that they used on a daily basis. The Cherokee Indians had a well-managed system in which they had villages of 60 or less for housing, the women did the cooking, cleaning, farming/harvesting and the men did the hunting and gathering. In the region where the Cherokee’s were known to live at they modified their own weapons, arts/crafts, and clothing also using trees and plants for medicinal uses. The Cherokee Indians were one of
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)

After the Civil War, thousands of Americans poured into the Great Plains on a collision course with western Indian tribes. Homesteaders, ranchers, and miners encroached on Indian lands and threatened native game and ways of life. They called on the U.S. Army to crush Indian resistance and confine tribes to government controlled reservations.
The effect of being Plains Indians located on a reservation in Oklahoma during the 1900. Between 1865 and 1900 there have numerous events that have occurred for the plains Indians that changed their way of thinking, and their way of life here in the United States of America. It all started with as a simple introduction of the horses, buffalo, boarding schools, loss of land and major attacks on the Indians.
