Significance Of The Selected Image Does Not Have An Official Title

In each image, I picked, I looked up how women were viewed in their culture and throughout the years. The first image I choose is the chief lady of Pomeiooc and her daughter. In 1585, the image was drawn by John White, who was an English traveler and the founder/ governor of the “lost Colony” of Roanoke (Carolina Algonquian tribe in eastern North Carolina). North Carolina was inhabited by a number of native tribes that share some culture traits. At the time more than thirty Native American tribes were living in North Carolina. They spoke languages derived from three language groups, the Siouan, Iroquoian, and Algonquian. The next image is a cartoon called “a society of patriotic ladies” by the British print on 1774. On October 1774, Edenton

In addition, each group was descended from a very large and powerful tribe that had occupied their land before them. The Mississippi River tribes of the 1400s were descended from the powerful tribe of Cahokia, or the mound-builders. When Cahokia began to decline in the 1350s (possibly due to climate change, more specifically a sudden drop in temperature), the group formed subdivisions with different leaders who fought for power over the large tribe. Eventually, many of these subgroups moved to different parts of the river with their families and a few others, forming small villages of 500 to 2,000 people. The result was many Mississippi River tribes living near each other, but not necessarily in harmony with each other. Though these groups would trade with each other and were not openly hostile, they never managed to regain the unity that the Cahokia tribe had possessed, and that the Pueblo had as well. The unity of the Pueblo tribes is due at least in part to the powerful tribe that existed before them, as well. While the Cahokia devolved into many separate tribes, creating a power struggle that fractured the formerly strong tribe into several small rival tribes, the group who had occupied the land where the Pueblos lived, the Anasazi, seemed to have abandoned their home entirely. So when the Pueblo began to move in, they could start from scratch and grow together. They had no history with each other, and so could form mutually beneficial relationships without the prejudices held by the former members of the Cahokia tribe. Though the Pueblo people were subdivided into many different tribes, the tribes were on good terms and stayed connected through a variety of factors, leading to a more developed sense of unity than the Mississippi River Valley tribes

People often ask, “How did the world begin?”. Some argue the Big Bang Theory, others argue God created Earth Himself. Most Native Americans, however, generally believed their world stemmed from multiple gods, animals, or a phenomenon of nature. Each creation myth was tailored to each individual tribe’s culture, customs, and beliefs. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to compare and analyze the creation stories of two prominent Native American tribes present in Texas: the Comanche and the Apache; warrior tribes that rode fiercely on horseback, and both competed to dominate the Great Plains. These two tribes were fairly similar in their military prowess, but both had a different language, culture, and a remarkably different creation story. From their creation story, one may begin to understand the culture of these two notable tribes.

To begin with, the Cherokee tribe was one of the three primary Native American tribes in South Carolina that called themselves “the real people.” Upward in the mountains, they lived in these villages called “longhouses.” For the girls, their daily lives consisted of doing work in the field, planting and hoeing corn, then harvesting it. On the other hand, the boy’s daily lives consisted of being taught to fish and hunt. Their food was examples of fruits, nuts, corn, pole beans, squash, pumpkins, bottle gourds, and tobacco. Next, the Catawba tribe was another one of the three primary Native American tribes in South Carolina that called themselves the “river people. They used Carolina clay to make their pottery which they were known for. The Catawba dwellers lived in villages that had an open rounding on the top. The Catawbas were primarily farmers because every day they planted crops by the river, fished and hunted. Therefore, the Yemassee tribe was the third primary tribe in South Carolina that was from Spanish Florida. Throughout the summer, they lived on a beach, staying in Wigwams concealed in palmetto leaves. However, during the fall, winter, and spring they stayed in wattle and daub homes with a roof of leaves like the Cherokee. Every day they would eat clams which were part of their diet and equip the land for crops. Women were obligated for child rearing, making clothes, and served food and the men congregated the rest of the food in fishing and hunting.

In this paper I will discuss the history of the Cherokee Indians in the United States. First by describing the tribes pre-Columbian history to include the settlement dates and known cultural details. Then a brief description of the cultural and religious beliefs of the tribe will be given, as well as the tribe’s history after contact with settlers. Finally discussing John Ross, who he was and how he affected the Cherokee Indians.

The Chitimacha Tribe of Louisiana is a part of the southeast Native American tribes. This tribe has been known to be farmers, hunters and gatherers (Southeast American). The extent of this paper will explore the rich tribal history and lifestyles of the Chitimacha tribe. The word Chitimacha is the people’s word for “those living on Grand River”, according to the scholarly article The Historic Indian Tribes of Louisiana: from 1542 to the Present Louisiana by Fred B. Kniffen. This is relevant information because it helps us to better understand the people of this tribe. The Chitimacha tribe is the only to still live in the same place they lived in 1700 (Kniffen). Additionally, the Chitimacha

The Chumash lived along the southern part of California’s warm coastal region. Chumash Indians lived in dome- shaped houses, called aps. Some of the houses could fit up to 70 people. The house was made out of bent willow branches and surf grass. The doorway was covered with a mat of weeds. A fire was usually built in the center of the ap to keep it warm. The ap, therefore, had an opening in the roof to allow smoke from cooking to come out. Each Chumash village usually had houses, a sweat lodge, buildings for storing food, and an area for ceremonies.

They used what is known as a diffused substinance pattern. By this we mean that by using resources available to them lightly as opposed to intensely using the same resources, they were conserving for the future. These tribes would spiritualize nature. In this culture everything was significant. They held reverence for the environment and a strong kinship with nature. Often these people observed respectful guidelines to avoid spiritual retaliation. For instance, the bones of the beaver would be returned to the river where it had been trapped. This was believed to keep the beavers there plentiful.

This paper addresses the results of interviews, observations, and research of life in the Ottawa tribe, how they see themselves and others in society and in the tribe. I mainly focused on The Little River Band of Ottawa Indian tribe. I researched their languages, pecking order, and interviewed to discover the rituals, and traditions that they believe in. In this essay I revealed how they see themselves in society. How they see other people, how they see each other, what their values were, what a typical day was etc. I initially suspected that I would have got different responses from these questions but in reality the results in the questions were almost completely the same. I studied this topic because mostly all the people that are

The oral history of these people talk about how groups or bands of people were entrusted to care for the environment and resources within their ancestral territory (About The Hualapai Nation, 22). They are descendants of a group called the Cerbat (“Hualapai Tribe”). The tribe’s ancestral territory estimated to be about five million acres (About The Hualapai

When initially looking at the iconic black and white photo, one sees a woman and two children. After closely examining the image, one sees the third child, an infant, being held by the woman.The woman is not looking directly at the camera, but the audience is able to see her gaze. The woman’s eyebrows are furrowed causing her face to appear as worried with a look of desperation. Looking more meticulously at the woman, one will notice that she has a slight frown. The woman is able to show her stress by using her right hand to pull down slightly on her face. Aside from the woman, there are three children in the photograph. Two of the children are facing away from the camera with their heads rested on the woman’s shoulder. The third child is an infant who seems to be sleeping while this photograph was taken. The woman and children in the photo are migrants that are trying to survive the Great Depression and

More than four thousand years ago, the Patwin Indians were the first tenants of the region now known as the City of West Sacramento. These Native Americans set up towns on the west bank of the Sacramento River and their individuals regularly numbered in the hundreds. The Patwin Indians exploited the copious characteristic assets offered by the area and water encompassed them. They chased and angled; they additionally created wicker container, angling nets, watercrafts, pontoons from willows, intense grasses, and vines. The majority of their needs were given by their surroundings.

The Cahokian Chief is a ruler of our Mississippian civilization. The political structure that Cahokia operates under is a chiefdom in which the chief is a hereditary leader over a group of towns. Chiefdoms are based on the communal culture of gift-giving and commercial links and trade routes and this is what supports our city. The chief has the most power over us – he controls our land and economy and the rest of us are considered subordinate to our chief. A part of the chief’s job is to organize us through different obligations such as tribute, shared labor, and rituals. We tend to the fertile land, which provides us with an abundance of maize, beans, and squash. The land is so fertile along the Mississippian river where we live; we attribute the abundance of maize to our corn goddess. The agriculture we tend to is delivered to the chief and to neighboring communities whether it is a gift or a debt. The chief is so powerful that most of the communities nearby tend to owe our chief tribute or to pay off a debt.

The Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians—twenty-seven tribes talking no less than ten dialects—were united on the Oregon Coast through bargains with the national government in 1853 until 1855. For quite a long time after, the Siletz individuals lost numerous conventional practices, saw their dialects nearly wiped out, and experienced neediness, sick

Native Americans hold a type of esoteric concept that comes from their philosophy of preserving their environment as well as their kinship that ties them together (Access Genealogy, 2009). They not only have social ties, they are politically and religiously organized through their rituals, government, and other institutions (Access Genealogy, 2009). They work together to reside in a territorial area, and speak a common language (Access Genealogy, 2009). They are not characterized by any one certain structure (Access Genealogy, 2009). However, the society agrees on fundamental principles that bond together a certain social fabric (Access Genealogy, 2009). Different Native American tribes throughout the years have had different ideas, opinions, philosophies, which are not always predetermined by their past ancestors.
