Elden Pueblo was home to The Sinagua. The Sinagua is a early Spanish term for “without water”. The Sinagua people lived off a hunting and gathering lifestyle. They hunted animals like elk and mule deer. They fathered plants in the forest and grew crops. They had farm plots with a system of check dams and irrigation ditches. This allows the water to reach the plants. Their homes consisted of a stone-lined pithouse. In the 11th Century, Sunset Crater erupted. There was also a twenty year drought which displaced many people to seek location in higher elevations. This is why there was a pithouse village in the San Francisco Peaks. There were also Pueblos that were above-ground masonry dwellings. They housed one family in each two to three room …show more content…
This made Elden Pueblo an important trade center. The trade ranged from the Southwest. There were people who would trade shell jewelry all the way from the Gulf of California and the Pacific Ocean. The indigenous people rarely made pottery, but received more from other Puebloan tribes. Archaeologists who studied the Sinagua people noticed they had a clan system. This discovery was made when they noticed rare artifacts. There were nose plugs, carved bone hair pins, bird effigy vessels, and turquoise mosaics in the shape of frogs and birds. They also built expensive villages to give a more social system. There were community ceremonial chambers, courtyards, and ball courts. They also buried high status individuals with offerings like ceramics, ands, baskets, and jewelry. Because of the twenty year drought many families started to move into Elden Pueblo. With the drought there was not many crops growing because of the shorter growing seasons. However, with more people to feed and hydrate it became harder for people to survive. This caused families to leave Elden Pueblo. They burned their rooms and gathered their belongings.The Sinaqua emerged with the Hopi and Zuni cultures, however the Elden Pueblo was not forgotten in their culture and still continued to have oral traditions and
In the Ulladulla area the Budawang Tribe inhabited the Conjola, Lake George to Moruya, the Budawang tribe spoke Dhurga, which is an Aboriginal language spoken from Jervis Bay to Wallaga Lake.

"My People the Sioux" is a good literary work written in 1928. This book leaves an everlasting impression with some because it definitely intensifies the sympathy for the Indians. Luther Standing Bear, also known as Plenty Kill, portrays the dramatic and traumatic changes about the Sioux throughout their traditional way of life. As a young boy growing up, he experienced many of these hardships first hand between his people and the whites. This autobiography is quite valuable as it helps allow us to envision what really happened in the battling times of the Indians. Luther stated this quote, which to me, is unforgettable and very well said. It reads:
Who really are the Cheyenne Indians? According to historians, they were Indian people who became nomadic and moved to the Great Plains in the 18th century (Berkin 366). Another tribe, the Souix, developed the name of "people of a different language" for the Cheyenne. Some people said that the Cheyenne did not exist until the mid-1600s or at least this is when the earliest known records were found. They are one of the most famous and prominent Plains tribes, too.

The Cahuilla were a Native Southern Californian tribe that occupied the Riverside County, Higher Palomar Mountain Region and East Colorado Desert. The tribe was divided into two groups or moieties know as Wildcats or Coyotes.

However, with the remains of their pieces of tools and other goods across the lands in different villages it can be speculated that some groups of Native Americans had social relations with others, or had mobile groups spread across the lands. For example, the clovis was an instrument used for hunting by the Paleo-Indian groups. The Clovis and Folsom peoples, and has been found in animal and village remains across the land. Judging that their groups traveled a lot this means that they built social connections with other groups. Leaving behind many small villages of fewer people for archaeologists to excavate. Additionally, social constrictions are seen in the people who follow after the Paleo-Indian peoples who focused more on hunting and gathering, but relied heavily more on natural foods such as fruits and nuts. As a result of this gathering technique for food supply, more villages were formed beginning with the archaic peoples. I believe this had led to the evolution of larger populations in native villages as I had read throughout Plog’s book that the villages got bigger with the increased use farming agricultural goods such as maize and beans. Rather than small campsites, villages rose as a result such as the Shabik’eschee peoples in Chaco Canyon. The development of village life led to new cultural customs such as cremation of the dead and preserved
The Pueblo Indians lived in the area of America that is now named New Mexico. Just like the Wampanoag Indians in Massachusetts, the Pueblo Indians tied spirituality to the land they lived on. Their creation story shows some of the spiritual bonds to their land. “…With the aid of Badger and Locust, the sisters climbed though a hole in the ground and at once created the mountains, lakes, and canyons of Pueblo country” (Sando 22). Since the Pueblos believed that their people had actually
