The Iroquois used nature and their natural resources to provide shelter. The Iroquois made their homes called longhouses from what was around them. In Document #1 it states that they made their homes from sticks and bark, the plant fibers. No scrap of material was ever wasted, it was always used for something else.

The  status of women in Algonquian and Iroquoian society. The Europeans viewed the structure of Native American society lacking the complexity of their own community.  Their drawings and accounts  of the Indian people reveal that the tribe's division of labor and gender roles were actually very advanced, especially where the status of women was concerned. Since  married women in Europe held few rights to their property, family wealth, or even children, women of the tribes had  greater independence and discretion over their produce, conditions of labor, and property.  Native women even served as representatives in the tribal councils, and held  rights over the land they worked.  This  demonstrates that although “women’s work” was belittled in European cultures, Native women’s daily contributions were recognized by Native men and the tribe as a whole as vital to the prosperity of the community and worthy of respect. Analyzing the condition of women in America, a  woman's status in their community was directly related to the social hierarchy, religious culture, and natural environment in which they lived, and that the combination of those ingredients varied vastly  across the continent.

The Natives built and lived in many small teepees, small dwellings, along with massive adobe homes in the woods using the materials they had found among the land

The Spanish reacted peacefully to the lifestyle of the Natives. For example, when they established their rule in America, they did not destroy and ruin the culture and heritage of the Native Americas.Also, intermarriages between the Spanish and the Native Americans became very common since many Spanish conquistadors were males in their 20s. As a result of intermarriage, a new ethnicity was formed; this ethnicity was called mestizos. Mestizos established a cultural peace between the Spanish and the Natives. Culturally, the Spanish and the Natives lived in tranquility.

Chiefs felt at ease to alter aboriginal architectural to suit their own aesthetic appeal and desire. They were quick to “incorporate western notions of domestic space than the commoners in more rural areas”. Now, western elements were considered as only the elite few could afford. The chiefs “opened [their] houses for a more public display of status-enhancing European goods” (Ladegoged, #). By 1837, even local houses used material found in Hawaii but with more Western elements incorporated into the design of architecture, for example “windows, high ceilings and large portal entrances” (“Hawaii

The native americans also made diffrent houses depending on the weather, for instance the mojave and cahuilla made their houses out of brush if the weather was hot. If the weather was cold they would make there houses out of oak planks and have slanted roofs.fun fact: did you know the cahuilla also ate beans,corn and squash?anyway, the cahuilla and the mojave lived close together and probably traded lots of things with each other too.fun fact:all tribes sing or yell special ceremonies to honor there tribe or land or there people as well as food or crops.the cahuilla lived in the foot hills of the san bernadino mountains and lived there for hundreads

The study of race relations in contemporary Cuba indelibly requires an understanding of the dynamic history of race relations in this ethnically pervasive island of the Caribbean. Cuban society, due to its historical antecedents of European colonialism and American imperialism, has traditionally experienced anguished and even tumultuous race relations. Racial disharmony has plagued Cuban society ever since the advent of the Colonial institution of the plantation system. Thus, in order to acquire some understanding of Cuba’s dynamic race relations one must study and investigate the evolution of racial tensions and the quintessential

Gender inequality was never recognized the time era of Christopher Columbus and Catalina De Erauso. But religion was the most consequential part during the New World era. It designated people to worship and follow certain rules to be considered as righteous. During the first part of Christopher Columbus’ letter in the Trails of Modernity, he gratified God that giving him a gift to voyage the New World denoted that he was destined to do this role. But being appreciative towards God wasn’t adequate so he made a goal. By converting the natives to Christianity and additionally find a cheaper route by benefiting the Europeans. His first ever discovery was an island, he named “San Salvador” to declare the Holy Savior better known today as the Bahamas

Homes in the Cherokee villages were often located near rivers. They were made of rivercane and plaster. Roofs were thatched which meant it was made from dry vegetation such as straw, water reed, sedge, rushes, or heather. The houses, though made of what seems weak materials, were nearly as strong as log cabins. Larger buildings were built for ceremonial purposes. Each of the indian villages has a ballpark for entertainment. Each village had a palisade around it for protection from other tribes. Nowadays, Cherokees live in a home or an apartment just like an average American.

To Columbus the Natives did not seem to be sophisticated or technologically advanced in his encounters with them. Some of them lived in villages with houses built in the shape of tents and the only architectural structures that I can recall being describes were these houses and the very high chimneys. They did know how to make cotton thread and traded these twenty five pounds of thread with the Spaniards and the they wore pieces of gold in their noses, wearing it in bracelets on their arms and legs. They traveled by canoes on the water and by foot on land and lived off the fruits from the land as well as fish, shellfish and birds. Most did not wear clothes and if they did it was by determined who wore what by status and age. At some island they saw cotton cloth covering some of the women. Some of the people did have the same language and customs as from the other islands visited on this voyage and appeared more civilized than others.

Like Florida’s other native inhabitants, who numbered more than 350,000 at the time of the Spanish entrada in 1513, the lifestyle of the Tequestas changed radically, and for the worse, following the Spanish arrival. Victims of disease, war and other dislocations, the Tequestas, along with Florida’s other native populations, had virtually vanished

Body two Shelter- The Chinook and Nez Perce built homes using Cedar wood and bark for the roofs and walls. Chinook peoples would live together in large houses that always faced the sea. Families would live together in the homes like one large family. While the Chinook had large houses that they shared, the Nez Perce built smaller homes and lived by themselves as separate families. The Nez Perce would build Tule houses and Pit houses. Pit houses were more permanent and were built rarely. Because of the ever changing climates, Nez Perce had to have less permanent homes so it was easier to move from place to place.

The navajo indians had lived in what is called a hogan. It is a structure made of sticks and dirt and is manly used for insulation.

The Pomo Indians used nearby trees, such as redwoods, to build their homes. They would take a center pole and pile thick pieces of bark against it. These homes were small, usually 8-10 feet tall. These homes were not portable, but they were small and easy to build. (native-languages.org). Among the Indian tribes who lived here were the Miwoks and the Pomos.-Emerson

The Native cultures Columbus found in the New World displayed a huge variety of languages, social customs, and creative expressions, with a common practice of oral literature without parallel east of the Atlantic. »full text
