The Four Native Americans In The Great Plains

The concept of “politics” is often described casually in political science as decisions people make in order to best decide how to live with other people. This definition of politics allows for the argument that anything can be deemed political, including the clothes we wear and the language we speak. Politics is not just regarded as the study of how government works through direct participation in elections, political parties, and official government policies under this definition, but it also includes how a common nationality is forged through cultural practices and interactions with “outside” groups. Jeffrey Ostler in his book The Plains Sioux and U.S. Colonialism uses the more inclusive definition of politics to illustrate how the Sioux

did you know that all tribes had technology, no not that kind of technology.some technologies that the Great Plains tribes used was the plough. The plough was used to turn over the soil and get it ready for planting crops. Another technology that the Great Plains tribes used was the tipi. The tipi could be transported easily by making it into a sled called a travois. Another technology the Great Plains Tribes used was the bow and arrow. The bow and arrow is a ranged weapon that could be carried on your back. The Great Plains tribes had many

The main Indian tribes that lived in the Great Plains and Mountain Basin region were the Tigua, Comanche, Apache, Kiowa, and Jumano.

In comparison to the Europeans, depending on the region, a lot of Native Americans were largely migrant people who followed resources as needed. Tribes would stay in one area for as long as they could utilize whatever was in season and then moved forward once the land’s resources had nothing left to offer. Hunting and gathering forced tribes to relocate quite often due to the different seasons’ impact on game and plants. Even though agriculture was not a reliable source of sustainability for these people, Indians often found ways to make use of whatever herbs and plants grew around them. Low environmental impact and zero waste are two very important values to Indians as they have a very spiritual connected to the earth. In other parts of the country, Indians used agriculture quite a lot and even found ways to make their crops last through the winter. Some tribes established themselves fairly prominently in one area, but a key difference between their establishment and the English’s was their inherent view that no matter what they yielded from the land, it was not their property to claim forever. The Native Americans really

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 first of all, native Americans were very smart and they knew how to survive in that different kinds of environment . Because they understand how to get foods from nature and they knew using traps to hunt animals

The Native Americans used their natural resources by carving wood to make wooden tools. They use sharp rocks to cut things. They use wood to make canoes. They use stones and rocks to make houses.

The Native Americans, at the time of the first encounter, were still very culturally and socially primitive compared to the Europeans. They moved a lot, lived mainly of fishing and hunting, spent their time cultivating and used primitive tools and equipment in their daily activities.

Imagine a person bought something that the person valued. The person was the owner of the product and took good care of it.Then, all of a sudden, a stranger comes and takes that product and declares it “discovered”. Now since the stranger “discovered” it, the product now has to be shared among them. This is similar to what happened to Native Americans in North America. Native Americans owned and lived in North America for several thousand years. Then, all of a sudden, European explorers came to North America and claimed the land “discovered”. Europeans started moving into the land and later, started sharing the land. Encounters between Europeans and Native Americans in the colonial era led to the exchange of diseases with Native Americans,

When Europeans came to the American continent, contact with the Native Americans who were already living there was inevitable. In the colonization of early America, the various groups of European settlers: the Spanish, French, English, and Dutch each had unique experiences with, and therefore individual opinions of the Native Americans whom they interacted. Each of these nations also shared commonalties in their colonization processes and in how they viewed Native Americans. Furthermore, the Native Americans held differing opinions of each group of Europeans whom they encountered while some features of their relationships with Europeans were consistent despite the tribe or nation involved.

The Cheyenne tribe were a powerful, resourceful, tribe of the Great Plains. They fought against the Americans when they went to take their land. Within their tribe there were very powerful role model like figures. Some of these leader like figures were Chief Roman Nose and Little Rock. All of the Native American tribes seemed interesting to learn about, but the Cheyenne tribe had a certain charm and dedication to their tribe that none of the of the other tribes seemed to have from the outside looking in.

Have you ever been in a place of green with forests and animals everywhere? Well, where some of the Native Americans lived, there were such things. Native American tribes such as the Crow lived in the Great Plains. The Crow tribe of the Great Plains were nomadic and followed the buffalo migrations which provided their food. This tribe spent a good part of the year living in camps that could easily be dismantled and moved to follow the buffalo migrations. Other tribes of the plains were more sedentary. These tribes lived in permanent villages year round.

During the end of the nineteenth century, the United States had formed policies which reduced land allotted to Native Americans. By enforcing these laws as well as Anglo-American ideals, the United States compromised indigenous people’s culture and ability to thrive in its society.

For many tribes of Plains Indians whose bison-hunting culture flourished during the 18th and 19th centuries, the sun dance was the major communal religious ceremony . . . the rite celebrates renewal - the spiritual rebirth of participants and their relatives as well as the regeneration of the living earth with all its components . . . The ritual, involving sacrifice and supplication to insure harmony between all living beings, continues to be practiced by many contemporary native Americans. -Elizabeth Atwood LawrenceAs the most important ritual of the nomadic Plains Indians, the Sun Dance in itself presents many ideas, beliefs, and values of these cultures. Through its rich symbolism and complicated rituals we are able to catch a glimpse
