The Nez Perce: The Huron People

The Shoshone and Nez Perce tribes are local tribes in Idaho. In earlier days the Shoshone settled along the Snake River. The Nez Perce tribe came from northern Idaho. Both of these tribes weaved products for their own use, but the Shoshone tribe also sold them, and they still do today. The Shoshone tribe also “used their basketry as a utilitarian object, rather than selling them or using them for barter” (Basketry).

A general history of Native Americans has been a part of my education for as long as I can remember. I remember how during the week before Thanksgiving, my 1st grade class did a skit about the “First Thanksgiving”. In order to look like Indians we made vests out of paper grocery bags and crumpled them up to look like leather and drew on them with crayons. When I think of my education of Native American culture, I think of going to North Pacific Reservations and seeing 10-12 ft tall totem poles with the shapes of animals carved into them. Most of the Native American tribes that I have learned about have been Western United States tribes because I grew up in California. When I read the list of Wisconsin Native

The Sioux tribes were located in The Great Plains, which consists of 7 different states Minnesota, Wisconsin, North and South Dakota; however, they were also known to live in parts of Nebraska, Illinois, and Montana. “The name Sioux is an abbreviation of Nadouessioux. (Britannica) The name was given to them by the Ojibwa (Chippewa). Sioux means, “Little snake”. The Sioux tended to follow the pattern of the buffalo, which is why they are found in multiple locations.

Members of the Nations speak Iroquoian languages that are distinctly different from those of other Iroquoian speakers. This suggests that while the different Iroquoian tribes had a common historical and cultural origin, they diverged as peoples over a sufficiently long time that their languages became different. Archaeological evidence shows that Iroquois’ ancestors lived in the Great Lakes region from at least 1000 A.D.

Similar to the United States, Canada has a significant portion of their population that is native to the land. The indigenous people that live in Canada have lived there for thousands of years before the colonization of Canada occurred. The major groups of modern indigenous people are the Inuit and the Metis. The Intuits lived in Canada and Greenland for hundreds of years without European contact. Their first European contact came from Norse settlers in Greenland; however, these Norse settlers disappeared and left the Inuit mostly isolated until more widespread colonization in the future. The Metis is a group that refers to people who are descendants from both native people and European settlers. Their history goes back to the mid

Along with the preservation of their autonomy, the First Nations women and communities did not want to convert to Christianity and the customs that came with it because they were attached to their traditions and did not want to give them up. The Huron and Algonquian communities maintained that they would not physically discipline their children because they feared that suicide would result from punishment. Therefore the Huron and Algonquian avoided discipline at all costs because nothing was more important to them than their children’s lives.
