The Oneida Tribe

The northern tribes used bones and deer antlers to make knives, scrapers, awls, fishing tools, whistles, and pendants. The first tribes denpended on agriculture were those that lived on the Atlantic Costal Plain. They learned how to make pottery and cloth. The cloth was woven with thread made from soft layers of splint baskets. They made musical instruments like pipers, rattles, drums, nd they were played during ruitals and ceremonies dances. They built two types of houses, long houses, and wigwams. The first type was formed by bending poles into a cone or dome shape and by tying the poles together with vines. The frame was covered with woven mats, bark, or hide . These people grew corn, squash, beans, pumpkins, and tobacco.

I picked the Chinook tribe, which is a northwestern tribe located around the columbian river, or today's Washington and Oregon. The land and climate really defined how the Chinook people lived and is why it’s defined as a folk culture. The Chinook tribe is around large forests that the tribe uses to build canoes and large houses. The Chinook tribe would build these large houses and many people could live inside, these houses were made out of red cedar a tree that was very abundant in the area. The Climate where the Chinook tribe located was very harsh but easy at times. The climate existed of very rainy seasons with very hot seasons that defined what the Chinook tribe would wear. The Chinook tribe would wear little to nothing on the hot

There are many services which are available to the elderly population, these services are usually provided to

Provide scholarships to local students to train in eldercare and/or technology; build eldercare into high school and college curricula and county health department programs

This is partially due to what appears to be a “mortality cross-over” by age 85 (Hendrix,L. 2001). They have a higher than average mortality up to the age 75, from 75 to 84 the rates are much the same, and after age 85 they have lower age specific mortality rates than the rest of the population. Also, those family members who are available geographically are not available emotionally and situational, having outside home jobs and other responsibilities. Hence, there is a need for someone else, outside of their family, to be caretakers for their elders. It is especially critical to establish relationships with these elders who have been living on reservations their entire lives, and thus have been isolated from mainstream

The Seminole Indian Tribe of Florida is a renowned group in South Florida area. Besides being the only Federal recognized tribe that has not signed a peace treaty, the Seminoles are known for things as Chickee Architecture, Billie Swamp Safari, and the Infamous Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. All these groundbreaking and recognized accomplishments were only cable because of the hard work and dedication from the different tribes that make up the Seminole Nation. That being said, the Seminoles success was also due to opening of smoke shops and high risk gaming in the 1970’s(Cattelino 5). However, with the wealth that has come, it also brings along the Fungibility of money. This Fungibility is what enabled growth with the Seminole people.

The onondaga tribe is one of the most interesting tribes in the world. They do all sorts of interesting things. They have a lot of location. They have some traditions. Last they have a lot of present-day facts.

When you think of early socialist community, you don’t necessarily think of the United States of America having them. However, during the the first half of the early 19th century, after the Second Great Awakening had occurred, this was the case in Kenwood in Oneida County, Upstate New York. The society was known as the Oneida Community or Oneida Perfectionists. They were a religious commune community who followed the ideals of communalism, bible communism, perfectionism , and other bizarre practices,. Still to this day, there legacy is a part of American History, but today they silver production company created after the collapse of the community, now known as Oneida Limited.1

The Powhatans were a native american tribe that lived in Virginia. They also spoke an eastern-Algonquian language, so they were often referred as Virginia Algonquians. The Powhatan Indians lived in the towns by rivers for easy ways to get food and for transportations, they also always bathed in the river every day. The Powhatans lived in houses called Yehakins. “The yehakins were made from saplings bent and lashed together at the top to form a barrel shape. Woven mats or bark were placed on top of the saplings and space left for an entrance at each end of the house and an open hole at the center of the roof for smoke to escape.” (http://www.nps.gov/jame/learn/historyculture/the-powhatan-indian-world.htm)

The Ojibwe tribe, who believed spirit animals guide their way through life, had a very interesting history, geography, culture, and have a surprising current status. Getting along with traders in their history wasn’t always easy in the Ojibwe history. The culture of the Ojibwe is not like many tribes in the area their way of life is different because most of the Ojibwe lived in the middle of Lake Superior. In the present day, the Ojibwe people have surprisingly not kept a lot of their customs.

Pueblo Indians lived in New Mexico. They built their houses out of clay that was baked with other things to make it hard and like stone. Today in the west there are still many homes made out of material very similar. Pueblo women wore a knee length dress that covered the right shoulder but left the left shoulder bare. In the 1900s evangelist did not think this was modest so they began to wear shirts underneath. Today that style is still around. In the west the soil isn't as good. The Pueblos lived in the west and they had to survive. They came up with ways that they could plant all kinds of plants with the dry soil. Thanks to them, today we have ways to plant crops in the west. The Pueblo Indians Spanish just liked they inspired Americans.

During the Indian times the Sioux would do different things to get food, water, and shelter. Often they would have to move near lakes and rivers and animals to get more supplies. Buffalo is one of the main supplies for everything like their shelter and coats.

As I walk through the great plains hunting for food,I discern a strange creature walking towards our tribe. They wear strange clothes and have some shiny, exotic looking spears. They approached us in a violent way, what are they? They have a filthy smell and white complected skin. However, we are confused where they came from, why they didn’t look like us, and why they could not communicate with us. Where did all these people come from? The first thing that came to my mind was that they might have come from another dimension. They are people who had a different ways of being as they are approaching us closer they pointed their atypical spears at us and start orating to us in a different language. We feel confused, what to do and we start aiming our spears at them as well. Time goes by and they are starting to demand us to do things that are harsh in our bodies, we give them nourishment and all their necessities; many in our tribe can't resist the harsh work anymore. We are being brutally treated, cruelly murdered and killed.

Adults could help serve in hospitals, city parks, dog shelters, and libraries. The act of Community Service is where the adult between 18 to 30 take time out of their busy schedules to help any human or animal that is in need.

As a part of the “virtual village” project volunteer, our aim was to research about our community regarding necessities of older adults, their accessibility to healthcare, and overall what resources are available for them that make their life easy to live. Our group decided to focus on Edgewater Community to understand older adults’ needs. This service learning experience has had a significant impact on my professional development. During the experience, I had an opportunity meet with many health professionals and community leaders in the Edgewater Community. I learned about many health professionals working to assist older population in the Edgewater community. For example, On Nov 5th Thursday, I went to Care for Real food Pantry with my group members, and met the Executive Director of the organization, Allen Lyle. Lyle provided some backgrounds of the company and mentioned how the organization makes difference in senior’s life.
