Having different characteristics and passions make people unique, and being able to share common interests with people makes it easy to form relationships with others. The qualities and interests I have also set me apart from people, but also brings me closer to my “tribes,” or the groups of people who enjoy the same things I do. There are countless different tribes that I belong to, such as the tribe of dog lovers, students, sports player, and music lovers. However, the two tribes that I believe represent me the most as a person are the tribe of caring people and the the tribe of those still finding themselves. The tribe of caring people is a group that is known for being kindhearted and interpersonal. We are able to help others around us and listen to those who want to speak. We value compassion and understanding, and always try …show more content…
This tribe values the importance of finding one’s true self and what they want to do in the future. We talk with creativity and thoughtfulness and usually take part in new activities in order to look for something new. There are stereotypes that are aimed towards this tribe, such as the idea of us being “unprepared for life,” or “constantly confused.” These are untruthful stereotypes though because this tribe just seeks to find things that they love, which is something that those who are confused do not think about. The different tribes that people belong to make up who they are and what they want in their lives. The tribe of caring people is one that I will be a part of forever and cherish deeply. Even though the tribe of people finding their path is only temporary, when I do find myself, I will constantly be reminded of what life path my tribe brought me to. Every person has a tribe, and these groups define who we are as people. No matter what, each tribe is significant, no matter how important it seems to others or how many members it
This group is a derivative from Mohican and Munsee Indians originally from Delaware. Mohicans where deep-rooted to woodlands, but chose to construct their homes close to rivers for a food source in addition to means of transportation. Stockbridge-Munsee tribes have a rich culture in which traditionally men were revered as great warriors while the woman took immense satisfaction in the child rearing, caring for the home, and gardening. They also carry with them the knowledge and skills of fishing, hunting, but also creative aptitudes such as basket weaving and storytelling. Storytelling was one of the many ways they passed on their heritage and culture to the children of the
The first statement is to maintain, protect, and nurture our culture and spiritual and historic values. Traditions are the main thing that keep their culture alive. That is why the stories are encouraged to be passed on and the education of the tribe needs
As stated earlier, the Lakota people (the seven tribes) were a unified nation. One of the most important characteristics of their lifestyle was the heavy dependence on the buffalo hunting. It was their main source of food, clothes, and religious offerings. Also, men were trained from a young age to warfare, and hunting. This ensured a stable and functional society, that wasn’t in need of strong political leadership.
At and away from school, I belong to many “tribes.” I belong to the Matanzas High School Pirates, which is home to many of my social groups; such as, “The Lunch Squad,” “Wang Gang,” “Chem Crew,” and the “AP Nerds.” Away from school I’ve joined a video game tribe, a baseball tribe, MMA tribe, and of course, the Morris tribe.
The Lakota Indians, are sometimes known as the Sioux, but they call themselves the Lakota, which is translated as ‘friend’ or ‘ally’ in their native tongue. Their description of themselves make sense when looking at their seven virtues that they live by, “These are Wóčhekiye (Prayer), Wóohola (Respect), Wówauŋšila (Compassion), Wówičakȟe (Honesty), Wówačhaŋtognaka (Generosity), Wówaȟwala (Humility) and Wóksape (Wisdom) (“Lakota Today”). A culture’s idea of the most importance qualities a good person should have gives a good idea of what kind of people they are. The Lakota’s virtues all revolve around a general concept of respect for everything, compassion, humility, and honesty. These things can either refer to their fellow man, or
Overall this tribe has a lot of rich history that they are keeping strong. Their website was extremely informative and shows they take great pride in who they are and their history. The tribe keeps who they are alive by focusing on passing down information though legends and teaching young members basket weaving. These are both ancient practices for this tribe and it is amazing that they still matter so much to the members of the tribe. This is a strong group of people who are determined to keep their traditions and culture
All humans are interested in their origins and trying to account for their existence through creation stories. Native Americans tribes are no different from the rest of humanity. The tribes’ stories explain how people came into existence, how they came to be live on the lands they do and the how people interact with nature and each other. These trends can be seen in the legends of three tribes hailing from New England to the Great Lakes Region.
The Navajo society is a culture rich in tradition. They value the close knit relationship with their family and have a great appreciation for the land. They fought to preserve their way of life, resulting in high values in; kinship, lifestyle, religious beliefs, and their rites of passage.

Everyone belongs to many different communities and/or groups defined by (among other things) shared geography, religion, ethnicity, income, cuisine, interest, race, ideology, or intellectual heritage. Choose one of the communities to which you belong, and describe that community and your place within it.
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.
The Indigenous people believed the all living things were a part of nature and living things had a spirit. For many indigenous people, everything in the cosmos (whole universe) is intimately related and that there is kinship with all creations. According to Oren Lyons, an elder of the Onondaga Nation Wolf Clan, the indigenous people view their kinship with all creation consider themselves the caretakers of the earth, they saw "Everything as Alive": from rocks to water, to mountains, plants, and animals…and all things rely on each other. “That’s what we Indians believe”.
I've realized the amount of respect they have for nature and forms of life on earth such as animals and plants. They also seem to have admiration for how the world works. Such as life cycles. They seem to be big believers in balance. The Iroquois also seem to reference their god to be of higher power to them and be the ultimate good. I've also gathered that the Iroquois valued games and competitions like lacrosse and chose corn, beans and squash as daily meals. They also seemed to dance and sing as part of their rituals for celebrations. Finally, I think that to them it was a necessity for good and evil to be created because they equaled each other
In Groups and Out Groups and how this is related to my Native American Experience
The Tiv tribe of West Africa are very easy to relate to from a close family like my mine is because they will come together and share stories with one another which is something most families do. The Tiv has many qualities that most American cultures can relate to because they are centered around the elders just like most cultures in America do which is to listen to your elders because they have unlimited amount of knowledge that could be told through
