Tribe Intellectuals

In the world of fitness many are used to only focusing their time in one form of exercise ;however, there has been somewhat a movement in the fitness world where many say it’s not enough. Where people who only do light yoga are now entering powerlifting and vise versa, this has created the question of is this crossing of exercise actually good for the individual when it’s in a group setting to make the person actually want to exercise.

This tool was made from rock which was also a tool used to prepare corn. Lastly, the canoes were a huge part and key tool of transportation. The canoes were made from dugout trees and from bark which could have been extra from the longhouses. The canoes not only made transportation easier but also they were used for fishing and finding food on the

Mousterian tradition. They created sets of tools with great variety and finely trimmed cutting edges. Flint stone properly chipped forms a cutting edge sharper than a steel scalpel.

There are hundreds of Native American tribes and millions of people that are within North America that identify themselves as Native Americans. Each tribe has their own unique customs, language, and myths. However, within the confines of this paper I will take a broad view with regards to Native American customs and traditions from a small sample of tribes that were observed prior to the vast expansion of colonizing the west.

As humans, one of our most important natural instincts is survival. The Indians were an ancient people who were developed important survival skills and pass them down to the next generations. They were mostly hunter-gatherers with simple yet efficient lifestyles usually supported by the agriculture and wildlife. They were able to conserve water from streams, springs, and rainfall for irrigation, weave baskets to store foods derived from wild plants, and eventually create pottery, a more efficient way to store or retrieve resources. They did not wear a lot of clothing, but what clothing they had was from the hides of animals, woven from plant fibers. They were expert hunter-gatherers and created their own weapons such as spears, bows, and arrows. Some tribes were known to have tracked their prey and

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.

The Cherokee Tribe used many different weapons in everyday life. They used hammers and many axe type weapons; blowguns with poison darts; and bows and arrows. Each weapon was made a certain way and used for specific things. The hammers they used were to help build the other weapons and tool to hunt animals and battle. They used the tools to also build huts to live in.

The five tribes are known as the Five Civilized Tribes. The five tribes are the Cherokee Indians, Chickasaw Indians, Choctaw Indians, Creek Indians, and Seminole Indians. These five tribes weren’t apart of the original allotment act (Calloway 423). This act was giving land to the nations in continual effort to “civilize” the Indians. All five of the tribes renovated their financial, teaching, and administrative design after the removal procedure, and were workable as self-ruling government (Calloway 423). The tribes had to readjust to policies imposed by the government, and also adapt to life in a new location with new people.

Indigenous literacies are used to communicate certain messages that are meaningful to the people in that individual community. These literacies are used to communicate stories, laws, maps, songs and dances to their own society. These forms of literacies are seen as being crucial to the cultural community as they are used to convey the social practices that should be handed down through the generations. Indigenous literacies may be interpreted in western cultures as art but they are actually narratives and recounts that Indigenous people generate. Indigenous literacies derive from different worldviews and connection to a range of components. They are then shaped and reiterated through knowledge systems that highlight knowing one’s stories of kinship. Indigenous Literacies are seen in forms such as on tress, bark, wood, sticks, rocks, carvings, in the soil and on bodies and

By 1650, thirty years after the pilgrims arrived in America, they seemed to have no regard for the natives and thought they were unfriendly and in-fact lesser people than they themselves who were always looking to shoot arrows at the pilgrims.

The Oneida Tribe is a sovereign government. Oneida means “long awaited” and they spoke Oneida. Lastly, they have three clans: Turtle, Bear, and Wolf Clan. The Turtle Clan represents the shifting of the earth and the cycles of the moon. The people of this clan represent the well of information and the keepers of the land. The Bear Clan known as Medicine people, the healers. There are stories passed down about how the Bear

Canadian citizens understand genocide to be a terrible thing that other countries have done, or are doing. The eradication of an entire population of civilian women, men, and children along with their culture and national sovereignty is something we condemn in our media. When we see genocide happening elsewhere, we debate when we should step in with economic sanctions or military action when it is time to put a stop to a crime against humanity. Rarely, if ever, do we examine our own history long enough to understand that Canada was created by people who committed genocide against the people who were already living here.
