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.

Do peace, unity, and equality still exist this day in time among groups of people? Are we influenced by our environment to associate our way of seeing things and create language based on that fact? How we view the environment around us helps shape our understanding by creating language to give it meaning.

The Cherokee tribe is known as one of the earliest and largest Indian tribe in North America. They are federally recognized even today among several states(museum). While they slowly became Americanized by the Europeans who came over to America, some still practice their typical Indian rituals publicly today. Most converted to Christianity and their government in Oklahoma is based off the American government with three branches.

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.

The Blackfoot Indians were a very remarkable tribe. They have unique and interesting way to live, which I find fascinating. They live in the Northwestern United States and Canada.

Those nations are the Siksika Nation, the Kainai or Blood Nation, the Pikanii or Peigan Nation, and the Blackfeet Nation. The Blackfoot Indians are a nomadic American Indian tribe that migrated to the to Northwestern United States. The first three nations are in Alberta, Canada and the fourth nation is in Montana. Most Blackfoot people still live in this region today.

One of my favorite quotes is “You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have” is a quote that might connect to some more than others In all, this quote represents struggle and the resilience someone has to possess to make it through whatever they’re going through. The Jamestown S’Klallam tribe(The Strong People) originated in 1874 near the eastern end of the strait of Juan De Fuca, which is Northwestern Oregon today .The tribe has always lived in the upper Washington area where they thrived on the agriculture and wildlife . Soon after white settlers moved in and pushed the S’klallam people out and forced them to relocate. The tribe then moved to a new community that had all naturally resources called Jamestown, named after James balch who was a leader within the tribe hints the renowned name. The story of “The Mink And The Wolf”, numerous native tales , admittedly can have multiple meanings. Elaine Grinnell’s tales range from urban myths, creative thoughts, animal lore, and fish stories. The story starts with Mink trying to trick the fish to come to him but wolf took his catch.The mink and the wolf represents the white settlers taking the land from the s’klallam tribe.

They are located in Brown and Outagamie Counties. They are descendants of an indigenous Iroquoian-speaking nation that arose in the present-day central-western New York. 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 men of the tribe built and used the tools. While making the tools and weapons, they followed the specific routine for each object. They drilled, carved, engraved, etc. They built the tools at a place that had an anvil. The activity was done based off the specific tool or weapon because they all don’t have the same building time. The tribe does this activity so they have weapons and tools to gather their food and defend themselves.

In “Using “Tribe” and “Tribalism”: to Misunderstand African Societies,” David Wiley discussed the problems using the words “tribe” and “tribalism” to classify African societies. Wiley argued throughout his article the problems of creating “ethnic” labels among African societies. Various African groups of people are different in their culture, ideas, customs, practices, and dialect. However, many African societies were classified and labeled as “tribes” rather than being understood differently. Each African society had and has today its own unique customs and practices. These customs and practices were seen abstract and obscure to many social scientists and scientists of the 19th century. During this time we see the rise of evolutionary

Outside Contact does not inevitably result in depopulation, despite the fact, that in many cases, it is followed by cultural and social disintegration. I will bring up the reasons to why outside contact change tribes, and why these their cultures change over time due to outside contact.
