The climate in the Atlantic coastline where they lived allowed the growth of crops such as corn along with hunting and fishing. The cold weather in the Great lakes and the upper Midwest made agricultural growth nearly impossible. Instead the groups focused on hunting and fishing. Canoes were used as a means of transportation and for collecting wild rice. The Iroquoian groups lived further inland near present day Pennsylvania, New York, Georgia, and the Carolinas. There are three things that made them different than the Algonquians. First, they were able to establish permanent settlements due to their prosperity with growing crops. Second, the Iroquoians were matriarchal. Women were the leaders of the family clan and in charge of all the property. Lastly, an Iroquoian association formed the League of Five Nations, which served as a means of war and mediation. The people who lived across the southeast woodlands were known as the Muskogean people. These people populated a plentiful natural environment that delivered a large amount of food. Remainders of previous cultures remained such as temple mounds left by the
In the Paleolithic Era, humans relied on hunting and gathering to live, living off the resources the environment provided and moving on when resources became scarce. This nomadic lifestyle allowed them to eat a variety of plans and animals, including birds, mammoths, bison, deer, rodents, roots, and berries. Because plants grew, fruited, and matured at different times of the year, gathering remained a fairly constant means to provide food throughout the year. Although small animals and young, ill, wounded, or old animals were easier to hunt successfully, hominids quickly mastered the techniques to hunt large mammals, such as bison, rhinoceros, horses, woolly mammoths, and mastodons, to feed more people. To do so, these hunters had to have high levels of cooperation, intelligence, communication, and abstract reasoning, utilizing disguises, ambushes, camouflage, and traps.
In “A Rounded Version: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences”, Howard Gardner illustrates how there are a variety of intelligences. Gardner starts off with an example how IQ tests may predict achievement in school but may not predict achievement in life. After finding out certain parts of the brain are responsible for certain functions, such as “Broca’s Area” which is responsible for sentence production, Gardner proposes the existence of multiple intelligences. Multiple studies later led him to propose seven distinct intelligences; Musical, bodily-kinesthetic, logical-mathematical, linguistic, spatial, interpersonal, and intrapersonal. Each intelligence has certain classifications. According to Gardner’s classifications, I realized my intelligences are bodily-kinesthetic, logical-mathematical, and intrapersonal.
bodies and flourished during a warmer interglacial period. There was great anatomical variation within this population. There is evidence that they took care of injured associates and sometimes carried out burials. Fossil remains provide evidence that they moved in small groups possibly occupying areas seasonally and subsisting by hunting big game such as reindeer. As they did not use bows and arrows, or other projectiles, hunting such big game would have required a group strategy. Animal bones
The people of Inuit, Yup’ik, Unangan, and other Native Americans Indians have lived in the harshest environment on Earth from Siberia, across Alaska and Canada, and to the East of Greenland along the coast of the Bering Sea and Arctic Ocean. From Labrador to the interior of Alaska the Athapaskan, Cree, Innu, and other Native’s people lived in the subarctic region of the land. These people had the ability to depend on their years of knowledge of the sky, ice, ocean, land, and animal behaviors in order to survive. Living in the area that was vast and dealing with seasonal dynamic extremes these Native people of the Artic and Subarctic had a honorable endurance for an millennia of exchanged goods, ceremonies, and shared feasts with neighboring goods that has help them throughout the years.
Families assembled in spring to angle, in early winter to chase, and in the mid year they isolated to develop singular planting fields. Young men were educated in the method for the forested areas, where a man's aptitude at chasing and capacity to get by under all conditions were imperative to his family's prosperity. Ladies were prepared from their most punctual years to work perseveringly in the fields and around the family wetu, a round or oval house that was intended to be effortlessly disassembled and moved in only a couple of hours. They likewise figured out how to accumulate and handle normal foods grown from the ground, other create from the living space, and their harvests. The creation of sustenance among the Wampanoag was like that of numerous Native American social orders. Nourishment propensities were partitioned along gendered lines. Men and ladies had particular undertakings. Local ladies assumed a dynamic part in a hefty portion of the phases of nourishment creation. Since the Wampanoag depended fundamentally on products gathered from this sort of work, ladies had vital socio-political, financial, and profound parts in their groups. Wampanoag men were for the most part in charge of chasing and angling, while ladies dealt with cultivating and the social event of wild organic products, nuts, berries, shellfish, and so on. Ladies were in charge of up to seventy-five percent of all sustenance
The first of all, native Americans were very smart and they knew how to survive in that different kinds of environment . Because they understand how to get foods from nature and they knew using traps to hunt animals
“Wolves had scattered the bones some,” Thompson had told me, “but it was obvious that the animal was a caribou. The kid didn’t know what the hell he was doing up here.” “It was definitely a caribou,” Samel had scornfully piped in. “When I read in the paper that he thought he’d shot a moose, that told me right there he wasn’t no Alaskan. There’s a big difference between a moose and a caribou. A real big difference. You’d have to be pretty stupid not to be able to tell them apart.””
Certain Aboriginal tribes at this time believed in reincarnation and the respect of the hunted animal. They also believed in the idea that animals that were shown were able to be killed as they were not under-populated. Although this method was not very scientific it still proves that idea that FN at this time were aware of the idea of over-hunting and aids in the idea of a harmony with their environment. Tribes such as “The Rupert House Cree hunted different sections of their land, leaving such to recruit two or even three years.” Which shows their ability to understand the environment and the animals that reside within it.
One reason Maroo and her people are intelligent as they had the competency to hunt. For example,(Turnbull, 8), “The hunters had approached. Otak and Maroo
In the film “Eskimo Fight for Life” the Inuit winter camp has a defined social structure. From generation to generation the roles of men and women remain the same. The most important role for men is to hunt to feed the camp. They hunt seal which is a symbol within the camp because it conveys the meaning of survival. The women are responsible for supplying the camp with the necessary clothing such as fur coats and boots. The women also teach their daughters these skills so that they can make their own clothes and boots. The Inuit camp also has their own language which enables them to communicate with one another. With the use of language, the elders, especially the grandmothers, can tell the children stories. These stories are one way they pass
Next, they used fire to stay warm. Also they put a tiny fire in there teepees to stay warm. They also put fires around the outside for cooking and to stay warm.
The majority of Indians knew what was edible and what was not, but they did not use that to their advantage. In one case, Highlanders, people from the highlands of New Guinea, would bring a supply of food for their trips. But, if the trip went longer than expected, or they ate more food than intended on one day, they would slowly suffer and eventually die because they would not eat food they did not pack. On the other hand, Indians did have knowledge in domestication. They domesticated small animals that “yielded food, clothing, or warmth. But none of them pulled plows or wagons.” A downside to having some of the domesticated animals was disease. Of having domestic animals, that was the worst thing the animals did to the native people. Today, people are immune to most of the diseases spread by animals in the centuries before us because bodies today are different then they were a few hundred years ago. Another thing the Indians were good at was an organized system of people. The Indians created groups of people called bands (smallest), tribes, chiefdoms, and states (largest). Of all of those, only the two biggest, chiefdoms and states had a monopoly. Both of those monopolies were well run. Indians were technologically behind, but they mostly made good out of what they had.
Human development and hardiness is put onto display when thinking about Eskimo, or Inuit lifestyle. Not only do they show abundant advancement in human development and thinking but also they do so while dealing with the harshest of climates. It is through their culture, technology, strategies and overall lifestyles that we can truly appreciate the immense adaptation and growth that comes of people of these groups. This is especially true for the Eskimos of the Hudson Bay Region.
The theory of multiple intelligences was developed by Dr. Howard Gardner in 1983. The Theory of Multiple Intelligences is a critique of the standard psychological view of intellect: there is a single intelligence, adequately measured by IQ or other short answer tests. Instead, on the basis of evidence from disparate sources, the theory claims that human beings have a number of relatively discrete intellectual capacities. IQ tests assess linguistic and logical-mathematical intelligence, and sometimes spatial intelligence; they are a reasonably good predictor of who will do well in school. This is because humans have several other significant intellectual capacities (Harvard University).
