What Warrant Have We To Take The Land Summary

During the early years of the Paleo-Indian tribes, they exploited a wide variety of exotic plants and animals. Many of these animals were from the Ice Age. This research paper will discuss what kinds of tools they used for growing crops, hunting big animals like the woolly mammoth and the giant ground sloth and what they used them for besides a source of food.

In comparison to the Europeans, depending on the region, a lot of Native Americans were largely migrant people who followed resources as needed. Tribes would stay in one area for as long as they could utilize whatever was in season and then moved forward once the land’s resources had nothing left to offer. Hunting and gathering forced tribes to relocate quite often due to the different seasons’ impact on game and plants. Even though agriculture was not a reliable source of sustainability for these people, Indians often found ways to make use of whatever herbs and plants grew around them. Low environmental impact and zero waste are two very important values to Indians as they have a very spiritual connected to the earth. In other parts of the country, Indians used agriculture quite a lot and even found ways to make their crops last through the winter. Some tribes established themselves fairly prominently in one area, but a key difference between their establishment and the English’s was their inherent view that no matter what they yielded from the land, it was not their property to claim forever. The Native Americans really

The tribe lived in thatched houses before which were grass huts shaped like beehives. They had a communal way of life in their permanent habitations. When men went to hunt they build temporary shelters from buffalo hides. Before the modern times, the men dressed in breech clothes and occasionally putting on leather chaps to act as leg protection. Their hair was cut in traditional Mohawk or complete shaving of hair and wore single long tassel of hair on the top of the head. Women kept long hair styled in a bum or braid. They wore wrap around skirts and ponchos. In the modern times traditional dress and face paints are only reserved

When the colonists began to arrive in America they were surprised to find that the land was already occupied by various Natives. Because the lives of 16th century Natives was very different from what

Prior to the arrival of the Europeans the Powhatan’s were far less populated and were far less developed then the Europeans. They were hunter-gatherers, hunting in thick forests during winter or neo-lithic farmers who lived in villages and grew their own crops (such as maize, cotton, medicine and corn) and lived of them during summer and spring. The Powhatan’s believed that land was not to be owned but belonged to everyone and anyone, on that land they built simple tent like houses that they could easily move when they had to. They did not have brick houses and buildings that the Europeans had. The Powhatan’s used sticks, bows and arrows to hunt and not guns and weapons used by the Spanish. In a civilised place a man would do most of the work but women were the ones who built houses, fetched firewood and a lot more (Source 2) which is one of the many reasons why the Europeans thought the Indians were not civilised. There were no real boundaries, tribes were separated by rivers, swamps, mountains, and other natural landmarks (Source 13). The way they fought or killed was brutal,”…two large stones were placed on the ground, Smith’s head was forced upon them and a warrior raised a club to smash in his brain” (Source 4).

The Native American’s way of living was different from the Europeans. They believed that man is ruled by respect and reverence for nature and that nature is an

The Indians were well adapted to the land, therefore they were able to use swamps to their advantage and also use the same swamp to the colonist’s disadvantage. Indians who frequently migrated and had no special meaning for their personal equity, never placed an identity to it. Unlike the Indians, the colonists believed their property was meaningful. Lepore explains that religion contributed a major part to the colonist idea of their own, “the colonists’ sense of predestination…, their natural affinity with the land, and their cultural proclivity to conflate property with identity, all combined to produce this oneness of bodies and mind.” The colonist viewed the Indians as savages due to the misunderstanding values of land, property, and equity. In addition, the colonists, who were mostly Puritans believed the war was God punishing them for the failure of the colonists to convert the Indians to Christianity. On the other hand, the Indians had other spiritual faith that collides with the colonist religious

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.

They used what is known as a diffused substinance pattern. By this we mean that by using resources available to them lightly as opposed to intensely using the same resources, they were conserving for the future. These tribes would spiritualize nature. In this culture everything was significant. They held reverence for the environment and a strong kinship with nature. Often these people observed respectful guidelines to avoid spiritual retaliation. For instance, the bones of the beaver would be returned to the river where it had been trapped. This was believed to keep the beavers there plentiful.

Horses and guns played a significant role in the Native Americans lives. Before horses the Indians had to walk and run to hunt. They would follow the bison or other animal’s trails. With the use of horses the Native people could expand the distance traveled for hunting. Guns were a huge change for everyone as well. Before them the people had to be close to their enemy or hunt to kill. They would use axes, bow and arrow, or arrow heads attached to sticks. The new inventions did cause problems between nearby tribes but helped when fighting or escaping the American

Lived in the blazing heat, being chased by American soldiers. They were the only Native Americans fighting the U.S. soldiers and they ran constantly. They relied on their legs to run, raided villages for horses, clothing, and other goods, learned how to use a bow and arrow at a young age. For their scalps, the prices ranged. A child’s scalp was worth $25, A woman’s scalp was worth $50, and a warrior’s scalp was worth $100.

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

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 Navajo Indians had to make their own weapons, such as the bow and arrow. The bow and arrow was one of the main weapons to use to kill animals. The Navajo Indians used other weapons like prayer sticks, claw dance stick, war shields, tomahawked,

If I could actually come face to face with John Winthrop, one of the questions I would ask him is “Why he would move to America to start the Massachusetts Bay Colony when he was doing well where he lived in England and knew the great risks of going?” To this question, I believe that Winthrop’s initial and main reason would be that it was God’s plan and purpose for him in order to spread the gospel into those parts of the world and become an example, a “city on a hill,” for the rest of the world. I believe he would answer this way because of the things he writes in a “Model of Christian Charity” and because he had come upon some hardships in England around this time that he said he believed were God’s way of preparing him to be willing and open to
