Ever since the beginning of mankind, humans have resorted to grouping themselves together to, at all costs, achieve a common goal. From hunting and surviving together in prehistoric times to the more modern, such as joining together with others to form an exercising group, “tribal” mentality has had a pivotal role in the development of society.

We drove up to the cafeteria in Asbury Woods. I can’t stay still in my seat. I can’t wait to listen to preaching, music, go swimming, and so much more! My mom looks at me and asks, “Are you ready for church camp?” I answer with a wide smile across my face, “I can’t wait!” I had been waiting for ever to get to go to “Camp Flood” with all of my friends. My two younger sisters can’t come to camp with me yet because they are too young, but they are excited, not only to get away from us for a week, but

interesting representation of Neanderthals and their lifestyle. The film started out with a band of Neanderthals living together in a cave type setting surrounding a bonfire. It quickly became clear that whoever possessed ‘fire’ were the elite, of the tribes. Quest for Fire was ultimately about just that: the Neanderthal’s quest for fire, but looking at the film closer, I was able to observe the portrayal of their lifestyle.

Before 1492, when Columbus sailed the ocean blue, there were many tribes living in North America. Two equally similar and different ones were the Iroquois tribe and the Cherokee tribe. On one hand, they are similar because of their geographies and their economies. On the other hand, they are different because of their cultures and religious beliefs.

Cherokee Native American Indians and the Trail of Tears What made the Cherokee culture distinctive towards others in the Trail of Tears time period was that they had a more peaceful, harmless outlook on the situation. In 1814, Andrew Jackson who would eventually become the President of the United States, had his and his whole army’s lives on the line in the Battle of Horseshoe Bend to the British forces when the Cherokee allied with them to win the battle. Surprisingly, 16 years later when Jackson

their old homes, the Cherokee found another challenge to attend to. The Cherokee nation was forced to choose between supporting the United States, a nation who had wronged them before, and the Confederate States of America, a group of rebels. Following the United States government’s abandonment of Native American reservations, the Cherokee were forced to align themselves with either the United States or the Confederate States of America.

Indians and Europeans had their differences. The culture of the Indian tribes was very different than that of the incoming white settlers. Indian
