A History of the Teepee in North America Teepees, also known as tepees or tipis are a native American home used and constructed by the plains Indians of North America. Although not thought to be the invention of the plains Indian, that honour reputedly goes to the Indians of the Northern forests, they did further develop them and are the most famous dwellers in them. It is thought the earliest use of the teepee by plains Indians was around the seventeenth century. Teepees and plains Indians such

North Americas topography consists of mountain ranges, coast and beaches, large lakes, and volcanoes. Our mountain ranges are the Appalachian mountians in the East and the Rockies in the west. Our east coast is mainly flat. The Mississippi and Missouri river flow through a lot of North America and flow out into the Gulf of Mexico. Large lakes are mainly in the midwest or central area. Lastly, the volcanoes that are apart of North America are founded in California, Oregon, and Washington State. South

continent, Neogea, consisted of what is now North America, Europe, and Asia; the southern continent, Gondwanaland, was made up of South America, Africa, Australia, India, and Antarctica. About 130 million years ago, South American separated from the rest of Gondwanaland and became, in effect, a gigantic island; its creatures, which included marsupials and edentates-precursors of today’s sloths, anteaters and armadillos-developed in isolation. North America separated from Eurasia much later; by then

Fascism can be linked historically to the governments of Germany, Italy and Spain prior to WWII. It is the most cruel, undemocratic and militaristic form of capitalism (Naiman, 2012). It consists of an all powering totalitarian government, which controls the people, nation and the economy. Fascism can occur in any capitalist society under certain conditions, and occurs as a gradual shift with the growth of fascist beliefs and values. Large corporations can operate freely and gain control over the

North America’s Different History The human history in North America I believe was very different than that of Asia, Eurasia, and Europe. One example of why I believe that North America’s history was different is that the importance of a military force was far more important to the Europeans than the Americans. The Europeans were so intertwined in their problems of over population, poverty, and political order that the need for a military was needed. The Americans did not have these problems right

UNIT ONE: Terms and Concepts I. The Shaping of North America 1. History was beginning first recorded 6,000 years ago. 500 years ago Spaniards discovered the Americas and soon started colonizing the new lands. 2. The theory of Pangaea suggests that the continents were once stuck together into one huge continent. Eventually they started drifting into separated landmasses, which gave birth to the modern continents. 3. Geological forces by the continental plates created the Appalachian and Rocky Mountains

Both North and South Americas span across many latitudes. This means that they experience many different climates. North America is very wide and experiences continentality. South America is more narrow and does not experience the same level of continentality. Both Americas have rain shadow effect in their south west. They have desert areas created by this rain shadow. South America has a huge tropical area that North America does not experience, but South America does not have an arctic area like

Even though the French were key factors in the colonization of North America, they are not normally mentioned in history books. However, their lack of prominence in history books does not mean that they are entirely unimportant. The French were extremely skilled hunters and trappers when they came to North America, and almost all furs and skins from North America were insanely valuable. Also, the French explorers were after everything every other explorer was after; the Northwest Passage, and a shorter
