Effie Yeaw Native Americans

Decent Essays
I would take the students to Effie Yeaw Nature Center. There we would learn about how the Maidu Indians lived.
Effie Yeaw is located near the American River, which is where the Indians would have fished or got their water for cooking, drinking or where they would even wash their clothes. While are there we would even learn about what types of foods they would have eaten, or types of tools they would have used to hunt and to cook their food.
I think the students would enjoy this trip and have fun while they are learning about history. It is also going to get the students out of the class room to get out and enjoy the outdoors for the day and enjoy a nature hike to see all the different plants, trees, and even animals the Indians would have used

    It would enhance the class by giving them a visual and fun way to learn about Pawnee Bill. The exhibits in the museum were both informative and attractive. I had so much fun walking through the museum and learning about not only Pawnee Bill, but also Buffalo Bill, Annie Oakley, the Wild West shows, how ranches operated, the tools that were used by the people that lived and worked there. There was a small version of what the Wild West show would have looked like during one of their busiest times, and it really put into perspective what the ranch would have looked like at the time, filled with tents, wagons, and horses.…

    Imagine yourself stuck in a cramped, dark room for four months straight. Now imagine leaving your home where you grew up your whole life and not knowing if you would ever return. This is what every settler endured when they embarked on this treacherous journey. The people that sailed on this journey were only the beginning of what was to become one of the most powerful countries on earth. Jamestown, Virginia became the first successful British colony in the new world because of the determination of the settlers, the leadership the colony had, and the help of the Native Americans.…

    Discussion 1 The turn of the century in 1900’s, most remaining Native Americans had been forced, to leave their ancestral lands; it was truly a time of cultural assimilation (Assimilation through Education). Some chose to live on the reservations that were created by the U.S. government starting in the 1890s, while others spent their lives hiding from whites whom they feared would kill or capture them. Native Americans world as they new it naturally died out, from progression (Assimilation through Education), they needed to become a part of white society. There Indian language, religion, and art, would become something from the past to be studied or viewed in a museum, but would not be the products of living cultures.…

    The Iroquois, now known as the Haudenosaunee, (before, they were known as Kanonsionni, or the people of the longhouse), were an important Native American group that lived in North America long before the Europeans arrived. Composed of five, and later six tribes, (or nations), the Iroquois lived in the eastern woodlands as far back as 1000 A.D. The Iroquois lived in the Eastern Woodlands, in what is now New York. Their land was comprised of large forests located just south of Lake Ontario. The land was east of the Finger-Lakes along the Mohawk River (among other rivers). The Iroquois land was bordered by Algonquin land, resulting in much fighting over hunting lands.…

    What are some of the theories about how native people populated or first came to the North American continent? Explain some of the evidence that has been used to prove some of these theories. There are many theories about who the native people are and where they came from. Some European theories include saying that American Indians were one of the lost tribes of Israel, that they were descendants of a Welsh prince, or that they descended from early villagers of Polynesia, Phoenicia, the Middle East, or Japan. One theory about how native people populated the North American continent is that they came by sea, moving back the time when they may have migrated.…

    Identify and Outline your chosen group: My chosen group is Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People. In Australia, there are two completely different cultural groups made up of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and there are also over 250 unique languages spread across the Indigenous land. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders have individual societies and cultures but their experiences with oppression, dispossession and colonization in their home country shows quite a strong bond between the two cultures. The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders had been in Australia for 40000 years before the English came and invaded.…

    It would be a great lesson for discussion on Crazy Horse who has become a “mythical figure” in our culture’s collective mind (Diamond, "Reel Injun"). It is said that he never had a photograph taken of him, but there are many faked photographs. I think this discussion shows the humanity of the Sioux as a whole. I would also show some photos of the stereotypical “Plains Indian”, which I come to think of as a member of the Lakota, Nakota, or Dakota. Images could be shown in class to show students the “stereotype” versus an actual Native resident of South Dakota.…

The new people needed people to farm the land so they payed the natives and brought there own slaves to work the lands. For the natives it was weird to be working for someone else and to be treated like slaves. So the rest of the natives families and friends fought the new people settlers to get there people back.…

    What do you make of the irony that women were often treated quite well in Indigenous traditions and yet, today, Native American women are the group of women that experience the highest incidence of domestic violence? My reaction: It upsets me to think about the violence that women are experiencing throughout all cultures. For Native American women to be experiencing the highest domestic violence I feel at fault. If it weren 't for colonization and the “whites” invading the Native American territory the concept of women being less than men would never have been introduced to the Native American culture.…

    Within the group, we split the work amongst us in the categories we decided to talk about the main ideas such as: an overview, Revolution, Tiburcio Vasquez, Joaquin Murrieta, Agriculture, culture, marriage, and mining. After the reading of chapter four I’ve never knew so much information on California, I knew about the gold rush, but not so much about the abuse of Mexicans and foreigners had to go through during the mines, and about Joaquin Murrieta and his history. Finding information on marriages was a bit difficult, but at the same time it was interesting. When it came to the class participation, we came up with many different ideas like a quiz, or something similar to asking questions and answers. In the end, the group decided to go with a game “heads up” that hopefully the class would like to…
