The Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump (HSI) has been known as an UNESCO Heritage Site located in Alberta, Canada. This bison jump is a known archaeological site, that preserves the early history of Plains First Nations (Brink et al. 1986) Aboriginal people who roamed the Plains understood the importance of resources and regional topography. By understanding how the environment functioned and thrived, Plains people were also able to monitor and develop a better understanding of buffalo mobility and behaviour.…
Their house were portable, and they owned only belonging that were essential since virtually everything had to be portable. Indians might fish in the early spring during the spawing runs, then move to the coast of fish nonspawing, fish later in that spring hunt birds and pick berries until harvest in the last summer. In the winter months the Indians would split into smaller groups to hunt. They were differences in the patterns between the Indians tribes based off of which region they were concentrated in, but the bottom line was that the Indians moved to wherever the food is most plenty. Cronon talk about the way native Americans used to appreciate the land, they manipulated the landscape in simpler way to make it easier for them to live on the land, although Northern native Americans needed to alter even less because they were less prone to agriculture.…

A World Lit Only by Fire: The Medieval Mind and the Renaissance Portrait of An Age, was written in 1993 by William Manchester (1922-2004) who was an American author, historian, and biographer. He wrote over a dozen books and was given the National Humanities Medal, and the Abraham Lincoln Literary Award. Manchester’s work, A World Lit by Fire discusses the era known as the Dark Ages with its Medieval mindset throughout Europe, the development of the Renaissance, and the rise of humanism. Manchester argues that the mindset of Medieval Europe was a simple one where the notion of “Self-identity” did not exist, and where life was centrally controlled by the Roman Catholic Church. People gravitated to the Church’s congregations to become a part…
Native Americans have been oppressed, discriminated against, and mistreated since the Europeans first came to America. Countless Native Americans have died at the hands of white settlers. One of the worst times of their mistreatment, however, was during the removal from their homelands to the land east of the Mississippi. The “Nunna dual Tsuny,” as the Cherokee call it, refers to trails they walked during the forced mass movement of Cherokee people to Indian Territory in Arkansas and Oklahoma. (Hook, 6-8)…
Christopher Columbus landed in the new world in 1492, he discovered a group of peoples and named them Indians. The Natives seemed to be uncivilized and lack humanism, often thought to be savages.

The effects of the Trail of Tears When we think of the first people in America, whom do we think of? Of course, Christopher Columbus comes to mind. Yet, the first people on land were the native people. Native people were the first people to set foot on this soil, long before any white person. Regrettably, the federal government brutally attacked and removed from the Indians from homelands that they dearly loved.…

There are a lot of Native American tribes out in the world that not many people are familiar with, Potawatomi is one of them. Before researching I did not know that this tribe still existed today. The Potawatomi Native American tribe goes back a long while in history. “Prior to the 1500 A.D. the Potawatomi tribe migrated to the shores of Lake Michigan” (Loew, 2001, p. 99).…
The use of specific accounts, while individually could be disregarded as anomalies from the general “ecological Indian”, collectively, describe a variety of cultures each with their own pressures and resources. On the plains, communities revolved around the buffalo because of the abundance and relative ease in hunting it, however, fires, drought, preference for cows as opposed to bulls, competition from horses and the consumer market brought by the colonizers placed strain on the communities and their main resource until it was all but depleted (Krech 138-141). In the south, deer was an important resource similar in value to the plains buffalo alongside agriculture and gathering (Krech, 154). However, similar to the narrative in the plains, with the introduction of the consumer market, hunting outside of basic need became common, reducing population sizes faster than they could recover and forcing longer travel for successful hunts which resulted in increased interactions with other tribes leading to a higher reliance on guns for conflicts meaning the tribes had to collect more hides to purchase these weapons (Krech, 158-161). Even in the example of the Piegan tribe, who “paid little attention to the trade until just before the annual trip to the post” (Krech 142), which the author uses to contend that the consumer market colonizers brought to…
