Indian tribe

For this week’s forum I decided to research the Shawnee and Chickasaw American Indian Tribes due to the fact these particular tribes populated both areas the paternal and maternal sides of my family originated from. The Shawnee tribe mainly populated Northeast areas such as Ohio and Indiana. Their culture was based on a village lifestyle where farming and hunting were done by the men of the tribe while the women focused on household chores and took to pottery. The homes were round in shape and were made out of natural products such as grass and pieces of tree bark creating wigwams which are domed shaped huts. In the 1740’s when the French migrated on to Shawnee territory they joined forces and became allies in hopes of defending their land…

different views and attitudes towards Indians beliefs and culture.

Cabeza de Vaca was an explorer who lived as a captive among various native Indian tribes for many years before escaping to Spanish settlements in Mexico. While Cabeza de Vaca wandered…

To begin the movie, we see an Indian tribe hunting an animal of some sort. The indians chase this animal through the woods. The animal reaches a trap and then is cut in at least ten different places by a wall of spikes. Indians having very tough stomachs eat the animal right away. A big group of another indian passes, they are aware. The tribe would like to pass, they were covered in marks and scars, as if they were running from something. The indians let them pass because the other tribe…

A group of Indians were hunting and while they were taking the animal apart, another tribe was walking by. They gave this tribe fish in exchange for permission to pass by. Their land was ravaged, but they didn’t say by who. It shows how the villages are like in the Indian’s type of perspective. One of them gets bullied and made fun of, because he can’t have kids. One of the elders starts giving a lesson, or speech, in the middle of the night. Everybody on the village is gathered around listening…

During the 14th and 15th centuries the Apache Indian tribe was required by cultural mandate to leave as little imprint on the land as possible. The practice of leaving no trace of their occupation in an area makes it difficult for archaeologist to locate and identify archaeological sites for the Apache Indians during that time period. This makes it difficult to answer any questions about the Apache tribe during the 14th and 15th centuries. Adding to the frustration is the fact that the Apache…

I made a winter pit house. The cedar bark teepees were semi-permanent shelters with very long strips of…

What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset - Chief Crowfoot We don't know what happened to the Salado Indian tribe, no one does except perhaps the Salado Indian tribe themselves. Did they leave because of illness or did they get chased out? What was the reason they disappeared why would they leave their home the place they had roots, where…
