Iroquois

The Algonquin called it Bataggataway, and the Iroquois Nation called it Tewaarathon. The sport received its current name when French settlers saw the stick used for playing and were reminded of a bishop's crozier, staff, or cross. In the early 1800s, people from Montreal became interested in the sport…

In my opinion, the purpose of the film "Curse of the Axe", appears to be an attempt to glorify the field of archaeological research. The filmmakers attempted to demonstrate that archaeologists can teach First Nations about their history. This film suggested that the Huron-Wendat had little, to no knowledge about their past. I feel that the filmmakers, even if they depicted an interesting portrayal of pre-colonial Aboriginal history, did so in a biased manner. In contrast to the last chapter of…

The most apparent barrier preventing settlement was to gathering people to go in the first place. People who understood the harshness of leaving home for unknown lands, thought twice about making choices regarding recruitment. The Iroquois’ “threat of murderous incursions that had alarmed colonists” (Moogk 487), death can be a big deterrent. If getting people to go to Canada was not a big enough issue in the first place, preventing workers from returning home proved to be an even…

Going to a new society or community, a big part thing that anthropologist study is relationships, so they spend a long time making kinship trees. Anthropologist categorize kinship in seven different ways, Eskimo Hawaiian, Sudanese, Omaha, Crow and Iroquois. The Eskimo system is the most popular way to categorize people in North America and Europe. Human relationships include gender roles, division of labor, religion, warfare and politics. Kinship is important in a popular anthropology and…

Why did the colonists break away from English rule? In 1756, a war broke out in Europe that would eventually transform into a global conflict. The Seven Years War would last until 1763. The war began when Prussia’s Fredrick II invaded a base in Saxony, one of Austria’s allies, to prevent what he thought was an attack on him. This caused a strong coalition against Prussia. Since George II was elector of Hanover, he had to aid Prussia by fighting the French attacks on Germany. This caused the…

The French and Indian War had begun in 1754 because of a boundary dispute between the French and the British. The French argued that the British had settled along the Ohio Valley that was located in their territory, thus resulting in a brutal event that is also known as the Seven Years’ War. The relationship between Britain and its North American Colonies was modified due to the French and Indian War because of the land acquisitions and economy that forever changed the way they communicated and…

The fact is we may never know the truth about how Ensign Joseph Coulon de Jumonville died. After reading the four stories that surround Jumonville’s death, indeed, his death appears to be part of an eighteenth century mystery. There were striking similarities between the four stories. On May 28, 1754, Lieutenant Colonel George Washington supported by Indian leader, Tanaghrisson, surrounded the French early in the morning. There was an altercation in the French camp, and shots were fired.…

in terms of growth in the recent past. The rate of growth is even higher in the college ranks where the men’s and women’s programs are growing by 33.5% and 36.6% respectively. The sport was first introduced by native Americans (Native American Iroquois people) who lived in the northeastern part near Canada. It was later adopted and nurtured by the Canadians. This is why the sport has been popular in the northern region for a long time. The sport is still popular among a majority of youths in…

France and Britain began to settle permanently in Canada. However, in 1935, the French explorer Jacques Cartier comes to Canada and call this is New France. At that time, it has called Stradacona with about 1,000 indigenous people belonging to tribes Iroquois and Algonquin. Because of the opposition of the local population and harsh weather in winter, Jacques Cartier finally returned to France. After the war, a lot of immigrants from Europe, especially from Britain to settle in Canada. The…
