Within the Iroquois tribe there were five sub clans that made up the Iroquois League which were the Cayuga, Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, and Seneca.…

    The Mowa Band of Choctaw Indians

    The Choctaw Indians of Alabama are a band of Indians that managed to remain behind in the outer regions of north Mobile and south Washington counties after their tribal lands were given up to the United States in 1830. Beginning in 1830, the most significant period of their removal from their homelands, the majority of the Choctaw tribe was forced along the Trail of Tears settling on reservation lands in Mississippi and Oklahoma. A small group of about 45 families avoided removal by settling and hiding out in the woods surrounding the small communities of Citronelle, Mt. Vernon, and McIntosh. “There were four major families: the Reed, Weaver, Byrd, and Rivers families. The next largest are the Snow, Johnston, Taylor, Orso, Chestang, and Fields families. Other family names that appear often within the group are Evans, Davis, Cole, Frazier, Smith, Lofton, Hopkins, and Sullivan” (Matte, Greenbaum and Brown, Origins of the MOWA Band of Choctaws). Over time, other Indians in the area that were without tribal communities of their own joined the Choctaw Indians of Alabama. Today, the Choctaw Indians of Alabama are known as the MOWA Band of Choctaw Indians. This tribe took on the name of MOWA in the 1970’s when they began to seek government recognition to identify the Indians in Mobile and Washington Counties who are descended from several Indian Tribes: Choctaw, Creek, Cherokee, Mescalero, and Apache. Over time the tribal members have intermarried or partnered with nearly 30 different tribes nationally. The name MOWA is an acronym which combines the first syllables of Mobile and Washington counties; the two counties where the tribal reservation straddles both counties. The name “MOWA” does have a distinctive ring to it; but the name does not have deep roots in Indian linguistics. It was taken on because it was similar to…

    Pomo Indian Tribe

    For this research project on Native American people I chose a tribe called The Pomo. I chose this tribe for various reasons. First off I wanted to always know more about Indians and there ways of living and various cultures. Another reason I chose the Pomo was they are from Northern California, and well I lived in Sacramento before I moved down to Florida, so I wanted to learn about the Indians that live in California around where I used to live. One last reason I chose the Pomo Indian Tribe was I liked there name and really wanted to see how they lived on their own, what they believe in, and some myths about origin of man and the universe. The purpose in the Pomo’s myths is creation on mankind and the universe. Just like people of today they have their own stories and Mythology about the origin of man. Now let’s get into the real story of the Pomoan People on Northern California.…

    The Shawne Indian Tribe

    Another interesting tribe was the Shawnee. Linguistically Algonquian and known as the 'people from the south,' the Shawnee were tall and muscular, with coarse features and exceptionally prominent cheekbones. They were diligent cultivators of the soil until expulsion from Kentucky and North Carolina forced them to lead a wandering existence. Permitted by the Delaware and Iroquois to enter Pennsylvania, they settled on the flats below Philadelphia, in the forks of the Delaware as far north as the Minisink, and in the Wyoming Valley. Later they drifted westward to the Ohio Valley and engaged in the Indian wars of a later day.…

    The Navajos

    The Navajos people lived in what is now southwestern America (Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah). Up until they had contacts with Pueblo and the Spanish they were hunters and gatherers, today the United States Of America has granted the land also known as A Reservation. Navajos lived in what was usually a Hogan, A Hogan is a square or conical with a distinct rectangular entrance made of wood or covered in mud, the Navajos usually had the door pointing west to welcome the sun every morning. A Hogan was a sacred place to the Navajos they respected it. The Navajo diet was that of nomadic hunter-gatherers who pursued deer and smaller game, gathered wild plant foods, and carried out raids on farming peoples. As the Navajo evolved under the influence of first the Pueblo Indians and then the Spanish, they came also to be shepherds and farmers. Mutton and goat became staple foods, as did corn, beans, squash, and some fruits from orchards. The Navajo looks at life as a learning experience for his chance to improve; they study nature and use it to its full extent. He tries to learn all that he can from nature without destroying its purpose. Navajos gave thanks to Mother Nature for providing them with nutrition and health. The everyday Navajo male dressed in deerskin shirts, hip-leggings, moccasins, and native blankets. The everyday Navajos female wore deerskin waist, skirt, moccasins, and blanket but as years went by they started wearing what they called a "squaw-dress” similar to a poncho, they knitted these and wore them. Art for Navajos was first developed in 1872 by a man named Astidi chon he first came to a place named Zuni to make silver jewelry for sale not only did he sell but in return for the Zuni’s hospitality he taught them how to make silver ornaments, this eventually led to the spread of his technique and they began to use them all around other tribes. The Navajos were very bonded to their family and the events that happened in there surrounding life, from this…

    The Shawnee Tribe

    Did you know that the Shawnee Indian tribe is a fascinating tribe? I recently have learned that they are nomads. Nomads are people who travel instead of settling in one place. Southern Ohio, West Virginia, and western Pennsylvania were a couple of states they once lived in. Until around 1660 Iroquois drove out the tribe to southern Carolina, Tennessee’s Cumberland basin, eastern Pennsylvania, and southern Illinois. They had tried to return, but again they were forced to leave by American settlers. The settlers pushed them first to Missouri and then to Kansas, but the Shawnee people settled in Oklahoma after the Civil War.…

    The Tuareg tribe can also be spelled as Touareg pronounced twa-reg. This tribe rules throughout the deserts of Africa, especially the region of the Sahara desert. Keeling (2012:28) reports that the Tuareg tribe consists of roughly 1 million members. The tribe lives across a range of countries in the north-western region of the Sahara. This includes countries such as Morocco, Niger, Algeria and Libya. Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia 6th edition (2011:1) adds that due to various droughts and famine during the 70’s many of the Tuaregs had to move to urban areas in order to survive. Many remained in these areas abandoning the nomad lifestyle and continued to live as farmers.…
