History Of The Penobscot Tribe
What the Penobscot did with their food is not a mystery. Once they had the acorns, they took the tops off and grinded them into edible flour. When they had the berries, they made them into paint, or they ate them. When the Penobscot tribe had the meat, the either cooked it, or traded it. When they had their corn, they used it for medicine, ate it, or traded it off for hide or meat.

    Food: Seminole men were good hunters. Fish were speared from canoes. They caught otter, raccoon, bobcats, alligator, turtle, and birds. To catch deer, they would burn a patch of grass. When the new grass grew in, the deer came to feast, and the Seminole caught the deer. Villagers planted crops behind their house and on nearby hammocks. They did not weed or fertilize or irrigate. Wild plants mingled with the ones they had planted. The Seminole planted pumpkins, squash, and corn. Corn was the main crop. They used corn to make corn flour, corn bread, corn pancakes, and even a corn soft drink called sofkee. Sofkee is still a popular soft drink among the Seminoles on reservations today. They sweetened their food with sugar cane, and to get the sugar…

    Lewis and Clark were fascinated on how developed the Mandan’s were at growing their own vegetables. They were experts at eating fresh, dried, and storing foods in caves under their lodges. Especially with corn, squash, and beans (Chuinard 254). “They preserved their meat in a variety of ways: fileting and drying it, pounding it with berries to make pemmican, and taking advantage of the natural refrigeration of the cold winters by hanging their meat high in trees or enclosing it within a stockade to keep the wild animals from it” (Chuinard 254) reported Robert Chuinard in Only One Man…

    The Kickapoo Indians, roughly meaning, “He who moves about, standing now here, now there,” spent centuries of time wandering the land of North America. Algonquin, the language from which the Kickapoo speak, have taken their name from the Algonquin words Kiwegapaw or Kiwigapawa. Today, the recognized tribes are the Kickapoo Tribe of Oklahoma, the traditional Tribe in Texas, the Kansas Kickapoo Tribe, and also, The Mexican Kickapoo Tribe. Their population of 3,000 people in 1759 has grown to be almost 600 more members by the year 1990 in the United States (Malinowski, Sheets 88). It seems, the Kickapoo people were not as well known or respected as other tribes today, and unfortunately, were kicked around by not only the Europeans, but also, other Indian tribes. Although the Kickapoo are a lesser known tribe, their traditional ceremonies and way of life are fascinating.…

    Perched upon stumps, telling stories by the fire, day fades into dawn. As the fire burns on the sound of drums pierce the ears of all around it. This is the life of the Chippewa tribe. The Chippewa tribe, also known as Ojibway Indians (Web), was created by the Algonquian people. In the early years, the Algonquian people maintained different tribes and cultures. They also traveled throughout the Great Lakes from place to place to find more efficient resources (Ditchfield 6). In the 1600s, the Chippewa tribe and its people, the Chippewas, became one of the largest and most efficient tribes in North America (7). The Chippewas called themselves the Anishnabe which means the first people because of their Indian heritage (8). The lives of the Chippewas…

    A popular stereotype given to Native Americans is they are all savages and hunt animals in a very animalist way.

    The characteristics of the Cherokee upper world are similar, in part, to the Christian conception of heaven. The upper world, or Galunlati, exists above the great stone sky arch that hovers over the middle world. It is a place of peace, harmony, and sacred powers characterized by stability, consistency, and the structured security of limits and boundaries. Galunlati is far more magnificent than the human world and is untainted by the immorality and depravity inherent in human behavior and the negative forces within the cosmos as a whole. The Cherokee strive to maintain balance in all aspects of their lives and between the three worlds. Therefore, it is quite logical that their idea of an idyllic realm would be one of order, regularity, predictability, and the known comfortable commodity of past time. Even the denizens of the upper world appear within the Cherokee world as recognizable reflections or representations. For instance, animals and chiefs and councils are of similar construct or function in both worlds and the earthly counterpart of the…

    For better or worse, many societies of the modern world tolerate certain methods of self-intoxication. Despite the possibility of negative consequences, all the cultures of the world the consumption of substances like alcohol and tobacco are sanctioned under particular circumstances. All societies face the reality that significant proportions of mankind seek to the same time expressly criminalizing others. This irony is made more bizarre by the evidence that a myriad of rich cultural timelines can supply to demonstrate that there is reasonable historical precedence in existence to show the use of alternative forms of drugs being cultivated and utilized.(McKenna)…
