majority of tribe
Majority of tribe’s treatment of their captives was hospitable in order to assist with the assimilation into the tribe. These captives would most likely replace a lost or killed family member within the tribe. Women and children were treated the best as they were less likely to resist capture and would easily adapt to tribal culture. Mary Jemison was a great example of a captive woman marrying a Seneca man and raised a family with the Seneca tribe. I believe Mary Jemison would not accept any offer to return to the European society after creating a new life among the Seneca people. The treatment of a captive depended on how well they would assimilate into the tribe culture.
I do relate with some of the items said in the slide show. It has been 8 years since I have done any advanced math so this is going to be a challenge. In my everyday life I just use some basic math but nothing hard. I am hoping I will be able to comprehend the material quickly and do great in this class.
After reviewing the material I believe that the math zone is going to contribute the most for me to succeed. I looks very hands on and interesting. I have begun reading the course e book and some this are starting to come back to me. It is just a lot to try and remember. After looking for and finding the lesson packets and looking at the practice tests it looks like this class is very structured and easy to navigate and learn. Thank you and I hope to learn a lot and meet some new people.

    Inheritance was based on the mother of child so there was no discrimination against children born into the tribe from a non-Cherokee father. Women grew corn, squash, and sweet potatoes. There were seven clans in a tribe and the young the people had to marry outside there clans. Starting in 1756, Cherokee’s were involved in wars between the British and the French as well as wars with other tribes. This started the division of the upper, middle, and lower towns. After Cherokee defeated everything, they concentrated on assimilating American technology and culture. Then, later on, began to farm and live in European style houses. Each town had a council assembling men and women. They would meet in the council house, every night and were all included. Each chief said what needed to be said and then everybody had their opportunity to speak afterwards. Never was there any…

    Before I read the book, I was a little bit concern about those people who got capture by the Indian. Based on my previous ideas and logical thinking, I thought those white captive will either get kill or turn into slaves. But after I read the White Captives by James Axtell, I found out the Indians were very kind to the white captive. Some people could report that “every captive left the Indians with regret.” Some captives are really fell in love with the Indian culture, even when they had been returned, they still only responded to Indian names, spoke only Indian dialects, felt comfortable only in Indian cloths. From that point we can see, the Indians real treat white captives as their own families. The Indians describe white captives as their own flesh, and blood, after the war was fades on both sides, they journeyed through the English settlements to visit their estranged children. While their traveling, the Indians hurried their prisoners to replace their hard-heeled shoes with the footwear of the forest-moccasins. These were universally approved by the prisoners, who admitted that they traveled with “abundant more ease” than before. Back in that time, I thought the lack of food would be the big problem, Indians will only provide barely enough food for white captives to survive. But turn out, although their food in short supply, the Indians always shared it equally with the captives. In the beginning, I thought those women who are captives will usually turn into sex slave. But according to the reading, although they had been completely powerless in captivity, the Indians had never affronted them sexually. One reason for Indians’ lack of sexual interest was perhaps they seem black the color as beauty. But personally I think the Indians just respect their captives, which have nothing to do with their skin color. The Indians not only kind to women, their kindness to children was more recognizable. Thomas told a common story of how “some of the children who were…

    The Government had agreed to deal with the Natives through "formal treaties", but a lot of changes were made as the government erased and redrew treaty line after treaty line, making their way more towards West. However, many Americans felt respect towards the Indians. They wanted them to be part of their society so they tried to Christianize them, civilize them, gave them the chance to attain literacy. Some Tribes resisted and some followed, especially the "Five Civilized Tribes"-which included the Seminoles, Cherokee, Creeks, Choctaw, and the Chickasaw. The Native Americans related to these tribes went to school, learned about agriculture, owned private property, and even owned black slaves. They became very open to the idea of joining the…

    The Navajo Native americans are no different when being effected. According to Ariz Flagstaff, “the Navajo Nation is seeking potentially millions of dollars from Urban Outfitters Inc. over clothing, jewelry and other merchandise bearing the tribe's name that the popular retailer has sold.”. The cultural appropriation made by one of the mass clothing retailers, is a controversial matter. However, they have refused to see the negative impact this has on the Navajo tribe, culturally. This show’s how not just the government but society has taken advantage of their culture. Their key trait that establishes their culture is neglected, thus affecting how future generations will see their culture. In addition to the effects on culture, the government…

    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 dispute over land between the Navajo Tribe and Hopi Tribe has been an on going dispute since the late 1800 's. Although it might not seem like a high priority topic of conversation for most people, it is a very personal and sentimental topic for these two tribes. The Navajo population outnumbers the Hopi by a ratio of ten to one, while the amount of Hopi land has been reduced from its original size. To understand this complex situation between the two tribes, "A comprehensive solution—rather than case-by-case negotiation—is needed to solve the numerous land dispute issues confronting the Navajo and Hopi tribes" (Hardeen 1985: 9). After reading two major city newspapers and two Native American newspapers, it is evident in their discussion the differences of the two nations and yet the similarities of their goals.…
