Tradition And Lifestyles: The Cheyenne's Traditions
Just like every other culture, the Cheyenne had traditions and lifestyles. The Cheyenne’s land consisted of grass - covered prairies, because the Cheyenne had vast stretches of land, a good war pony became a man’s most precious possession. The Cheyenne lived in the areas of present day: Minnesota, Oklahoma, Montana, and some parts of Colorado, South Dakota, and Wyoming, so the tribe had many hot summers and cold winters. The Cheyenne lived in tepees, a tepee was made of wooden poles covered in weather - proof buffalo hides, because they were quick to put up and easy to take apart. The men of the tribe would hunt large animals: deer, antelope, wild sheep, elk, and buffalo. While the men hunted animals the women were responsible to use buckskin

    They would create all of their belongings out of anything the earth would provide for them. They lived in cone-shaped shelters called tepees in which they built with cattail leaves and birch bark (Ditchfield 10). To construct these tepees they would find long wooden poles and stretch an excess amount of cloth over it then tie the top of the poles together (11). When it came to chow the Chippewas were eager to hunt. The men of the tribe were to play their role by hunting for their families. They would hunt animals such as elk, rabbit, bear, moose, and deer (12). Other tactics used to catch prey were to set snares, fish in canoes, and use bows and arrows (13). “Chippewa women gathered nuts, berries, and wild rice” (15).

    The United States v. Sioux Nation of Indians was a case that was decided in the Supreme Court in 1980, but really goes back to the events surrounding the Fort Laramine Treaty of 1868. The events that led up to the Sioux Nation pursuing legal action can pretty much be summarized as the United States government using their military power and governmental law as a means to wrongfully and/or immorally take away land that was promised to the Sioux Nation in the Fort Laramine Treaty of 1868. The treaty stated that the Great Sioux reservation, including the Black hills, would be “set apart for the absolute and undisturbed use and occupation" of the Sioux Nation (Sioux), and that no treaty for the cession of any part of the reservation would be valid…

    The Apache tribe lived in the American southwest desert regions, which included Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. Living on the plateaus, the food was alright even though they lived in desert type climates. There was little rain and cacti that covered the rocky, dry terrain. The hunting wasn't always great. Rabbits and smaller mammals were hunted, but didn't feed mouths well. 1601 was when the Apache first were spotted and given that name. On the southern plains they were given the name querecho. But they never stayed in the same spot for long. They were always on the move. They grew foods such as watermelon, corn, and beans. Their diets consisted of mostly grains and plant foods.…

    Since most of the Great Plains Native Americans were nomadic, so their homes had to be easily disassembled. They needed easy to disassemble homes so they could move when the animal herds move. They lived in tipis and tee-pees, which are made of wooden poles and animal skins. Their clothing was also made from animal skins. The animal skins were sewn together by threads made from deer. Men wore breech cloths and buckskin tunics decorated with beads. Women and girls wore long buckskin dresses with beads. Boys wore nothing until the age of ten. In the winter time, they lived in more stable homes called earth lodges. Earth lodges kept them warm in the winter.

They hunted many animals including deer, squirrel, turkey, raccoon, bear, muskrat, rabbit, and ducks/geese. They set traps for the animals, and they disguised themselves to blend in with their surroundings to get close enough to club or shoot them. People never wasted anything; they used all the different parts for different things. In January and February they hunted beaver for their pelts and meat to trade with the settlers. In the summer time they, and during fall, groups of men and women would leave the village and hunt. Small temporary lodges were used.…
