The text “Changes In The Land” by William Cronon is an accurate depiction of the alteration in ecology in New England during the colonial period. The book carefully describes how the Indians had been influencing their environment in a significant yet sustainable manner many years before the Europeans came to colonize New England. Cronon explains the idea of how commodity shaped the differences between western and native land practices. He has the ability to tell this story from both perspectives in a correct and clearly understandable fashion. He illustrates that the misunderstanding between two races eventually led to the fall of the Indians. Cronon constantly calls upon many records and scientific reports to support his arguments on the…
So, the Paleo-Indians during their point of traveling crossed the land bridge Beringia, for food the hunted large mammals such as Mastodons, Mammoths, and an ancient form of Bison. Since at some points of travelling food could be scarce they also gathered berries and lived in a mostly hunter…

Native American of the Northeast jobs and roles were divided evenly among the people. The boys did most of the farming so the dad could gather food. The fields they were located on the bottom right of the exhibit. The boys would plant, farm, and pick the crops to eat. The Northeast Native Americans had forests which is located on the bottom right of the exhibit. The forest was important because that is where most of the animals lived, which is what they ate most of the time. It is the dad's role to hunt or fish to gather the food. The forest also gave them wood for fires so they could cook. Cooking was the women and moms job. The village was were the women did most of their work. The village is located…
How did the Natives live in the West? The Native American people that lived West of the Mississippi river were called “nomadic” people because they moved around a lot in big groups. The men in these nomadic groups were responsible for hunting…
To understand the ways in which the Indians of New England lived their lives one must understand that not all Indian villages practiced the same traditions. The Natives in northern New England did not plant crops and solely hunted and gathered to stay alive. The Indians of the north were vastly different from the colonists in one fashion: they did not store any food for the winter. This sounds irrational but to the Natives…
The Haida people had an extremely complex social organization. They were highly respected by their peers and those they traded with and were feared by those who were at war with them. Their art continues to flourish today and many traditions have survived into today’s world.…
The development of Native American civilizations in the New World differed from those in the Old World because they did not have the resources transport and communicate like the Old World did. The New World did not have horses or any other draft animals, so they relied on man power alone. Major civilizations were not all located along major rivers, and due to the difficulties traveling presented them with, had very poor communication with one another. They were also faced with the disadvantage of geographic isolation from the rest of the world. Despite these setbacks, the Native Americans were still able to create astoundingly complex civilizations, with surprisingly similar characteristics to eastern hemisphere civilizations. Similarities…
This August 2012 article “Tapping Into the Land, and Dividing its People” describes the controversies of whether the Blackfeet tribes should allow oil companies on to their 1.5 million acre reservation on order to drill for oil. This issue causes divide within the peoples on the reservation because of their Blackfeet beliefs of how the land is living and very sacred and whether or not to go against those beliefs in order to gain jobs and wealth overall.…
The experiences of the Native Americans and the Africans in the North American colonies during the colonial period differed greatly, but were also similar in many ways. The natives were just that, natives; they owned land that was taken from them by European settlers who came from a land faraway. The settlers came to the natives' land, and were at a disadvantage because most of their people had died from diseases or hunger whilst crossing the ocean to find a New World. The natives saw how pathetic they were and approached them in offer of trades, which would lead to good relations between the two groups (After the Mayflower). Years after the natives' initial act of kindness, the settlers became greedy demanding their land, and threatening their villages if they didn't supply them with it. Because of the threat of destruction to their villages, the natives retaliated by attacking the settlers which ultimately led to the demise of the natives. "Africans, on the other hand, were struck by the shock of the new at the moment of their enslavement, well before they stepped on board ship or set foot on American soil" (Merrell article, page 538). Africans were enslaved, and taken from their homeland, from everything they knew. They were deemed not only different, but…
The huts of the tribes are well made. Materials include thatch, palm leaves, and wooden poles for support (Houses of the Rainforest KidExplorers CristianAnswers.net). These materials make a great protector against weather and predators. These tribes favored these designs because of their easiness to build. “Huts are quickly built of natural materials…”(StateMaster-Encyclopedia:Hut). When the palm and thatch are braided together, it becomes much stronger. Therefore, it makes a perfect roof system to keep out strong rain, wind, and predators.…
