One of the ways Mississippian chiefdoms compare to present-day United States society is in leadership positions. The chiefs of a village was viewed as being the most sacred member of society and given the chance to rule of the members of the village, similar to how the president is the viewed as being the highest leader in the US. In both chiefdoms and US society, the chief and president are not all powerful beings, though. Both rulers rulers have to recieve the approval of the council of elders/Congress. Another similarity Mississipian chiefdoms have in common with US society is the connection of multiple villages relying on one chief, just as in the US, there are fifty states, yet we are all unified under one central government.
The video begins with the Cumberland Gap which was created by a meteorite. Yet it become a dividing line between the British and the Native Americans. In May 1775, Daniel Boone was the spirit of the “new” American for he was a hunter, freedom fighter, and a dreamer. He and his men ignored the British rule to stop expansion, yet Boone and his men clash with the Native American group named the Shawnee. Boone and his men won against the Native group and settled what is known today as Kentucky.

When comparing the Southwest indians to the Eastern Woodlands indians I found there were some differences, in their homes, the indians in the Southwest had hut like homes made of stone or adobe while indians in the Eastern Woodlands had lodge like homes made from wood. Farming and hunting seemed to be big for the Eastern Woodlands, but most of the Southwest people were just gatherers and hunters when they could be, although there were some successful farmers. Both areas had hostile groups of people, but the two groups in the Southwest later became more settled and peaceful. The Eastern Woodlands and the Great Plains had a few differences, again their homes being one of them.

Myths of the Cherokee, by James Mooney, is packed with wonderful Cherokee folklore tales. There are numerous fantastic legends dating back to the early Cherokee days, ranging from creation myths to wonder stories and beyond. Whilst each story is distinct and intriguing in its own right, the spotlight will be attracted to two in particular: “The First Fire” and “The Deluge”. "The First Fire" presents the tale of Kănăne′sk Amai′yh, a little water spider who accomplished what no other larger animal could. The water spider was able to restore fire to the animal community after the flame went out on a frigid night, which no other creature was able to do (Mooney 239).

The three Native American tribes I chose to study were the Wampanoag from the east, Shoshone tribe from the west, and Comanche from the South. All three had differences and similarities, but their traditions, and history are very similar. The Native Americans migrated depending on the season because of the different crops that grew every season. Along with migrating they would also have to create wigwams, longhouses, and teepees each time they moved. Furthermore, their diet consisted of a wide variety of crops except corn, beans, and squash were the most common crops collected.
