The Chinook Indians were a tribe of Native Americans who lived in the Pacific Northwest. They lived along the coast of what is now Oregon and Washington State. The men used bow and arrows for hunting elk, deer and sea mammals. The women gathered other food such as shellfish, clams, roots and berries. The Chinook were very skilled traders.
Code Talkers Ingenious-clever, original, and inventive. The Navajo Code Talkers and the creators of the code were all ingenious. During World War II, the Allied forces were having terrible communication problems, and the Japanese forces on the Pacific were cracking codes faster than new ones could be made.
Northeast Native Americans Communication The Native Americans of the Northeast’s communication is Iroquoian and Algonquian. The Cayuga, Oneida, Erie, Seneca, Onondaga, and Tuscarora spoke the Iroquoian language. The Algonquian language is going extinct, there for they are learning different languages to speak with other tribes. The Northeast language is endangered because they wanted to speak different languages to speak with different tribes. Their number system was made up of various shapes and lines (located next to the tepes).
(“Code Talker | Definition, Significance, and Facts”) By analyzing this evidence we can understand that native languages were used to send messages during the war. They used the Native American languages for their code. After all, it was impossible to break because the only people who knew it were the natives themselves. This was so important because if the enemy could understand the code, they could know secret information and battle plans and could even turn soldiers against themselves.
Natives in the North and South of New England were very different. Cronon wrote, “throughout New England, Indians held their demands on the ecosystem to a minimum by moving their settlements from habitat to habitat” (Cronon 53).Northern Native Americans needed to alter even less because they were less prone to agriculture. The indians altered and manipulated the environment to better fit their needs and lifestyle by being nomadic and using the resources they found in the environment they were in at the time. Cronon wrote, “throughout New England, Indians held their demands on the ecosystem to a minimum by moving their settlements from habitat to habitat” (Cronon 53). The Europeans believed that the indians were incoherent for not seeing the many good things they and in front of them that they were capable of using.
Every single Native American tribe used oral tradition to tell stories as well as teach life lessons or to explain why the world was a certain way. Each tribe has their own ways of telling these individual stories. Some tribes had stories that other tribes knew nothing about and vice versa. Each tribe had their own language that they used to tell these stories. Which would make it difficult for other tribes to understand.
Abstract We love to hear stories told by our parents, grandparents, family, and friends, but for the Oyate, stories told by their ancestors are how they know and understand creation and how they came to be. Stories of creation, battles, tradition and so on have been passed down from generation to generation and are still being shared today. The Lakota people did not have a written language but they did use shapes and images to translate stories the best they could. That is why they heavily relied on the oral stories that were shared in the Lakota history videos and Lakota Ehanni Stories. Oral Teachings

Native American Research: Chief Pontiac Intro Chief Pontiac is a Native American that is important to the United States’ history. He was a part of the Ottawa tribe and led the American Indians to a revolution also known as the Pontiac War or Pontiac’s Rebellion, which was against the British when they first came to America. He wasn’t afraid to die for his rights. He believed that they all had rights to live in America and to live how they wanted to live. I chose him for my Native American Research because he was a courageous Native American hero.
They communicated using lingua franca which is a common language used between speakers whose native languages are different. In this case the lingua franca was mainly used for trading and agreements amongst settlers and tribes as well as between tribes themselves. Trading was a very important part of common life in the “New World”, because trading created long alliances and would help resource the Europeans and tribes. The Europeans brought objects such as horses and firearms which the Native Americans had no access to and the Native Americans would return the trade by teaching the settlers to adapt to the land as well as providing local foods. There were many different variations of lingua franca throughout the continent mixing tribe languages with themselves as well as with French, English, and Spanish depending on the settlers’ background and the tribe’s location.
Lakota Language Introduction Lakota is a Siouan language which is spoken by its people (Lakota people) who belong to the Sioux tribes. It is one of the dialects of the Sioux language apart from Dakota and Nakota (Powers, 2009). Sioux is spoken by more than 30,000 people in the US and Canada and is therefore positioned at number five amongst the most spoken native languages in the United States. Lakota is one of the three major regional varieties comprising of Western Dakota and Eastern Dakota. Western Dakota also known as Yankton-Yanktonai is at the middle of Eastern Dakota and Lakota.
Also, the extinction of buffalo affected them negatively and the domination of the whites disrupted their surroundings. The Westward Expansion impacted the Native Americans land and culture. Before the Americans started coming to the West and settling, the Native Americans had a peaceful life. Twenty-eight tribes lived in the Great
Throughout the history of the United States, there generally have been dozens of particularly social movements, which is fairly significant. From the African American Civil Rights Movement in 1954 to the feminism movement in 1920, protests for all intents and purposes have helped these groups basically earn rights and fight injustice in a really major way. Some injustices that these groups face range from lack of voting rights to police brutality, or so they essentially thought. The indigenous people of North America aren’t actually immune to these injustices, basically contrary to popular belief. Back in the 1968, the American Indian Movement generally was formed to for all intents and purposes give natives security and peace of mind in a
Native Americans Native Americans are very different from other tribes. They eat, live, dress and do many things differently. The things I’m going to be talking about in my interesting paper is What they eat? What they wear? Where they live?
