Prehistory - the Glaciers Why is Indiana and much of the surrounding states so flat? The Earth has undergone many ice ages, the first being around 700,000 years ago. The last was about 20,000 years ago. Much of Indiana was covered by a glacial ice sheet many hundreds of metres thick. This last great glacier is called the Wisconsin Glacier. The glaciers had a scouring effect on the land and this great expanse of ice carried much sediment with it. When the ice retreated northwards, ending about 10,000 BC, the sediment, sometimes hundreds of feet thick, filled in many of the valleys that were once in the region and leaving behind it many areas that became bogs. The crushing weight of the ice only got around two thirds of the way into Indiana before it retreated, this explains the flatness of the north of the state while the south has rolling hills. The huge amount of sediment deposited by the glacier, which in places is hundreds of feet deep, also explains the rich farming land that makes up much of Indiana.

Extractions: Who were the Beothuk Indians? The Beothuk Indians were the original inhabitants of the island of Newfoundland. Upon first European contact in the 16th Century, there were about 2,000 Beothuk people. By the early 19th Century, however, they had been completely wiped out. The Beothuk were alternatively known as the Ulno, "the Skraellings"(by the Norse) and the Red Indians. They spoke a unique language which may have been remotely connected to the Algonquin tongue spoken on the mainland. Not much is known about the culture of the Beothuk people due to their isolation. Rather than being farmers, as were many of the mainland tribes, the Beothuk were hunters, with the main target being the Caribou. These were to be found in large numbers on the island. The coastline also presented many opportunities to acquire food, with fish, seals and other seafood in plentiful supply. As a result the Beothuk became very skilled fishermen and adept at manoeuvring their canoes while using their spears to harpoon their prey. When the Europeans and the Beothuk tribal enemies the Micmac began to inhabit coastal areas, however, the Beothuk fled into the interior of the island. But here the food supplies were not nearly as plentiful. In fact, many Beothuk began to die of starvation. The Beothuk were known as Red Indians primarily because of their extensive use of red ochre. A greasy mixture of red ochre would be applied to the face and bodyalong with the hair as well as any personal possessions a person had. In fact it is believed that the term redskin as used to apply to all Native American Indians originated at the time of contact between Europeans and the Beothuk.

Extractions: (80 linear feet) American Philosophical Society 105 South Fifth Street * Philadelphia, PA 19106-3386 Table of contents Abstract Formed in 1927 under the initiative of Franz Boas, Edward Sapir, and other academic linguists, the Committee on Native American Languages of the American Council of Learned Societies was charged with documenting the endangered languages of indigenous Americans. The Collection of the American Council of Learned Socities Committee of Native American Languages is one of the largest and most significant primary resources for study of the indigenous languages of North America. Beginning with the creation of the Committee in 1927, and periodically added to since by the APS, the collection has grown to over 80 linear feet of material representing at least 166 languages and dialects from the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The formats range from field notes and ethnographic texts to slip files, vocabularies, lexica, and grammars, and dozens of linguists and Native consultants are represented. Although most of the material was collected in the 1920s and 1930s, a signficant number of items have been added that extends the range of dates represented both backward and forward.

Among the 19 tribes remaining nowadays, nine have managed to preserve their distinct customs and languages relatively well. These nine tribes are the Saisiat, Atayal, Tsou, Bunun, Ami, Rukai, Puyuma, Paiwan, and Yami. The brand-new Shung Ye Museum of Formosan Aborigines houses a refined collection of 1,000 artifacts, mainly from these nine tribes.

Extractions: Over time, the Beothuk replaced their stone tools and weapons with iron. Elements of Beothuk material culture were superior to comparable European technology. By the 17th century, Beothuk groups were building more substantial housing structures. The caribou spirit was honoured by the Beothuk. There was political and social organization to Beothuk life. For more information on Beothuk religion see Native Religions of Newfoundland and Labrador Beothuk Culture Beothuk material culture consists of the physical things left behind by these people including their tools, weapons and features the non-movable artifacts of a culture, such as the remains of houses, pits, fireplaces, and the like. A Beothuk wigwam. Beothuk material culture developed out of the preceding Little Passage complex , which is to say that very early Beothuk culture is just Little Passage culture with the addition of European materials. Beothuk culture changed considerably over time as a result of those new materials. For example, when Europeans first arrived in this part of the world, the Beothuks made stone points to tip their arrows, spears and harpoons as well as stone knives and stone hide
Extractions: By the beginning of the 19th century, the Beothuks were reduced to a small refugee population living along the Exploits River system. The Beothuks The Beothuks are the aboriginal people of the island of Newfoundland. They were Algonkian-speaking hunter-gatherers who probably numbered less than a thousand people at the time of European contact. The Beothuks are the descendants of a Recent Indian culture called the Little Passage Complex. Courtesy of Dr. Ralph Pastore, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John's, Newfoundland. The arrival of migratory European fishermen in the 16th century may have provided new opportunities for the Beothuks. These fishermen erected stages, flakes and wharves during the summer fishery, but after they left the island to return to Europe, they left behind nails, lost fish hooks, and scraps of iron and kettle. Evidence from a number of Beothuk sites indicates that the Beothuks picked up these metal objects and reworked them into arrowheads, lance points, harpoon end blades, awls and hide scrapers.
