Extractions: Compact Histories. Please Note: These Compact Histories are presented here to provide information to those interested in learning more about the First Nations. Lee Sultzman has authored all of the Histories. They are NOT here to provide spoon fed information for "school reports." Accordingly we are not interested in any questions asking for help in completing your school assignment. As to those who question our credibility, you may take us or leave us. These Histories were written and assembled as a labor-of-love. Take them or leave them, period. Acolapissa The mild climate of the lower Mississippi required little clothing. Acolapissa men limited themselves pretty much to a breechcloth, women a short skirt, and children ran nude until puberty. With so little clothing with which to adorn themselves, the Acolapissa were fond of decorating their entire bodies with tattoos. In cold weather a buffalo robe or feathered cloak was added for warmth.

Extractions: Creation stories teach that Native Americans have been where they are since the world was created. It is also thought that First Americans migrated from Siberia over the Bering Strait about 14,000 years ago, or perhaps even earlier. The land bridge was dry ground for several thousand years before the sea level rose again and stopped migration. The hunters would have followed the migrating herds of large mammals as they moved south. As the glaciers melted, the First Americans spread to the North American coasts and across the entire continent. Native Americans adapted to the climates and terrains in which they lived and used whatever natural resources were available. The arrival of the Europeans in the 1500's began a change in the lives of the Indian people that continued through the next centuries. Sometimes the changes were good. The horses brought by the Spanish made bison hunting much easier and safer. But Vikings, Spanish, English and French explorers, colonists and missionaries spread diseases, made slaves of the people, forced relocations, claimed ownership of natural resources and land, and tried to stamp out the native cultures. Some of the Indian people survived, but not without making drastic changes in their life styles.

Extractions: in the Natural World Introduction Task Process Resources ... Conclusion Introduction: Many stereotypes exist concerning American Indians. Contrary to popular belief, not all Indians or Native Americans lived in teepees and rode on painted horses as they are depicted in many of the old western movies. Native Americans from different parts of what is now the United States lived in many different tribes. Each tribe had their own culture: customs, language, myths, and religion. In this WebQuest, you will read and learn about four Native American tribes from different parts of the United States: North, South, East, and West. The Task: Your task is to compare and contrast four different tribes which were indigenous to the United States: the Tlingit of the Northwest Coast, the Hopi of the Southwest, the Iroquois of the Northeast, and the Lakota of the Western plains. As you read about the customs of each tribe you will search for information concerning important foods, myths or spiritual beliefs, and important plants and/or animals. This information will be recorded on a chart. You will also note and record the biome where each tribe lives and draw conclusions as to how the biome affects the culture of each tribe. Using the information from your chart and other data from your research, you will prepare a multimedia presentation.

They had been living there for thousands of years before any Europeans arrived. Harder - When Columbus landed in what is now known as the West Indies, he incorrectly thought he had reached the Indies. He called the native people he met Indians. The Indians of the Americas spoke hundreds of different languages, had many varied ways of life, and each group had its own name. Some lived in large cities and others in small villages. Still others kept moving throughout the year, hunting animals and gathering wild plants. First Americans by K. Martin (Grades 4-8)

A new addition to these links: Indian Ruins of the Southwest Crazy Horse Memorial LONG BEFORE the white man set foot on American soil, the American Indians, or rather the Native Americans, had been living on this land. When the Europeans came here, there were probably 10 million Indians north of present-day Mexico and they had been living here for quite some time. It is believed that the first people arrived during the last ice-age, approximately 20,000 - 30,000 years ago, crossing the land-bridge at the Bering Sound, from northeastern Siberia into Alaska. The oldest documented Indian cultures in North America are Sandia (15000 BC), Clovis (12000 BC) and Folsom (8000 BC). (Please see an update on 2/11/97 under the NEWSPAGE near the bottom of this page). So, when the Europeans started to arrive in the 16th- and 17th-century they were met by Native mericans, and enthusiastically so. The Natives regarded their white-complexioned visitors as something of a marvel, not only for their outlandish dress and beards and winged ships but even more for their wonderful technology - steel knives and swords, the fire-belching arquebus and cannon, mirrors, hawkbells, earrings, copper and brass kettles, and so on.
Extractions: Indian Nations are sovereign governments, recognized in the U.S. Constitution and hundreds of treaties with the U.S. President. The history of this continent's original inhabitants encompasses a broad range of cultures and experiences. American Indians varied greatly from region to region, as did their reactions to European settlement. This website will delve into the vast and storied background of most tribes and seek to supply the visitors with as much knowledge as possible about the proud history of Native Americans . Please join us on this journey into the past, experience the present and dream about the future of the American Indian. When Columbus landed on the island of San Salvador in 1492 he was welcomed by a brown-skinned people whose physical appearance confirmed him in his opinion that he had at last reached India, and whom, therefore, he called Indios , Indians, a name which, however mistaken in its first application continued to hold its own, and has long since won general acceptance, except in strictly scientific writing, where the more exact term American is commonly used. As exploration was extended north and south it was found that the same race was spread over the whole continent, from the Arctic shores to Cape Horn, everywhere alike in the main physical characteristics, with the exception of the Eskimo in the extreme North, whose features suggest the Mongolian...

"The Turner Farm site is located on North Haven Island, one of the Fox Island group in Penobscot Bay off the central Maine coast. Large-scale excavations there during the 1970s, followed by over a decade of analysis, have produced a body of data that, in its age, size, and comprehensiveness, is probably unparalleled among coastal sites in North America. It spans five millennia, from 5000 B.P. to the early historic period, and includes 6,500 catalogued artifacts of stone, bone, and fired clay, as well as 1,800 bone samples from which over 20 thousand vertebrate specimens have been identified. ...the Turner Farm data set is doubly useful, for it provides a record of human coastal adaptation during the entire recent Holocene epoch at a single location."

Extractions: Christopher Columbus was the first European to report seeing a manatee in the New World. To Columbus, and other sailors who had been at sea for a long time, manatees were reminiscent of mermaids the mythical half-fish, half-woman creatures of the ocean. Manatees are not fish, however, but marine mammals. The West Indian or Florida manatee (and sometimes called sea cow) is found primarily along the coast of Florida. Most adult manatees are about 10 feet long and weigh 800 to 1,200 pounds, although some larger than 12 feet and weighing as much as 3,500 pounds have been recorded. These "gentle giants" have a tough, wrinkled brown-to-gray skin that is continuously being sloughed off. Hair is distributed sparsely over the body. With stiff whiskers around its mouth, the manatee's face looks like a walrus without tusks. The manatee maneuvers through the water moving its paddle- like tail up and down and steering with its flippers. It is very agile for such a large animal, sometimes somer-saulting and doing barrel rolls in the water. The manatee often rests suspended just below the water's surface with only the snout above water. It feeds underwater, but must surface periodically to breath. Although the manatee can remain underwater for as long as 12 minutes, the average time is 4 1/2 minutes.

Extractions: The geographical focus of this course is the U.S. West Coast from the Mexican to Canadian borders. We will consider how international borders, migration, trans-Pacific linkages, and other factors have shaped a unique multiracial landscape that includes Asian Americans, Mexican Americans, Native Americans, African Americans, and European Americans. Some questions we will address are: How did borders appear in societies throughout the West Coast and in what ways were they understood, protected, and crossed? What is a border community? How did the Coast's Pacific Rim location and characterization as an Asian gateway affect people living there? How did racial and ethnic borders appear, persist, and change?
Extractions: The American Fisheries Society The Cell: Pseudo-nitzschia are large pennate diatoms. Off California, Oregon and Washington at least three species (P.australis, P.pseudodeli-catissima and P.multiseries) appear to be toxic and detection of the toxic species must be done using an electron microscope or tagging with a compound specific for the genetics of the cell. R. Horner Distribution: These diatoms are common to most of the world's oceans. Off the US west coast, Pseudo-nitzschia are common from spring to fall but are present in the coastal ocean all year long. History: Pseudo-nitzschia has caused problems from areas as divergent as the Maritime Provinces of Canada in 1987 to the west Coast of the US. The domoic acid produced by some Pseudo-nitzschia species causes neurologic damage and fatalities in humans, marine mammals and seabirds. How Do the Blooms Start? The Juan de Fuca eddy region (cold water) is a site of persistent upwelling (nutrient enrichment) throughout the summer months. Blooms of Pseudo-nitzschia may initiate in this zone. The duration of upwelling and the timing of the first major fall storms are factors believed to influence the levels of toxin that reach coastal razor clam populations.

Extractions: By Tuklo Bish-Ko-Kos and Maureen Hofer My name is Tuklo Bish-Ko-Kos. In 1941, I was born in my grandparent's house on the Chickasaw Nation in Ada, Oklahoma. My grandmother delivered me; my grandfather gave me my Cherokee name meaning "two robins." If there is no Shaman (spiritual leader) at the birth, it is customary for the grandfather to name the children. A circuit doctor arrived about 5 days later to check on my mother's condition. He offered to "check me over" for $5.00. The receipt for his services is my birth certificate. I am mixed blood of about 10 tribes, Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw as well as Scotch Irish and Norman. I speak Choctaw and Cherokee as well as English. My English name is Jimmie Lee Robins. We literally lived in the Red River Swamp Basin. Our house was built Indian style, upon 4-foot stilts because of the floods. It had three rooms: one bedroom, a large room and a place to cook in the winter. During the summer, I slept outside and we cooked outside. The hunting dogs and other animals would always be running underneath the house. We raised cattle, pigs and chicken. There was plenty of wildlife around our house and once in a while, inside our house. I vividly remember the day that my mother found a Copperhead snake in the flour barrel. I took it outside with a shovel and "disposed" of it." An old Chief of the Comanches would come and take me on horseback and bring me back to his tepee. He always had a deer hanging in the tree. He would cut several chunks and cook them while telling me stories about his childhood and his times as a young man riding with Quanah Parker, the famous and last great 19th century war chief of the Quahada Comanches. One day, while I was visiting, a cow got caught in the fence and died. A Model-T Ford pulled up shortly and a parcel of Comanche women got out and butchered the cow. When they finished, they threw the meat in the car, climbed on top of it, smiled at me and drove away. It was as if they had been picking wild flowers instead of butchering a thousand pound cow.

Extractions: Women of the American West led the nation and the world into the struggle for female voting rights, known as the "suffrage movement." This remarkable suffrage success story began in 1869, when Wyoming Territory approved full and equal suffrage for scarcely one thousand women. Contagious excitement for women's rights spread quickly across the Rocky Mountain landscape. "This Shall be the Land for Women!" cheered western journalist Caroline Nichols Churchill upon Colorado's stunning victory by popular vote in 1893. Indeed, the West soon came to symbolize political equality and opportunity as a result of women's enfranchisementawakening the nation in its steady eastward march toward political freedom for women and all citizens. Today in the year 2000, most of the world's women enjoy the right to vote, yet a handful of nations still deny this basic right of citizenship.

Extractions: Mr. Miller has been a speaker with the Organization of American Historians (OAH) Distinguished Lectureship Series since 1999. With that assertion in mind, let me suggest to the reader the followingif one will only consider the works of Catlin (both in visual and printed form) in toto, it should become apparent to the fair-minded observer that the man in question was a true ethnologist, perhaps even what one might call for lack of a better word a "proto-anthropologist." That would make Catlin a person to be reckoned with so far as his studies of the Indians were concerned; and, as I have stated in the subtitle of this essay, an apologist for the Native Americans and their way of life (on the plains in particular), before the incursions of the white man's civilization altered, if not obliterated, it entirely. With that thought in mind, let us proceed to an examination of Catlin's life shortly after his arrival in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1830. Within two years he embarked from there on the American Fur Company's steamboat, the
