Find out here! Use the cheat sheet to find just what you need! Cheat Sheet Introduction Daily Life Manners Furniture ... Make your own Totem Pole (out of paper) Introduction What was life like 2,000 years ago in what is now the Puget Sound region of Washington State? All of the west coast tribes were considered rich by the other Indian nations . Of all the coastal Indians, the Tulalip, Swinomish, Lummi and Skagit tribes were considered the most rich. These were the Indian tribes who lived in the Puget Sound area of Washington State. What made these tribes so wealthy? It wasn't the discovery of oil, although these early people did love to dunk their food in whale oil to give it flavor. It wasn't the discovery of gold or silver, although these early people were talented artists. They would have made gorgeous jewelry from gold and silver (if they had discovered gold or silver!) But, they did not use metal of any kind. They did not have gold statues or iron pots or brass weapons. What made them so rich and famous? Food! An abundance of food and safe, sturdy shelter made them famous. Two thousand years ago , the Puget Sound Indians used to tell visiting tribes that sometimes the river was so packed with salmon you could walk across it on the backs of fish without getting your feet wet. These early people were famous for their "tall tales" - but it was true that the waters were filled with of salmon. Clams were thick on the beaches. There was an abundance of all kinds of fish and seafood. The woods were full of elk and deer and other animals. There were blackberries and raspberries and salmonberries and nuts. Cedar trees were everywhere. The Indians used cedar to build their homes and to carve everything from canoes to eating utensils. Softened cedar bark was used to make shoes, clothing, blankets, toweling. You can see why other Indian tribes, struggling to survive in other parts of the country, would consider the Puget Sound Indians "rich"!

Extractions: Great Lighthouses Washington: Lighthouses of the Pacific Northwest Cape Disappointment Cape Flattery Cape Destruction Grays Harbor Cape Disappointment Lighthouse , Washington, - 1856 Open to public; active aid to navigation; owned and managed by Coast Guard. Oldest operating lighthouse in the Pacific Northwest. Area has lots of history. Cape Disappointment received its name in 1778 from fur trader John Meares, who was looking for a river. When he decided that no river existed, he called the area Cape Disappointment. Lighthouses of the Pacific p. 135-6). The second shipment arrived in 1854 and then it took two more years to build at a cost of $38,500. This was more than 1/4 of the original amount of $148,000 allotted for the original 8 lighthouses for the West Coast. In 1864 received unwelcome neighbors when Fort Canby was erected to guard the Columbia River during the Civil War. Blasts from the big guns used to shake the lighthouse and occasionally break windows. During World War II, Japanese submarines surfaced off Fort Stevens on the South side of the river and lobbed in several shells at Fort Canby. The Fort is a Washington State Park and popular picnic and camping grounds. Early Keepers Stories: Joel Munson, keeper in 1860, upset by the many shipwrecks, decided to raise money for a life-saving boat by holding square dances in Astoria, where he played the fiddle and charged $2.50 entrance fees.

Native American Beadwork leather (usually clothing, moccasins, or containers) and beaded strands (usually used for jewelry, but sometimes also as ornamental covering to wrap around a gourd or other ceremonial or art object) For beaded leather arts, Indian craftspeople sew each bead onto a leather backing (or cloth, today). A related craft, quillwork , involved softening and dying stiff porcupine quills and affixing them to leather, to birchbark, or to other crafts. Indian quillwork largely died out as an art form when seed beads became available to the northern and Plains tribes, but today some native artists are taking a renewed interest in quilling. As for beaded strands, Indian craftspeople stitch the beads together into strings or a mesh, using sinew, thread or wire. Beading strands and beading onto leather are both very complicated, time-consuming and delicate tasks which require many years of practice to do well. If you are looking to buy beaded art that was actually made by Native Americanseither because it's important to you to have the real thing or because you want to support native people with your purchasethen here is our list of American Indian artists whose beadwork is available online. Hopefully this can provide you with a good starting point. This list is by no means completeplease

Extractions: Lacrosse was one of many varieties of indigenous stickball games being played by American Indians at the time of European contact. Almost exclusively a male team sport, it is distinguished from the others, such as field hockey or shinny, by the use of a netted racquet with which to pick the ball off the ground, throw, catch and convey it into or past a goal to score a point. The cardinal rule in all varieties of lacrosse was that the ball, with few exceptions, must not be touched with the hands. Early data on lacrosse, from missionaries such as French Jesuits in Huron country in the 1630s and English explorers, such as Jonathan Carver in the mid-eighteenth century Great Lakes area, are scant and often conflicting. They inform us mostly about team size, equipment used, the duration of games and length of playing fields but tell us almost nothing about stickhandling, game strategy, or the rules of play. The oldest surviving sticks date only from the first quarter of the nineteenth century, and the first detailed reports on Indian lacrosse are even later. George Beers provided good information on Mohawk playing techniques in his Lacrosse (1869), while James Mooney in the

Extractions: The Iroquois League, or Five Nations of the Iroquois, was the most powerful Indian military alliance in the eastern part of North America and probably the most successful alliance of any kind between so many important tribes. There were three principal clans - deer, turtle and wolf - existing within the five nations, and this was probably an important unifying factor in the league. The league was formed in the late sixteenth century at which time the five nations had a combined population of 7000. What a confusion of facts. After reading through several texts and visiting many sites on the web, it has become clear as mud that everyone has a differing opinion about the relationships between these three tribes. We will therefore include them all on one page and maybe through your wanderings, you will discover the truth. If you do, please let us in on it. The Creek were originally one of the dominant tribes in the mid-south and later became known as one of the Five Civilized Tribes. They were known in their own language as Muskoke or Muskoge, by the Shawnee as Humaskogi, by the Delaware as Masquachki and by the British as the Ochese Creek Indians, hence the present name. Their name has been adapted for that of their linguistic group and for Muskogee, Oklahoma, which was a major city of the Creek Nation in Indian territory.

Extractions: Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Native American fighting styles helped the indigenous people on the North American continent repel, unsuccessfully, the encroachment of the European expansion into the territories. Many Native American tribes viewed warfare as both a physical and spiritual experience. The killing of an enemy warrior was considered, generally, to be the least important part of battle (being more ritual than predatory). Native American ritual fighting with enemy tribes was not expensive in terms of lives lost nor was it composed of a search for destructive weaponry. Some of the Native American fighting styles could be regarded today as forms of guerrilla warfare , in the French and Indian War for example. Over 400 years, the experiences of other Native Americans, such as the Seneca Indians with Europeans resulted in decades of conflicts, but typically were ultimately disastrous for the Native Americans. The Native Americans performed well during earlier conflicts against European advances. The Native American fighting styles also influenced the English settlers. In the 15th century , Europeans introduced the horse to the Americas and the Native Americans became excellent horse back warriors. The introduction of the horse had a most profound impact on Native American cultures in the Great Plains of North America. This new mode of transportation made it possible for some tribes to greatly expand their territories. Later, the

In Colorado, the Utes' reservation agent, Nathan C. Meeker, William Vickers, a Denver editor and politician, and even Governor Frederick Pitkin published articles in the Greeley Tribune and Denver Tribune testifying that the Utes were uncivilized, and falsely accusing them of setting fires and creating other problems. Reports like these aroused public fear, anger, and hatred, and soon citizens were calling for the removal of the Utes to a reservation. Governor Frederick Pitkin As political pressure mounted, the accusations against the Utes provided an excuse to bring the military to the reservation. When troops approached, a battle ensued, and Agent Meeker and other men at the reservation agency were killed by Utes. Afterward, Pitkin told the papers the battle was an unprovoked attack by the Utes, and called upon the citizens of Colorado to "wipe out the red devils." As civilian militias mobilized across the state, the Utes were marched 350 miles to a reservation in Utah.
