Cold War Interact Contact Links Native Indians of North America The Native American Indians are studied in the Autumn Term of Year 8. We focus on two main culture areas: The North West Coast Indians such as the Kwakiutl and Haida, and the Indians of the Plains such as the Lakota Sioux and the Cheyenne. The Native Peoples of North America have a history rich in legend and culture, which still survives today despite the actions of the US Government. On this page you will find links to sites to help you with your research. You can visit Virtual Museums and see primary artifacts, as well as sites created by experts on the topic.
A good place to start is First Americans a site created by US students. The Plains The Indians of the Plains are possibly the most well-known of all the culture areas because of the Hollywood movies. However not many people know that before the European invaders introduced the horse to North America, the Plains peoples lived in a settled, agricultural lifestyle.
Their nomadic lifestyle meant that they lived in temporary homes called tepees . You can read short history of the Sioux nation, the most well-known of the Plains tribes, and visit other nations such as the

In the 50 years following the end of Reconstruction, African Americans transformed American life once more: They moved. Driven in part by economic concerns, and in part by frustration with the straitened social conditions of the South, in the 1870s African Americans began moving North and West in great numbers. In the 1890s, the number of African Americans moving to the Northeast and the Midwest was double that of the previous decade. In 1910, it doubled again, then again in 1920. In the 1920s, more than 750,000 African Americans left the Southa greater movement of people than had occurred in the Irish potato famine of the 1840s.

The West is the most geographically diverse region of the country, with several geographical regions running north to south. Along the Pacific Ocean coast lie the Coast Ranges , which are usually not very tall. They collect a large part of the airborne moisture moving in from the ocean. Even in relatively arid central California, the Coast Ranges squeeze enough water out of the clouds to support the growth of coast redwoods. East of the Coast Ranges lie several intensively cultivated fertile valleys, notably the San Joaquin Valley of California and the

Perspective for the Next Phase of the Movement Build the new united civil rights movement to defeat
the rightwing attacks on minorities and on immigrants Perspective for the next phase of the struggle The new civil rights movement that BAMN has built in defense of affirmative action has shown the way to defeat the rightwing attack on civil rights and on immigrants. The young activist civil rights leaders must use this conference to clarify ourselves politically and strategically and to prepare for a large-scale development of integrated anti-racist struggle for equality in California, on the West Coast and throughout the country. We have to learn from our victory at the US Supreme Court in defense of affirmative action. It is mass, militant, integrated struggle that can beat the rightwing, just as the 50,000-person civil rights march organized by BAMN at the US Supreme Court secured the upholding of affirmative action in the University of Michigan cases. The whole series of attacks on affirmative action, integration programs and on immigrant rights has been originated by the same set of rightwing, racist forces in the Republican Party. It is a matter of practical strategy and logical consistency to interweave the different elements of our struggle against racism and for equality. The rightwing forces responsible for these attacks comprehend the interconnection of the attacks on affirmative action, integration and on immigrants’ rights. We must as well.

high temperatures on a given day in the United States to reach 70 degrees Fahrenheit (about 40 degrees Celsius). The United States owes much of its national character and its wealth to its good fortune in having such a large and varied landmass to inhabit and cultivate. Yet the country still exhibits marks of regional identity, and one way Americans cope with the size of their country is to think of themselves as linked geographically by certain traits, such as New England self-reliance, southern hospitality, midwestern wholesomeness, western mellowness. This chapter examines American geography, history, and customs through the filters of six main regions:
  • New England , made up of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.
  • The Middle Atlantic , comprising New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland.
  • The South , which runs from Virginia south to Florida and west as far as central Texas. This region also includes West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, and parts of Missouri and Oklahoma.
  • The Midwest , a broad collection of states sweeping westward from Ohio to Nebraska and including Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, parts of Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas, and eastern Colorado.

Celebrating National Native American Heritage Month Totem Test The Wow of Powwows A Quick History Lesson: Some Native American Tribes Take a Totem Test! 1. True or False? Totem poles were an important part of the Potlatch ceremony. True. Carved from mature cedar trees by the Native people of the Northwest Pacific coast, full-size totem poles are outgrowths of the region's aboriginal art forms. They were originally an important part of the Potlatch ceremony, a feast with deep meaning to coastal First Nations. Totem poles were once carved and raised to represent a family-clan, its kinship system, its dignity, and its accomplishments. A totem pole served, in essence, as the emblem of a family or clan and often as a reminder of its ancestry. 2. True or False? Totems were once worshiped. False. They are emblems, not icons, and have never been worshiped. 3. True or False? Totem poles are solemn and always very serious. False. Sometimes there are jokes woven into totem poles, such as figures "accidentally" carved upside down. Tricks are sometimes played on the pole's sponsor. If the person paying for the pole annoys the carvers too much, he might be portrayed on the pole a little too naked (!). A touch of carved-in amusement is part of the tradition. 4. True or False? Totem poles all use the same symbols.

Native Oral Traditions
Long ago, they say, when the earth was not yet finished, darkness lay upon the water and they rubbed each other. The sound they made was like the sound at the edge of a pond. There, on the water, in the darkness, in the noise, and in a very strong wind, a child was born. First Born made the earth.
First Born made the earth.
Go along, go along, go along.
It's going along. Now all will remain as it is. I F WE ARE to speak of the literature of the American West, we must speak first of the native American literatures, for each of the two or three hundred tribal communities living in the West has invested this land with traditions of story and song. The reciprocal relationship between man and the land is a common denominator for all native literature. The land is our source, and here, in Mary Austin's phrase, "the land sets the limit." Within the limits the land sets, it remains for man to imagine ways of seeing and talking about it, ways of knowing it. First Born emerges from the land only to turn back and create it with story and song. The Papago communities who join together to tell of First Born invest the land with meaning. They make the land into a cultural landscape. Cultural landscapes are social and cumulative. They are the natural result of a process which has been carried on for centuries in native communities on this continent. Cultural landscapes are made whenever communities of people join words to place. They enable man to feel a sense of place, to hear the darkness rub the water.
