Abenaki Native Americans have occupied northern New England for at least 10,000 years. There is no proof these ancient residents were ancestors of the Abenaki, but there is no reason to think they were not. 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.

Overview of the Far North The region known as the Far North area extends more than 5,000 miles, all the way from the Aleutian Islands in Alaska to Labrador in Canada. Although most of it lies in northern Alaska and northern Canada, the culture area also includes territory in Siberia (part of Russia) to the west, as will as in Greenland (part of the kingdom of Denmark) to the east. The Arctic Culture Area touches upon three oceans-the Pacific, the Arctic and the Atlantic. The climate of the Far North is fierce. Winters are long and bitterly cold, with few hours of sunlight. In the northernmost latitudes of the Arctic beyond the Arctic Circle, the sun never rises above the horizon for part of the winter, resulting in the phenomenon known as the midnight sun. Likewise, for part of the summer, the sun never sets below the horizon. During the long winter, the land is covered by ice. The subsoil never thaws, remaining frozen all year in a state known as permafrost. When the surface ice thaws during the short summer, the water does not drain, but forms numerous lakes and ponds along with mud and rising fog. The Arctic Ocean freezes over in the winter, and then breaks up into drift ice during the summer thaw. The cold Arctic has little precipitation. It is actually a frozen desert. Arctic blizzards are not characterized by huge amounts of snowfall. Rather, gale-force winds stir up what surface snow already exists, forming snowdrifts.

Native Americans Today A Early Cultures in North America Scholars hotly debate when and how the first peoples—the ancestors of today’s Native Americans—arrived in the Americas. What is clear, however, is that Native Americans have lived in North America for countless generations and thousands and thousands of years. Such extended, deep connections to the land strongly link Native Americans to the American landscape. Most Native Americans insist that their ties to the land extend beyond the reach of memory and that nonnative peoples should recognize and respect such ties.

His research interests include liturgical studies and American Indian religions. It is a Native American tradition to introduce oneself before one speaks. In that spirit, I begin with some steps in my own journey of listening to Native Americans. I acknowledge at the outset that for most of my life I did not listen, maybe could not listen. But for a decade now, I have been attempting to listen to Native Americans. "Attempting" is the appropriate word because I am very much aware that I bring preconceptions, hardheadedness, and lack of attention to the conversation. Even worse, Native Americans have taught me that I carry a much heavier burden. I view the world from the conqueror's point of view, which informs everything I do. I knew this intellectually, but in listening to Native Americans I understand more concretely and in some detail what it means. I only dared propose a course on Native American Religions because I had researched Navajo prayer forms for two papers that I presented, one in 1985 at the annual meeting of the North American Academy of Liturgy and the other in 1991 at the biannual meeting of

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)

It is thought that their ancestors crossed a land bridge linking Siberia to Alaska around 30,000 BC.There was gradual movement south to the Great Plains of (the yet to be called) America. The enormous size of America compared to the small number of people meant new arrivals settled far apart from each other. They lived in isolated groups, which became separate 'nations' or tribes. Each tribe had the space to develop their own individual language and traditions.

Native American THE APACHE PEOPLE of the Southwestern Deserts Various Apache peoples (including the Navajo) came from the Far North to settle the Plains and Southwest after AD 1000 in three desert regions (Great Basin, Sonoran and Chihuahuan). The word Apache is most likely derived by the Spanish from a Zuni word meaning "enemy." Subsequently, many groups of Southwest peoples were labeled "Apache," resulting in a considerable array (40+) of "Apache" groups, often with tragic consequences. The various groups usually hunted and gathered in the more mountainous regions, but also practiced some gardening or trade for cultivated plant products (CBS). Today, the major Apache groups include the Jicarilla (New Mexico), the Mescalero (New Mexico) and Western Apache (Arizona. 15 reservations). The Chiricahua Apache were removed from their own reservation in 1876 and sent to prison in 1886. Subsequently, some Chiricahua relocated to Oklahoma and some joined the Mescalero Apache in southern New Mexico. Today, Apache groups have been very successful in ranching and recreational facilities; especially ski resorts in some of their beautiful mountain areas.

In 1492, Christopher Columbus landed in what Europeans called the 'New World'. Columbus 'found' a land with around two million inhabitants. He thought he had found a new route to the East, so he mistakenly called these people 'Indians'. These people, correctly known as Native North Americans, must have been shocked at the arrival of Columbus. Within a hundred years, Europeans were trying to settle in America. This snapshot examines what happened between these early European settlers and the Native Americans. Using primary source evidence you will investigate what the early contact was like. Were the Native Americans savage and vicious hosts? Were the Europeans unreasonable and unfair? Or did they all just get along fine? You need to find out what happened. The evidence comes from 1607. This was the year that the first permanent English settlement was established in North America, known as Jamestown. These first settlers - and those who sent them - were keen to find out about the area, keen to see how they could benefit. These settlers began to explore - and they soon encountered the Native people. Using the information they recorded, you are going to examine their initial thoughts and feelings.

TOPIC: Native American Spirituality Editor Donna Ladkin The papers relating to this topic are: Carol Lee Sanchez. Animal, Vegetable, and Mineral. Jack D. Forbes. Indigenous Americans: Spirituality and Ecos Introduction to the Topic There were over one thousand different tribal peoples indigenous to the North American continent when Europeans first arrived in that territory. Each tribe had its own set of festivals, rituals, and spiritual beliefs, therefore to write of 'Native American spirituality' as one entity would be erroneous. However, common features are apparent across tribal peoples, pointing to some of the assumptions which inform the spiritual beliefs and practices of those indigenous to the North American continent . Spirituality played a central role in the lives of many of these peoples, for as Angie Debo writes: he [the Indian] was deeply religious. The familiar shapes of earth, the changing sky, the wild animals he knew, were joined with his own spirit in mystical communion. The powers of nature, the personal quest of the soul, the acts of daily life, the solidarity of the tribeall were religious, and were sustained by dance and ritual. This piece attempts to highlight some of the key aspects which Native American peoples share in terms of their spirituality. There is much that has been written in this area, and the brief list of suggested books I offer may provide a starting point for those wishing to pursue this area further.

North America ENVIRONMENT: Native North Americans Divided Over Oil Drilling Plan for Arctic Refuge By Paul Weinberg TORONTO, Jan 4 (IPS) - Aboriginal peoples in the far north of North America are expressing strong differences over the proposed drilling for oil and gas in the 7.6-million hectare Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in the US state of Alaska. On the opposing side are the 7,000 Gwich'in Indians half of who live in Canada's western Arctic while the rest reside on the Alaska side. More supportive of the development are Alaska's Inupiaq Eskimos. US president-elect George Bush, formerly an oil industry businessman himself, is expected to approve the proposed development in what has been described as a rich natural territory of polar bears, grizzly bears, musk oxen, a large herd of caribou and hundreds of species of birds. Bush and Republicans in Washington are seeking to protect the United States buffeted by higher oil and natural gas prices from excessive dependence on non-US sources of energy. Petroleum industry estimates have put the amount of recoverable oil in the ground in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge as high as 16 billion barrels ¡ apparently enough to replace US imports of oil from Saudi Arabia for more than 30 years.

Table Of Contents Environment And Diversity Contacts And Relationships Partners In Trade And War Shrinking Resources ... Links to other related Internet sites he northern part of North America that today is known as Canada was far from being a "vast empty land" when the first white people arrived. It was inhabited from the Atlantic to the Pacific by people who were mistakenly called Indians by the European explorers. They had lived in North America for many centuries and already had names for their communal or tribal groupings. These original inhabitants also had elaborate and varied lifestyles and customs which had evolved through long adaptation to their particular environments. Though the population was small, with estimates varying from 500,000 to 2,000,000, the use of the land was more extensive than those figures indicate. The mobile hunting and gathering way of life of most of Canada's First Nations was land-intensive and thus required continuous movement in search of new resources. Of the two main regions where sedentary societies developed, the Northwest Coast had by far the highest population because of its rich sea and rain-forest resources. In fact, it was one of the most densely settled areas in the world for non-agricultural peoples. The other region was southern Ontario, where the climate and fertile soil allowed for farming.
