In the Classroom Unit Overview Lesson 2 Lesson Two Native Peoples in New England by Angela Goebel Bain, Lynne Manring, and Barbara Mathews Native American history spans tens of thousands of thousands of years and two continents. It is a multifaceted story of dynamic cultures that in turn spawned intricate economic relationships and complex political alliances. Through it all, the relationship of First Peoples to the land has remained a central theme. Though Native Americans of the region today known as New England share similar languages and cultures, known as Eastern Algonquian, they are not one political or social group. Rather, they comprised and still comprise many sub-groups. For example, the Pequots and Mohegans live in Connecticut, the Wampanoag reside in southeastern Massachusetts, while the Pocumtucks dwelt in the middle Connecticut River Valley near today's Deerfield, Massachusetts. Like the elders of other Native communities, Algonquian elders have traditionally transmitted important cultural information to the younger generations orally. This knowledge, imparted in the form of stories, includes the group's history, information on origins, beliefs and moral lessons. Oral tradition communicates rituals, political tenets, and organizational information. It is a vital element in maintaining the group's unity and sense of identity.

Their respect for the wisdom of their elders, their concept of family responsibilities extending beyond the nuclear family to embrace a whole village, their respect for the environment, their willingness to share - all of these values persist within their own culture even though they have been under unremitting pressure to abandon them.

" Rather than going to church, I attend a sweat lodge; rather than accepting bread and toast [sic] from the Holy Priest, I smoke a ceremonial pipe to come into Communion with the Great Spirit; and rather than kneeling with my hands placed together in prayer, I let sweetgrass be feathered over my entire being for spiritual cleansing and allow the smoke to carry my prayers into the heavens. I am a Mi'kmaq, and this is how we pray. " Noah Augustine, from his article "

Encyclopedia Entry for Native American Dictionary Definition of Native American Native Americans American Indians Amerindians , or Red Indians ) are indigenous peoples , who lived in the Americas prior to the European colonization ; some of these ethnic groups still exist. The name "Indians" was bestowed by Christopher Columbus , who mistakenly believed that the places he found them were among the islands to the southeast of Asia known to Europeans as the Indies. (See further discussion below). Canadians now generally use the term First Nations to refer to Native Americans. In Alaska , because of legal use in the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act ( ANSCA ) and because of the presence of the Inuit Yupik , and Aleut peoples, the term Alaskan Native predominates.

O AFFILIATIONS O CURRENT EVENTS O MUNICIPAL WEBSITES O PROGRAMS O PUBLICATIONS O REGIONAL INFO NATIVE AMERICAN HISTORY The Five Nations above were listed in order of their territory across New York State, with the Senecas being the westernmost Nation, and the Mohawks being the easternmost, Their great territory was viewed by them as being a large imaginary Longhouse, (the symbol of tradition and the homes in which all members of each clan family lived in those days,) so the Seneca and Mohawk were entrusted with keeping watch over the western and eastern doors, respectively. (Thus, their names "Keepers of the Western Door" and "Keepers of the Eastern Door.") Although the legendary Seneca homeland was more toward the central part of New York State, (near Canandaigua, NY,) their territory spread west, eventually absorbing the Erie (or "Cat") Nation which once lived along much of Western New York. Seneca territory would spread far into Pennsylvania and Ohio through the period of the American Revolution, mingling with other Nations along the way. The Erie Nation was nicknamed the "Cat" Nation, due to their custom of donning outfits consisting of the full hides and heads of locally slain black panthers.

Craig Space Historia : Natives in Eastern North America Natives in Eastern North America Ancient Ontario A map showing the extent of Missippian cultural influence at the height of the Mississippian civilizations, ca. A.D. 1200-1500. Modern archaeological sites and modern Toronto are noted. The tip of Southern Ontario is circled. Modified from "Atlas of Ancient Archaeology", by Jacquetta Hawkes, Page 234 From the period about A.D. 600 until 1500, southern Ontario was on the fringe of the great Mississippian and South-Eastern agricultural civilizations. The ancestors of the Iroquoian peoples probably settled in this area at a very early period. Ancient Ontarians: Economy and Culture Copper was mined north of Lake Superior and in the interior of the province, and traded as far away as the American south and the Gulf of Mexico. Seashells from the Gulf have been found as far north as Ontario. Native peoples in Ontario farmed corn, beans and squash, and supplemented their diets with fish, shellfish, wild game and other foods. Though they had very large villages and towns, this area probably functioned as a distant fringe of the great Mid-American mound-building societies. The settlements of these ancient peoples in southern Ontario seem to have been fairly mobile. They would cut down a patch of forest for farming, and then move on. These ancient Ontarians left many remains all over the province. We know a lot about their settlement patterns. They often buried their dead in identifiably characteristic patterns. First, the bodies would be buried. Later, their bones would be re-interred in secondary graves, also called ossuaries. These are found all over southern Ontario. There are several earthen mound complexes in various parts of the province, as well, though their purposes are unknown.

Craig Space Historia : North American Native History Today North American Native History Today A town in the state of Quiz-Quiz, pre-European Mississippi. >From "Native Land: Mississippi 1540-1798", by Mary Ann Wells, Page 25. The U.S.A. and Native People "I have heard talk, and talk, but nothing is done. Good words do not last long unless they amount to something. Words to not pay for my dead people, they do not pay for my country, they do not protect my father's grave. Good words will not give me back my children. Good words will not give my people good health and stop them from dying. I am tired of talk that comes to nothing. It makes my heart sick when I remember all the good words, and all the broken promises." Hin-mah-too-yah-lat-kekht (Chief Joseph), Nez Perce, in speech at Lincoln Hall, Washington, D.C., U.S.A., 1879 Trivializing native history seems to be especially important to the modern myth of "America", in the U.S.A., with the public veneration of Christopher Columbus and other European mass-murderers. If the real truth about these villains was generally known, they would not be celebrated. Learning the whole truth about Columbus, Thanksgiving, the "Pilgrims" or past American betrayals and violence can be a deeply humiliating experience for someone raised to think only the best about their country. In particular, American society seems to have an abiding problem dealing with anything even remotely controversial or unpleasant. Traditionally, the American settlers were some of the most vicious of all Europeans in the Americas. Texans went on "coon hunts", where Indian woman and children were butchered for sport, and bounties were often offered to the public, much like the Spanish efforts and often worse. In fact, during the period of American expansion, native peoples often fled to Spanish-controlled areas for better treatment. This says little about the good nature of colonial Spanish policies; it says more about how callous and evil-minded the American settler administrations were.

53. Native Peoples Of North America - Adena After 2000 years ago, sweeping changes occured in burial customs with mound intermentsbecoming far more elaborate native peoples of north America Home Page http://www.cabrillo.edu/~crsmith/adena.html

An Introduction to North America's Native People ADENA Towards the end of the Archaic (shortly before 3000-4000 years ago), some societies in the Eastern Woodlands began burying their dead in low, natural ridges and hills. Then around 1000 B.C., perhaps earlier, morturay rites assumed increasing importance and complexity - people began building small artificial mounds under which their dead were buried (a few mound burials date as far back as 5600 B.C. in Labrador). By 500 B.C. this burial mound ceremonialism extend across a broad region of the Eastern Woodlands, from the western Appalachians to the Mississippi Valley, and north into Wisconsin and Michigan. Perhaps the best known of the early burial mound building cultures is the Adena of the central Ohio Valley (dates span time from about 2800 BP [800 BC] to 100 AD). Although people often speak and write of an Adena "culture," in actuality the term is really a label of convenience that covers dozens of Eastern Woodland cultures that thrived in the period between 3000 and 2200 years ago - cultures that varied markedly in material culture but were bound together by a shared ceremonial complex, the Adena. Adena sites (many are now destroyed) are concentrated in a relatively small area - around 300 sites in the central Ohio Valley, with perhaps another 200 scattered throughout Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia and Pennsylvania. The importance of the Adena complex comes from its considerable influence on other contemporary cultures and cultures that came after it.

I N T HE B EGINNING All humans are interested in their origins and try to account for their existence through creation stories. Creation stories commonly explain how people came into existence, how they came to be live where they do, how they acquired tools and customs, and why people should act, or not act, in certain ways. Most commonly creation stories contain fundamental conceptions of nature, society, and how people ought to relate to the world and to one another. All societies have such creation stories. Every native North American society has such stories recounting the actions and deeds of "power" in the past. Here are two such stories. Life . . . rests on five successive periods. Its first was...self-born. That was the divine spirit, the first cause, the desire to be. Then came the creation; the creation of being, the bringing into begin of material thingsthe starts of heaven, the elements of earth and atmosphere, life in its elemental form, the desire to live and survive.... The first earth's environment was one of mistsimmaterial, unformed. The second was of water, with land portions floating on it. During this period all sea life was conceived and developed. The third stage brought the coming of animals and bird life of many kinds along with elemental human types. The fourth stage was a time of earth wandering, a search by Navajo forebears for a durable home. This was found; the land of turquoise skies. The fifth has been of gradual advance...of the Navajo people.

First Floor : African Ancient Civilizations Armor/Eurasian Asian ... Oceanic NORTH AMERICAN INDIAN Introduction If there is one common belief, it is the emotional power of Indian art. The character of Indian objects is emphasized by the range of regions, cultures and styles represented, from prehistoric to modern, from nature to fantasy, from ceramics to wood, and from bone and ivory to textiles. The differences make us realize how an object affects us as human beings and believe in a human bond and the power of art to bridge cultural distances. Cultural Areas Indian culture areas are defined by geographic regions where art and artifacts reflect particular communities and a certain way of life. Before 1492, when their cultures were altered by the white man, Native Americans were comprised of many similar groups that included a large number of nations and groups with distinct differences: Eastern Woodlands, Northwest Coastal, Plains, Inuit, and Southwest.

Without question, the American view of the "Indian" is "just like we saw it in the movies." Like most screen comics, silent star Harold Lloyd could not miss the chance to play a farcical Indian as in Heap Big Chief (1919). In slapstick and romantic comedies, the cinema Indians were absurdly portrayed. Courtesy author's collection. If Native American ethnography were based only on the Hollywood studios' presentation, we would believe that the Apaches were the largest tribe in the United States. We would think, if we relied on "Indian films," that there were no tribes east of the Mississippi except perhaps the Mohawk, and that North America was unoccupied through the entire Great Lakes and central region but for an occasional savage remnant-perhaps a stray Yaqui or two who had wandered in from the Southwest. We almost never have a Pueblo Indian or Hopi on the screen. Real danger comes from the Plains: the Cheyenne, the Kiowa and, of course, there are the Comanche who, according to screen legend, "killed more whites than any tribe of history." Better known for his sepia-toned still shots, Edward A. Curtis pioneered cinematography of Native Americans. With Curtis operating the camera, the Kwakiutl "actors" begin a scene from In the Land of the Head-Hunters on location in the Pacific Northwest. Circa 1914. Photo by Edmund Schwinke.

Native American Spirituality Profile Beliefs Groups Native Americans and Christianity ... Bibliography I. Profile The diversity of American Indian tribes precludes a comprehensive examination of their religions and their belief systems. Anthropologists have compiled a huge trove of information detailing practices and beliefs of many different groups; this information remains isolated from popular culture. While there is a proliferation of popularized versions of Native American spirituality, these are often not the products of the tribes or their members. The beliefs and practices of many groups are sectarian derivatives of other native groups, and there is also a significant infusion of Christianity, and more recently, New Age beliefs and practices permeating these traditional beliefs. The origins of contemporary Native American religion, and that of their recent ancestors, can be traced back 30,000 to 60,000 years with the arrival of the first groups of people from northeast Asia. The religion of Native Americans has developed from the hunting taboos, animal ceremonialism, beliefs in spirits, and shamanism embraced by those early ancestors (Hultkrantz, 3, 12). Since these peoples settled in America slowly and in small groups over several thousand years, we still lack precise immigration knowledge. Beyond the directly inherited traditional Native American religions, a wide body of modified sects abounds. The Native American Church claims a membership of 250,000, which would constitute the largest of the Native American religious organizations. Though the church traces the sacramental use of the peyote cactus back ten thousand years, the Native American Church was only founded in 1918. Well into the reservation era, this organization was achieved with the help of a Smithsonian Institute anthropologist. The church incorporates generic Native American religious rites, Christianity, and the use of the peyote plant. The modern peyote ritual is comprised of four parts: praying, singing, eating peyote, and quietly contemplating (Smith, 167-173; Anderson, 41).

59. North Cascades National Park: Native People the north Cascades National Park so far has only to archeology available through thenorth Cascades Institute and Use of Indigenous Plants by native americans. http://www.nps.gov/noca/native1.htm

North Cascades Native People INDIGENOUS PEOPLE Native people have lived along the Skagit River for many centuries. Many different bands have traditionally occupied the Skagit valley. Today these bands are represented by the Upper Skagits, the Sauk and Suiattle tribes, and the Swinomish. Archeologists have found evidence that the Upper Skagit band lived in the area now called Ross Lake National Recreation Area at least 8,000 years ago. The archeology of this area tells the story of a people who lived from the land through fishing, hunting, and gathering. The Newhalem area is a known fishing and hunting area as well as the head of canoe travel on the Skagit River. The name Newhalem is a corrupted Lushootseed word for "place where the goats are snared." (Lushootseed is the language of the native people around Puget Sound.) In the winter, you can often find the mountain goat on the slopes visible from near the North Cascades Visitor Center near Newhalem. The mountain goat provided wool which was used to make clothing and blankets. Newhalem was also a place for salmon fishing. It is evident each autumn, when the salmon are spawning, why the Upper Skagits chose this area to fish. The archeology that has been done in the North Cascades National Park so far has only scratched the surface of the story of these ancestors. NORTH CASCADES TRIBAL USE LINKS WITH THE PAST Places around the park still bear the ancient names given to them by the native people; for example Sahale, Nooksack, Shuksan, Nohokomeen, Hozomeen, and Stehekin. The Chelan tribe has left some special markings on the cliffs around Lake Chelan known as pictographs. These drawings made with red ocher, a natural form of iron oxide used as a pigment, are a continuing link with the past. A replicated panel of one of the Lake Chelan pictographs can be seen in the North Cascades Visitor Center at Newhalem. The exhibits there display some examples of stone tools and a piece of ocher used by native people of the North Cascades.
