Do all Indians live in tipis?

No, most American Indians live in contemporary homes, apartments, condos, and co-ops just like every other citizen in the twenty-first century. Tipis are the traditional home of Plains Indians, but in other regions of the Western Hemisphere Native people lived in many kind of dwelling such as hogans, wigwams, longhouses, or igloos.

What is the correct terminology: American Indian, Indian, Native American, or Native?

All of these terms are acceptable. The consensus, however, is that whenever possible, Native people prefer to be called by their specific tribal name. In the United States, Native American has been widely used but is falling out of favor with some groups, and the terms American Indian or indigenous American are preferred by many Native people.

How many Indians lived in America before 1492?

This is sometimes called an unanswerable question that historians nevertheless must try to answer. There is sadly little clear information about populations to be found in historic records or archaeological evidence. Even careful estimates differ widely, as they are based largely on assumptions. For America north of Mexico around 1491, these estimates range from perhaps 1.8 million people to more than 18 millionâ€"a difference of ten times. More recent population figures are clearer. Many historians believe that the Native population of the United States reached its lowest pointâ€"about 250,000â€"at the end of the 19th century. By the end of the 20th century, the population had rebounded to 4.1 million.

How important was Sacagawea to the Lewis and Clark expedition?

Between 1804 and 1806, Sacagawea, a young Shoshone woman; her husband, a French Canadian fur trader; and their infant son accompanied the U.S. expedition led by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark from Fort Mandan on the Missouri River in present-day North Dakota to the mouth of the Columbia River on the Pacific Coast and back. The purpose of the expedition was both to study the area's geographyâ€"its plants, animals, waterways, etc.â€"and to learn how it could be developed for trade. Over time, Sacagawea's importance to the expedition has taken on legendary proportions. It is true, however, that she was a valuable member of the expedition, identifying landmarks in her homelands and helping to communicate with other Indians. Her brother also provided the expedition with horses and supplies, and saved them from a dangerous winter in the Rocky Mountains. Sacagawea's accompanying Lewis and Clark with her baby let other tribes know that this was not a war party. She also shared her knowledge of a great number of local plants, useful sources of medicine and food.

Before contact with Europeans, did Indians make all their clothes from animal skins?

Long before 1492, many Indian cultures made clothing from plant fibers and from the wool of indigenous mammals. Between 3500 BC and 2300 BC, Native people living in Mesoamerica and on the eastern slopes of the Andes in present-day Peru domesticated many varieties of cotton (a plant Native to every continent other than Antarctica). Communities in what is now the American Southwest began cultivating cotton by 1500 BC. As early as AD 300, the ancestors of modern Pueblo Indians were gathering other plant fibers, such as yucca, willow, and juniper bark, processing them, and weaving them into blankets, sandals, and other articles of clothing. The museum's collections include yucca-fiber sandals more than 2,500 years old. Today, Indians make traditional and dance clothing, worn on social and ceremonial occasions, of modern fabrics, in addition to materialsâ€"including animal skinsâ€"used before Contact. For everyday life, Native people wear all kinds of modern clothing, just like everyone else.

Do Indians do rain dances?

Yes, some tribes maintain the tradition of rain dances. Like all human beings, the Native peoples of the Americas recognize the importance of rain. In addition to supporting life, rain is seen by some Native cultures as a blessing and cleansing of the earth. Ceremonies, prayers, ritual art, songs, and dances are among the many ways Native people acknowledge and help to maintain balance in the natural world. These spiritual and culturally important traditions are part of complex religious cycles that take place throughout the year, year after year. It's hard to know when or why these observances were first caricatured or made fun of. The reality of cultural practices such as rain dances is much more meaningful and humanly rich than the popular images convey.

Do Indians have to pay taxes?

Yes, Indians have to pay federal income taxes, the same as other American families. The confusion may lie in the different status of Indian tribes, which are governments and, as such, not taxable by states or the federal government. In addition, U.S. taxes are not levied on federal payments used to compensate individual Indians for the taking of private land, such as treaty land, or the income from trust land, which is held by the United States. With regard to state taxes, Indians do not pay taxes on income earned on reservations or state sales taxes for goods purchased on reservations, but Indians who live and work off reservations do pay those taxes. And because tribes are governments, they have the right to tax peopleâ€"tribal members and non-membersâ€"living on their reservations.

Americans will head to the polls in November 2024 to elect the next US president. The person sitting in the White House's Oval Office has a big influence on people's lives both at home and abroad, so the outcome of this election matters for everyone.

The US political system today is dominated by just two parties, so every president in modern times has belonged to one of them.

The Democrats are the liberal political party, with an agenda defined largely by its push for civil rights, a broad social safety net and measures to address climate change.

It is the party of incumbent President Joe Biden, who is trying to secure a second term in power.

The Republicans are the conservative political party in the US. Also known as the GOP, or the Grand Old Party, it has stood for lower taxes, shrinking the size of the government, gun rights and tighter restrictions on immigration and abortion.

The party hasn't yet picked its presidential candidate.

When is the next US presidential election?

The 2024 election will be on Tuesday, 5 November 2024. The winner will serve a term of four years in the White House starting in January 2025.

Who are the candidates and how are they nominated?

The 2024 presidential campaign is well under way. It started with 15 candidates - nine Republicans, four Democrats and two independents - although some of them have already dropped out of the race.

President Biden announced his re-election bid earlier this year and - despite some long-shot challenges - is expected to win the nomination easily.

In the Republican Party, polls show former President Donald Trump is well ahead of the rest of candidates. There are also some independent candidates, including Robert F Kennedy Jr, nephew to former president John F Kennedy.

The two main parties nominate a presidential candidate by holding a series of state primaries and caucuses that begin in Iowa in January.

There are differences between the parties and the process varies from one state to another.

One of the biggest days is called "Super Tuesday" on March 3 because more than a dozen states will hold their primary contests on that day. It may be clear after that who the Republican party will nominate.

How does the US presidential election work?

Both candidates compete to win electoral college votes.

Each state has a certain number of electoral college votes partly based on its population and there are a total of 538 up for grabs, so the winner is the candidate that wins 270 or more.

This means voters decide state-level contests rather than the national one, which is why it's possible for a candidate to win the most votes nationally - like Hillary Clinton did in 2016 - but still be defeated by the electoral college.

All but two states have a winner-takes-all rule, so whichever candidate wins the highest number of votes is awarded all of the state's electoral college votes.

Most states lean heavily towards one party or the other, so the focus is usually on a dozen or so states where either of them could win. These are known as the battleground states.

Who else is being elected?

All of the attention will be on who wins the presidency, but voters will also be choosing new members of Congress - the government's legislature - when they fill in their ballots.

All 435 seats in the House of Representatives are up for election, while 33 Senate seats are also up for grabs.

Republicans control the House and Democrats are in charge of the Senate.

These two chambers pass legislation so can act as a check on White House plans if the controlling party in either chamber disagrees with the president.

Who can vote?

If you're a US citizen and you're 18 or over, you should be eligible to vote in the presidential election, which takes place every four years.

When do we know who has won the election?

Usually a winner is declared on the night of the election, but in 2020 it took a few days to count all the votes.

The period after the election is know as the transition if there is a change of president.

It's a time for the new administration, including cabinet ministers, to form and make plans for the new term.

The president is officially sworn into office in January in a ceremony known as the inauguration, held on the steps of the Capitol building in Washington DC.

While Thanksgiving is primarily associated with North American traditions, particularly in the United States and Canada, its origins are not Irish. However, there are some intriguing historical connections between Ireland and early Thanksgiving celebrations in America.

1. Native American and Pilgrim Traditions:
Thanksgiving, as celebrated in the U.S., traces back to the early 17th century. The Pilgrims held a harvest feast in 1621 in Plymouth, Massachusetts, to give thanks for their survival and a successful harvest, which was shared with the Wampanoag Native Americans.

2. Religious Roots:
Thanksgiving also has religious origins. English Puritans and Pilgrims would hold days of prayer and thanksgiving for blessings, safe journeys, or military victories.

Though Thanksgiving itself isn't of Irish origin, there are some links:

1. Irish Famine Immigrants:
During the Great Irish Famine (1845-1852), many Irish immigrants settled in North America. Their influence helped shape the cultural melting pot that developed around Thanksgiving, particularly in cities like Boston and New York.

2. Thanksgiving Charity:
Irish immigrants often associated Thanksgiving with a time of charity and sharing, reminiscent of Irish hospitality. Many Irish families in America embraced Thanksgiving as a new tradition in their adopted homeland.

In Ireland, ancient harvest festivals such as Samhain and later Lughnasa were held to give thanks for the bounty of the land. While these are not directly related to the American Thanksgiving, they reflect a shared human tradition of celebrating the harvest and giving thanks.
