Arts were a large part of their culture, they often made pottery for every day use and display. They fufill the stereotype of what indians truly do look like. For example, they wear large and decorated head dresses. Dolls called Kachina dolls were carved of wood. Turquoise stones were precious stones, and baskets were often made as gifts or offerings. They had a well established agricultural system as a result of crop irrigation.


Northwest- A hunter/ gatherer lifestyle. Access to water also allowed them to fish often. Tribes include Tlingit, Alsea, Bella Bella, Cowlitz, Nootka, and many others. They had a fairly well developed agricultural system, and also utilized hunting and gathering. Gathered foods include berries, trees and nuts.


Northeast- The largest distributed Indian tribe across the United States consists of the Northeast, or woodland tribes. They were most likely the most developed tribe as they had their own alliance of confederate states, known as a confederacy. They were resourceful, and established shelters out of the utensils around them. Tribes included in the Northeastern regional tribes include the Shawnee, Wampanog, and Delaware.]]> 2016-09-02 21:00:12 UTC https://padlet.com/js99108/gbid1jdqnzi8/wish/121428068 js99108 https://padlet.com/js99108/gbid1jdqnzi8/wish/121455212 (Southwestern)]]> 2016-09-03 16:03:05 UTC https://padlet.com/js99108/gbid1jdqnzi8/wish/121455212 glickmanmia https://padlet.com/js99108/gbid1jdqnzi8/wish/121499212 Prior to the arrival of Europeans, and prior to the establishment of the Colombian exchange, Native American people were given no choice but to adapt to, and make use of the natural resources given to them.
For example, the prime cause for Southwestern Indian success in farming was due to their irrigation techniques. It is important to keep in mind that the Southwest climate is dry and rocky; and had they not established a irrigational system, they would not have been able to grow anything. Their adaptation methods enabled their food sources to grow.
The Northwest tribes were surrounded by water, therefore fishing was prevalent, and a major source of food. Their houses we're made of wood and log.
The Northeastern Indians, as mentioned before, were resourceful, and utilized trees, and tree sap in order to develop their shelters. Due to the fact that they were woodland indians, the access to wooded areas, trees, and dirt allowed building opportunities.
Overall, the Native Americans were savvy, and did well when it came to working with the resources given to them.]]> 2016-09-04 19:33:00 UTC https://padlet.com/js99108/gbid1jdqnzi8/wish/121499212 glickmanmia https://padlet.com/js99108/gbid1jdqnzi8/wish/121499618 What were other areas of the world like prior to the Columbian exchange?]]> 2016-09-04 19:44:14 UTC https://padlet.com/js99108/gbid1jdqnzi8/wish/121499618 glickmanmia https://padlet.com/js99108/gbid1jdqnzi8/wish/121499820 The concept of Native American chiefdom was a European concept.

Enslaved people had less of a legal obligation to serve their superiors. Instead, they were forced into this lifestyle. They were seen as property, and ownership was determined by superiority.

The term serf is derived from the Latin word "servus" which translates to slave. Serfs belonged to their land, in the same way that slaves were workers on plantations. In both cases, whether serf or slave, workers were often born, and often died on the same land.

New animals and crops were not the only things that went to the Americas, new diseases, such as small pox and yellow fever, were introduced to them as well.
