In the summer, they tended to their gardens and harvested crops. They collected roots, barries, fruit, and nuts, and used these to create medicines and food. They also made baskets from black ash trees. The second prophecy story told how the Anishinabek believe that a special boy will be born to show the people the path to their new home where the food grows on the water. The fifth area of the exhibit is called winter lodge. This shows how the elders of the Anishinabe have stories that have been told and songs that have been composed about how reliable they are. Families of the Anishinabek had to repair and forge new tools for hunting, trapping, fishing, gathering crops, and other activities. In the Ziibiwing center I saw some stone weapons and tools displayed in a protected …show more content…
The both the customary and current courses in which the Anishinabek individuals incorporate music into their lives. Music is played at services, festivities, in their everyday lives.

This is the history of a beautiful region that takes place back in 1850’s when the Sioux and Winnebago tribes lived in these lands. These tribes spread around the Midwest mostly for their food, which include buffaloes (wild Bison), deer, antelope, and wild turkey and hens, wild fruits cherries, berries, and plums and wild vegetables potatoes, spinach, and prairie turnips. These tribes lived in peace and harmony until Joseph Hewitt and James Dickirson arrived in the area in 1851. Joseph Hewitt and James Dickirson settlement soon became an amicable town. Hewitt traded goods with the indian tribes and Dickirson had rich soil for farming.

In the Pregroup Stage (Forming) the group leader (helping professional) must decide how to screen individuals for the group. This can be done individually in an interview, by holding a pregroup meeting with potential group participants, or via written or videotaped descriptions of the expectations of the group. The burden of shaping a productive and successful group lies on the group leader as they screen potential members for the group. The pregroup meeting provides the group leader the opportunity to not only share a description of the group and expectations with potential group members, but also allows them to observe potential group members as they share and interact with one another. The individual interview offers the most effective screening process by meeting with the client one on one to identify their needs, expectations, and commitment to the group. The interview provides the helping professional with the opportunity to challenge myths and misconceptions held by the potential member, and to convey and procure information. Along with the pregroup meeting, the individual interview allows the group leader the
They display vary from actual replications of stores, the wildlife that can be found here, and the Native American artifacts that were found in this city. Most of the exhibits are pleasing to look at and well organized. They did a great job with making the replica store displays interactive with getting to press the button to hear the telling of what is being viewed and getting to learn more about this area from history. Some areas, though, are more cluttered and hsve quite a lot to try and take in all at once. An example of this is the area with the war memorabilia. In the display case there is a lot of objects such as photos or items like canteens and clothing items all lumped together. It is neat to look at and learn more about the army and war our veterans were a part of, but this display is bit overwhelming. There does not seem to be any true inaccuracies in the displays at the museum. There could potentially be small ones like an item being put in the wrong display in the store replications that might keep it from being completely historically accurate, or the dinosaur exhibit could be inaccurate because the dinosaur replica is of one that was thought to have roamed here. There is chance that it may not have which leaves it open to the potential to be a historically inaccurate
Here in Michigan we have things like the Soaring Eagle casino in the lower peninsula to remind of us of the Native Americans, and the farther we go north the more refuges we can come across. In Michigan we even have towns and schools like Central Michigan University’s mascot is a the Chippewa named after tribes. I noticed most the Native American tribes are west of the Mississippi river while New York City is the most populated city with Native Americans according to Schaefer, Richard. T. (2015) Table. Largest of the tribes and reservations is the Navajo at the top of the list. Here in Michigan the Chippewa Indians are the largest Native American tribe. Chippewa Indians were one of the few tribes where the people were relocated rather than
A beavers dam and crack the ice in 40-50 different places. The beavers would then have to come out of the broken holes in the ice. Moose were the Mi’kmaq’s most productive food and were hunted from February to mid March. Meat and fish would then be dried and smoked to preserve them. Berries, roots and edible plants were also a source of food for the Mi’kmaq, (Nova Scotia 3; Davis 27).
With all the chaos present in Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter, there is a central point at which the novel revolves around: Hester Prynne’s sin. Because of her adulterous actions, she is mocked by both modern and Puritan society. It is through her character as an adulteress that D.H. Lawrence scorns and evaluates Hester Prynne’s flaws through his use of brief diction, sarcastic tone, and biblical allusions.
8. Zinn attempts to prove the Indians were not inferior by saying how they had developed into egalitarian communities, larger populations, more divisions of labor among men and women and had built irrigation canals, dams, were doing ceramics, weaving baskets, and making cloth out of cotton. A culture known as Moundbuilders had built enormous sculptures out of the earth that were miles long and many other tribes had tool makers, potters, jewelry makers, weavers, copper engravers and saltmakers. The Indians were able to govern themselves by working together and lived in peace with no laws, sheriffs, judges, juries, courts, or jails. Their culture was complex, and although they did not have a written language they kept their history going orally with song and dance and their relations among men women and children were more beautifully worked out than probably any other place in the world.
The Iroquois (/ˈɪrəkwɔɪ/ or /ˈɪrəkwɑː/), also known as the Haudenosaunee (/ˈhoʊdənoʊˈʃoʊni/), are a historically powerful and important northeast Native American confederacy. They were known during the colonial years to
The Native American Indian tribe called the Iroquois contributed greatly toward America. They have many stories about the world, and how things came to be the way they are.

They also use a romantic aspect, which is represented by God’s and the super natural.

The wada plant, a “seed that was tiny but available in great quantity”; allowed for the mass congregation of the Wada-eaters, as they collected the seed “as well as the seeds of goosefoot, Indian Ricegrass, Great Basin Wild Rye, mule-ear, and other desert plants” (Aikens 17). October-November permitted “the time for deer hunts, antelope drives, and rabbit drives” (Aikens 17); while signaling the time for winter preparation. December-April gave away to the winter, where tribes spent time in their respective encampments enjoying the fruits of they labor achieved during the preceding months, with the occasional escapade “out for fishing, waterfowling, and hunting” (Aikens 17). Through these seasonal influences, we can see that the Northern Paiutes social behavior and migration patterns were greatly affected by the environment. Spring, summer, and fall months were spent hunting and gathering in anticipation of the winter to come. The environmental factors that provided for bountiful harvests of seeds, berries, and meat also provided for gathering places “where people could also come together and celebrate, exchange, trade, provide courtship rituals, marry, form alliances, and other important social

I chose to research Leonardo Da Vinci's paintings and why he painted the way that he did. I chose this because I wanted to learn more about how and why Leonardo painted what he did. He was so famous for his works and he changed the face of art and how people looked at art. He was the first artist to use value constantly across his colors and paintings. He changed the way that people also looked at light and color. They are now related in a way that approximates and also describes their scientific and natural behavior. In one of his paintings he introduces a broader range of luminance that is seen. He uses it to make dimensions that he shows with his use of light and dark. It is called Chiaroscuro "a style of shading that dominates the tone
