Native American and Puritan Writings The Beginnings Native American and Puritan Writings

Essential Question In what specific ways did the environment in which they lived affect the writings of the Native Americans and Puritans?

Native Americans Misconceptions Actualities Europeans thought Native Americans were uncivilized brutes. Native Americans had created language and well-organized societies long before the Europeans arrived. Europeans discovered America and formed the first settlements. Native Americans occupied the Americas for thousands of years and established settlements. Native Americans used pictographs (pictures that represented words and ideas); developed a highly respected oral tradition. Europeans thoughts Native Americans had no literature because they had no written language.

Native American Oral Tradition Passing stories from generation to generation by way of storytelling. Teaching moral lessons Respect for nature Work ethic Honesty/integrity Explained things Native Americans didn’t understand Creation of the world Floods/storms Seasons/cycle of the sun

Native Americans and Nature Because of their close relationship with nature, animals and birds were featured in most Native American myths. Animals shared the same characteristics as the humans.

The Puritans King Henry’s decision In the 1500s, Henry VIII separated from the Catholic Church Wouldn’t grant him a divorce from Catherine of Aragon. Created the Church of England; required citizens to follow his teachings Practiced intolerance; persecuted those who failed to convert.

What is a Puritan? Puritans were a group of English Protestants during the 16th and 17th centuries They had a more severe form of religion, and it was often constrained by laws in England Felt that the English Reformation wasn’t enough and wanted to evoke MORE change

The Puritans Depart Puritan=purify Church had become corrupt Goal to return to a concentration on the Bible Escaped Henry’s persecution; start over in the new world (first went to Holland) Arrived with the goal of obtaining religious freedom.

Puritan Belief in God The “true” believers in God Preached God was unmerciful, angry and hard to please. “Good works” to earn his favor. Divine Predestination: God determines a person’s destiny (heaven/hell) before birth. “Protestant Work Ethic” Unified in effort to protect society Work hard in name of God Protect their sanctity

Hypocrisy Reigns Because they were the “true” believers, those who deviated were wrong! Intolerant of others who didn’t believe as they did Persecution, jail, exile Wasn’t their original goal religious freedom…..?
