Section 2-Native American Cultures

Chapter Objectives Section 2: Native American Cultures I can describe the cultures of Native American groups of the West, the Far North, and the Eastern Woodlands.  I can describe the agricultural techniques of the Woodlands Native Americans.

Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. (pages 20–22) The West The culture of most Native Americans developed in response to their environment.  The West had many small groups that adapted to the variations in the region’s climate and geography.  The Native American groups of the Southwest farmed like their ancestors.  To survive, they depended on several species of corn that could withstand the dry soil.

Boys joined the kachina cult.  A kachina was a good spirit who visited Pueblo towns with messages from the gods.  Native American groups who lived along the Pacific Coast fished.  They used lumber from the forests to build homes and to make canoes, works of art, and totem poles. The West (cont.) Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. (pages 20–22)

Farther inland, Native Americans fished, hunted, and gathered roots and berries.  Between the Sierra Nevada and the Rocky Mountains, where the weather was much drier, the Native Americans were nomads.  In what is today California, the abundant wildlife and mild climate allowed Native American groups to gather acorns, fish, and hunt. The West (cont.) (pages 20–22)

Before 1500, Native Americans of the Great Plains were farmers.  Around 1500 those Native Americans in the western plains became nomads, possibly because of drought or war.  They followed migrating buffalo herds and lived in tepees.  Those in the east continued to farm and hunt.  When the Spanish brought horses to North America, Native Americans of the Great Plains began to use the horses for hunting or for wars. The West (cont.) (pages 20–22)

(page 22) The Far North The Native American groups of the Far North included the Inuit, whose territory stretched across the Arctic from Alaska to Greenland, and the Aleut of Alaska’s Aleutian islands.  The groups of the Far North hunted for food and invented devices, such as the harpoon and the dogsled, to cope with the harsh environment.  They used whale oil and blubber for fuel.

The Eastern Woodlands The Native Americans in the Eastern Woodlands had an environment that supported an abundant range of plant and animal life.  These Native American groups hunted, fished, and farmed.  Deer provided food and clothing.  Most peoples of the Northeast spoke one of two languages: Algonquian or Iroquoian.

The Algonquian-speaking peoples lived in areas that later became known as New England, Delaware, the Ohio River valley, and Virginia.  The Iroquoian-speaking peoples lived in what is today New York and southern Ontario and north to Georgian Bay.  Native Americans of the Northeast practiced slash-and-burn agriculture.  They cut down forests and burned the cleared land, using the rich ashes to make the soil more fertile. The Eastern Woodlands (cont.) (pages 23–24)

The peoples of the Northeast lived in large rectangular longhouses, with barrel-shaped roofs covered in bark.  They also lived in conical or dome-shaped wigwams that were made using bent poles covered with hides or bark.  The peoples of the Northeast made belts called wampum that were used to record important events and agreements. The Eastern Woodlands (cont.) (pages 23–24)

The Iroquois lived in large kinship groups, or extended families, headed by the elder women of each clan.  The Iroquois often fought one another.  Five Iroquoian groups formed an alliance called the Iroquois League or Iroquois Confederacy to maintain peace.  A shaman or tribal leader, Dekanawidah, as well as Hiawatha, a Mohawk chief, are believed to have founded the Iroquois Confederacy. The Eastern Woodlands (cont.) (pages 23–24)

Most Native Americans of the Southeast lived in towns built around a central plaza.  They farmed and hunted.  The houses were made of poles covered with grass, mud, or thatch. The Eastern Woodlands (cont.) (pages 23–24)
