DESCRIBE THE EVOLUTION OF THE FOUR EARLY NATIVE AMERICAN CULTURES.

NOT EVEN ON THE RADAR paleo archaic woodland mississippian The groups had bigger weapons then just the bow and arrow and the atlatl. they had farming tools to grow crops. they ate berries the evolution for the four early native american cultures are gold, god, glory.

CRITICAL NEED The evolution of the four early Native American cultures were that the Paelo Indians were the first people to come to Georgia, the Archaic came second, the Woodland Indians came third, and lastly were the Mississippians. the first group wich was paleo were the leat advanced used spears and later the woodland they used bows and arrows but then after the woodland the mississipian people made houses and stayed settled in one place and made thier houses protected

EMERGING they started out hunting mammoth bisons to to eating vegitables. they had grooved axes, spears, over time they found out how to make bows and atlatls. they moved to keep track of food. The woodland lived in dome houses. The paleo indians used spears. The archaic indians also made pottery and traveled by season. The mississippian indians had big tribes and ate corn.

PROGRESSING The first of the Natives were that Palio's, the weapons they had to hunt with was the Atlatal. Next was the Arcaic indians. They upgraded from the atlatal to the grooved axe. Then the woodlands came up with the bow and arrow. They came up with the idea from the atlatal. Last was the mississippian indians. They had all the metal weapons and metal farming tools. The evolution of the tools and weapons they used changed a lot over time.

MEETING The four groups of early people grew from simple to advanced. Paleo Indians were not very advanced in anything. The only tools they really had were the atlatl and spears. The paleo were also nomadic and went where there was food. When the Archaic period came along, they had advanced a lot more. They invented pottery, and they had found new animals to hunt for food. The Archaic were more permanent and followed the food by the seasons. The Woodland people created the bow and arrow, started to farm, created tribes, made dome houses, and stayed in villages. The Woodland period was really a time of growing and expanding. The final period of Indians was the Mississippian. The Mississippian people created chiefdoms, had palisade forts to live in, were agriculturally advanced, and made enormous burial mounds. A big difference from the original Paleo people.

EXCEEDS The evolution of the Paleo, Archaic, Woodland and Mississippian Native Americans was incredible. The Paleo were nomadic people who hunted big game with an atlatl. The Archaic moved with the seasons and hunted game like deer, foxes, beavers, rabbits, etc. with their rounded-like axes. The Woodland people lived in small tribes in dome houses and hunted small game with their bow and arrow. The Woodland were actually the first farmers. The Woodland people were the first to leave behind religious evidence: burial mounds. Finally, the Mississippians lived in gigantic tribes with 1000 or more. They had palisades to protect their people. They were the most advanced in agriculture. They grew tobacco, maize, and squash. The Mississippians left behind humongous burial mounds. This gives proof they believed in a higher power. You can see the great advancement that took place in the four Native American cultures. All the way from sleeping in dirt to living in a "gated community" you could say, with their palisades and advanced agriculture. The advancement through the cultures is astonishing.

So now what? Explain the impact of the Spanish contact by explorer Hernando de Soto on the Native American cultures. Describe the evolution of the 4 early Native American cultures. We practice.
