ESSAY: NATIVE AMERICAN CULTURE
Here is your goal for this assignment:
Write an essay on the culture of a present-day Native American tribe of your choice
Choose one of the present-day tribes of Native Americans and write a report on their culture. Write about their ancestors; their ways of meeting the basic needs of food, shelter, and clothing; and their economic system. Write about their values and beliefs and about the roles of the men and women in their society. Include a section about their enemies and their friends. Describe some of the tools, utensils, or other artifacts the people made and used in the past. Use an encyclopedia to help you tell how they were alike and how they were different.
The Crow are a tribe of Native Americans who belong to Siouan language family and live in the Great Plains culture area. Their name for themselves, Apsaalooke (pronounced opp-sah-loh-kay), was misinterpreted by early explorers as “people of the crows,” or simply “crow.” It actually meant “children of the large beaked bird,” a nickname given to them by their neighboring tribe, the Hidatsa. The bird that they are named after, which was described as a fork-tailed bird resembling a blue jay or a magpie, may now be extinct.
The Crow first encountered Europeans in 1743 near the town of Hardin, Montana. The men they encountered were two Frenchman brothers, the La Verendryes. The brothers called the Indians beaux hommes, which meant “handsome men.” The Indians called the Canadians baaschaiile, which meant “person with yellow eyes.”
The Crow were originally an agricultural tribe. They lived in permanent villages along the upper Missouri River, living peacefully alongside their neighboring tribe, the Hidatsa. The Crow moved westward toward the Yellowstone River area (east of the Rocky mountains) sometime before the early seventeen hundreds. On the Plains, they became nomads, following the great herds of buffalo on horse back. They lived in portable tipis and practiced the Sun Dance, a religion also practiced by other Indian tribes. They grew a single crop, tobacco, which played a religious role in the secret Crow Tobacco Society. One other religion they practiced is the Crow Way.
Crow woman were in charge of the home. They cooked and cleaned, and when the tribe moved, they took their family’s tipi apart and put it back together again. The men were warriors, responsible for finding food and keeping their family safe. The men used powerful bow and arrows, war clubs, spears, and hide shields as weapons. Sometimes a Crow woman, especially a widow, would ride into battle or even become a chief, but this was rare. Both men and woman took part in storytelling, artwork, music, and traditional medicine. Crow children mostly helped around their camp. They had more work to do then they do now, just like colonial children. They did have dolls, toys, and games to play, also like colonial children.
Crow women wore long deerskin dresses. Crow men wore breechcloths with leather leggings and buckskin shirts. Both men and women wore moccasins on their feet. A Crow lady’s dress or warrior’s shirt was fringed and often decorated with porcupine quills, beadwork, and elk teeth. Later, Crow people adapted European costume such as cloth dresses and vests, which they also decorated with beading and traditional ornaments. Today, Crow only wear traditional attire on special occasions like dances and weddings.
Crow Indian leaders sometimes wore the long warbonnets that Plains Indians are famous for. Traditionally, Crow people only cut their hair when they were in mourning. Crow men sometimes made their hair even longer by weaving horsehair into it. Some Crow chiefs had hair so long it trailed on the ground. Crow men and women both wore their hair either loose or in two braids, but Crow men often styled the front of their hair into pompadours or other styles, and sometimes wrapped their braids in fur. Crow women didn’t consider their hair as important as some Plains Indian women did. In the 1800’s, many Crow women started to cut their hair to shoulder length, but Crow men continued to grow theirs as long as possible. The Crows also painted their faces for special occasions. They used different patterns for war paint, religious ceremonies, and festive decoration.
The Crows traded regularly with other tribes of the Great Plains and the Western Plateau. Some of their favorite trading partners included the Mandan and Flathead Salish tribes. These tribes usually communicated using the Plains Sign Language.
The Crow also fought wars with other tribes. Plains Indian tribes treated war differently than European countries did. They didn’t fight over territory but instead to prove their courage, and so Plains Indian war parties rarely fought to the death or destroyed each other’s villages. Instead, their war customs included counting
Resolved Question: What a weird dream… Three in one night, and they all were weird and/or violent. Dream about lego people?
Ok. I had some weird dreams last night, and I wanted not only to share, but also wondering if you had any imput?
First dream:
I was at some party - not the kindof party you’d think of though. It seemed like we were on vacation or at some cub scout thing because there were tabled of different things. I remember there being a lot of shiny confetti. Then I saw this girl that goes to my school that no one talks to except me and a few other people. She was just sitting there, so I talked to her, because I didn’t really have anyone to talk to either. We talked for a while, then the setting of the party changed to like a dollar store or something. We looked at the vending machines, and there was one that had something about virtual monsters or something. I asked her if she had any money, and she got out a dollar bill. She put it in and the machine started talking about the different monsters it could give us. I asked how we would be able to play with it after we left, and it said something about being able to get it with my Mp3 player. So, then she said that wouldn’t work so she got change back from the machine. That dream ended.
Second dream: I was with some kind of mob boss or something that was going on a killing spree. He decided to kill this one person by dousing him with gasoline and shooting him. Suddenly, the lady who owned the store we were going this in front of came out, and she said something about not putting a barrier up. Suddenly, he shot, and the whole car exploded, and the car door slammed all of us. I remember getting up and going back in the store and buying a giant football hat that went over my head. I went back to the store with these people a few weeks later, and they were closing. I remeber being very distressed about this, so I went in while I remember they were going to kill again. The lady explained something to me, but I don’t remember very well….
Then they killed again (I actually saw the body…..) and then we went home. I have no clue what I was doing with these people and I don’t know wether I was related to them or something.
Third Dream:
I was at some old and dusty playground with a bunch of little kids. They said we could go on some slide… A couple of kids went down and got hurt. I went down, and some lady said I needed to make some swimming trunks or something. Suddenly, I thought about it, and swimming trunks grew over my pants and then the pants dissapperared. (Was this a lucid dream?) Then I saw someone I didn’t know, but he seemed to be my friend. He was black and had dreadlocks. I think he said his name was Johnny or something. We went through a crowd of people, and I guess we stole a horse or something. We raced through the forest, and we ran off a cliff, and fell down a vertical trail. I remember not feeling anything when we fell. We were on some kind of raft, and we were on some kind of river. When we came out, there was some girl with us. I knew this one. (Not the same on from dream 1.) So then we stole a car and drove it through a mall. We ate and then Johnny offerd me a smoke. I told him I didn’t smoke, but I did like the smell of cigarette smoke. (I do actually, which I know is weird) Then I took it and it gave me the most wonderful feeling when I inhaled. I knew this was bad becuase I don’t smoke and don’t plan to. Then I used the restroom and we finished eating. Then we drove though the mall again and then we came back to where my parents were. (I think I was running away in the dream.) So, obviously, this wasn’t planned. I came to the part in wherever we were that had this giant lego people display. I remember looking at the sword display. There was one that said “sword of satanic rituals” or something and that really spooked me. Then I met my parents and my two friends had dissapperared. Then I got blown up to the top of the building, and somehow my parent’s car was sideways. Then I woke up…
So, what the heck does this mean??? T_T
Thanks for reading! ^-^
Voting Question: have i been replaced? its gotten so bad im being sent to a clinic next monday…..?
sofia. thats her name. the one they hang out with now. the one i see walking arm in arm with them down the corridor in front of me, laughing their heads off at her hilarious jokes while they dont realise im following silently behind. its cruel to be like that though. blame her for everything. when she just came in the middle of it and had no idea and its really all my fault for letting them slip away like that without reaching out and speaking my mind for once. but, still. some childish part of me wants to go up to them and scream, “why? why are you doing it? why did you do it? how is she so much better then i am? why? didn’t you see i was fading away? didn’t you see i was disappearing before your eyes? can’t you see ive lost 20 pounds since she first came? can’t you see i cry on the bus everyday on the way home because i spend my recesses in the library doing my homework by myself or reading books, because now, since you’ve deserted me, i don’t have anyone to be with? can’t you? can’t you? why? after what i did, after changing myself and helping you guys through tough times and after trying so hard to respect who i thought you were, repressing my own desperate need to tell you guys my mom told me she was dying, after keeping it all in so you guys wouldnt have to worry or feel bad about yourselves, sofia just comes along and suddenly im out of the picture?why? can’t you even see what you’ve done? why did you do it?” but i know i will just break down, cry, most likely. i don’t want to cause a scene, i don’t want them to feel bad, i just want to suffer in the quietest of corners and not harm anybody, but i can’t. i just can’t. i have to tell them, but i suck at speaking my mind, revealing my true feelings for anyone, let alone people i can trust, people ive known for ever, my true friends. i have not known kaja and elise for ever. Only since august. but still, we got close, and now, the closeness we worked so hard to build was all destroyed, and the closeness i had with them was washed away and reoriented around her, sofia. why? i don’t know. maybe it was because i was sick for a week.maybe because ive been sick ever since. i don’t know if that has anything to do with why they did it though. but please!!!!!!! help me, somebody!!!!!!!! im so tired of this, so tired of repressing tears and feelings and myself and so tired of seeing them with her, even though i know i am the one to blame, even though it is also their fault, for replacing me and not having a second thought about it.
help me. please. anything would help. please help. this has resulted in like, mental problems. i don’t eat, unless i have to. i have become extremely stressed, i throw my lunch in the river for the ducks to feed on, i eat half a banana for breakfast and enough for dinner so that my parents don’t think im starving myself. i can’t do it anymore. i need someone to talk to. please, help me…………….please……how should i confront them about replacing me?
Can you tell us an interesting fact about your local area? Where you live or work, any interesting facts about it?
