I agree that cancer was correlated to increased animal protein intake. I agree grass is very high in cancer fighting nitrilosides. The Hopi Indians have had cancer rates of 1 in 1000 as opposed to 1 in 4 for the typical American. Many cultures and tribes around the world are "rumored" to be cancer free. The modern way of raising livestock and poultry might cause high cancer rate. They eat plants high in nitrilosides. If they eat plants they are more health than we are. I agree with some things the author thinks in the article.…
The Hopi Indians are a tribe who belong to the Southwest group of the Western Pueblo people. They live in northeast Arizona at the southern end of the Black Mesa. Being that they are a large group of people, the United States federally recognizes them as a tribe, giving them a political status as a tribe, and making them eligible for funding and services from the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The Hopi had religious ceremonies and rituals represented by Katsina spirits. These spirits represented the essence of things in the living world, being manifested through in human forms. They are also one of the most secretive and closed tribe, since they do not disclose details of their ceremonies.…

The Hopi are a Native American nation that resides in the northeastern region of Arizona. “Surrounded by the Navajo nation, Hopi’s have inhabited the same villages for a millennium and are considered to be the oldest dwellers in the land on which their reservation resides” (The Hopi Indians). These Indians refer to themselves as Hopitu, which translates to “The Peaceful People”. The ideas behind Hopi are carried out through the actions that are executed when following the objectives of Kyavtsi; “maintaining the highest degree of respect for and obedience to moral standards & ethics, so as not to knowingly abuse, alter or oppose the progressive order and cycle of nature and the sacred manifestations of the creator’s teachings” (Traditional Values and…

In his book published by Sage Books in 1969, Pumpkin Seed Point: Being within the Hopi, Frank Waters documents in detail his 3 year account of living with the Hopi tribe. Many say that his account is perhaps the best, one in which he relives their rich traditions and history. In his work, Waters composes more of a diary involving his experiences with the Hopi. He shares his introductions to various people he meets over his three year adventure. The book was a very easy read that definitely educated me on the Hopi cultures, traditions, and history. This book is a "beautifully written personal account of Waters' inner and outer experience in this subterranean world".…

Just like every other culture, the Cheyenne had traditions and lifestyles. The Cheyenne’s land consisted of grass - covered prairies, because the Cheyenne had vast stretches of land, a good war pony became a man’s most precious possession. The Cheyenne lived in the areas of present day: Minnesota, Oklahoma, Montana, and some parts of Colorado, South Dakota, and Wyoming, so the tribe had many hot summers and cold winters. The Cheyenne lived in tepees, a tepee was made of wooden poles covered in weather - proof buffalo hides, because they were quick to put up and easy to take apart. The men of the tribe would hunt large animals: deer, antelope, wild sheep, elk, and buffalo. While the men hunted animals the women were responsible to use buckskin…

The influence of Westerners has changed the Hopi way of life and much of their language and traditions have been lost. However, many Hopi have persevered through Western influence and have worked to keep their rituals and beliefs alive. “The Hopi are fully aware that they cannot simply return to their past way of life, but they also refuse to acquiesce to the 'civilizing' structures of the United States” (Loftin 84). This important characteristic of perseverance of the Hopi has allowed them to prosper with what they have. Much of original Hopi land has disappeared with the influence of Westerners. This fact has changed the nature of many Hopi traditions because the Hopi rely on their land and it is crucial to their way of…
The Blackfeet Indians, or Blackfoot Indians in Canada, was a confederation of four factions. They were called Blackfeet because their moccasins were painted black. The tribes are called the Siksika (or called the North Blackfoot, or the Proper), Kainah (or called the Blood), North Pikuni (North Piegan) and South Pikuni (South Piegan). These tribes controlled territory from the North Saskatchewan River in Alberta, upper Missouri River in Montana, and on the west by the Rocky Mountains (Waldman). Due to their language, it’s believed that they migrated away from other Algonquians, who settled by the Great Lakes (Waldman).…
These earth lodges were usually big enough to shelter up to seven families at a time. For example, “The Mandan Indians lived in settled villages of round earthen lodges. Mandan lodges were made from wooden frames covered with packed earth. When Mandan men went on hunting trips, they often used small buffalo-hide tepees as temporary shelter”(source A). This shows that the houses the Mandan people lived in were lodges made of earth and usually very large enough to hold seven families. This also shows that when the men were on hunts they set up buffalo hide tepees as temporary shelter. The Mandan clothing was very unique because the man and women wore many different animal hides. For example. “The clothes worn by the Mandan men consisted of breechcloths, fringed buckskin tunics and leggings. Warm buffalo robes or cloaks or blankets were also worn to protect against the rain and the cold”(source B). This shows that the Mandan wore many different types of animal hide clothing. This also shows that they used their resource that nature provided to them. All in all the mandan people had very unique living and clothing…
There are three geographical-linguistic groups, but when they’re looked at as a collective, they’re known as Blackfoot. The term Blackfoot is most likely coined due to the practice of coloring their moccasins with ashes. The three groups got together only during ceremonies. The Blackfoot were known as one of the most aggressive groups in North America because when they fought, it was typically raiding enemies for horses or just getting revenge. Their homes were usually made out of bison hide which was supported by poles. During the summer, they lived in big camps where they engaged in activities such as the Sun Dance. In the winter they separated into groups of of 10-20 families. There were multiple leaders, but only one…
The Shawnee survived using various methods of hunting and gathering. Both men and women had responsibilities in providing food. They hunted many animals including deer, squirrel, turkey, raccoon, bear, muskrat, rabbit, and ducks/geese. They set traps for the animals, and they disguised themselves to blend in with their surroundings to get close enough to club or shoot them. People never wasted anything; they used all the different parts for different things. In January and February they hunted beaver for their pelts and meat to trade with the settlers. In the summer time they, and during fall, groups of men and women would leave the village and hunt. Small temporary lodges were used.…
The native American Standing Rock Sioux Tribe has a legitimate concern. These particular grounds have been under their influence for hundreds of years. This tribe along with many other have the right to express their concern. It is not uncommon for Native American tribes to live off land immediately within their proximity. If the water was to be contaminated it would have dire consequences for this tribe and many others. It would probably be safe to assume many burial sites and locations of worship would be disturbed as well. Any self-respecting corporations would recognize this dilemma immediately and take the appropriate actions to mitigate collateral damage, public scrutiny and most the degradation of a prideful…
