Iroquois Compare And Contrast
Today I will compare the Inuit the Haida and the Iroquois.

One thing different about all of them is they live in different places in Canada. The Inuit live in the current day northwest territories, Haida in current day British Columbia and Iroquois live in current day Ontario.

Another thing different is their housing. Inuit live in igloos, Haida live in teepees, and Iroquois live in stationary long houses. Another thing that is the same is they all hunt except Iroquois farm and hunt. The Inuit hunt narwhals and seals, The haida fish, and the Iroquois hunt buffalo.

Third, somthing different between one on two is the Inuit only hunted, but the haida gathered plants and hunted, and so did the Iroquois, but the Iroquois farmed not so much

This left the Cherokee with a big decision to make for their entire tribe. Would they relocate West ,or stay for the White settlements to invade where they call home. After all, the Cherokee had owned the land for over 10,000 years. It was not the United States’ land to take. This is why many of the Cherokee Nation felt the need to stay. Others wanted to move because they felt that if they did not, then the United States territory would override the Cherokee customs and they would have to follow United States laws. Clearly the best chance of survival for the Cherokee was to stay in…

Many of us assume that the Native Alaskans and Native American share a common or at least similar culture but that can also not be further from the truth. The truth is that they historically…

A thousand years ago the Inuit religion was basically referred to as animism. Animism is the belief that everything has a soul, including the animals (Watson, Bratton, no date). The Inuit religion of the past was centered on myths, rituals and beliefs. The Inuit religion of today has changed from worshiping and praying to several spiritual Gods to worshiping only God the Father in Heaven.
