Native American Llamas
There are many interesting facts that I have learned from the Native American Video. Some interesting facts that I learned were how the Native Americans would hunt. When the Natives went hunting they would hunt with spears. They would also disguise themselves as animals so the animals that they were hunting for would not run away from them. Another interesting fact that I learned was how llamas wool was one of the best gifts given to them due to how light and warm the wool was and how the Incas used llamas for transportation. Many were able to keep warm with the llamas wool and did not have to worry about the heaviness of the wool because the wool was light. During the video there were a couple of things that surprised me. One thing that surprised

    First, my personal reaction to the protests was that I was amazed how ignorant people can be about Native Peoples’ rights. In the very beginning of the video, we see the cruelty of words being used. People were calling Indigenous people “Timber Niggers” because they were thought to be a nuisance to society. They are criticized for being on welfare (although most lower-class of society today is in fact, on welfare). One person even shared the belief that they would spear a pregnant Indigenous woman in order to save their fish.…

    Native American history taught in school usually is based around Indians traveling across the Bering Strait and living in minor, secluded tribes. Evidence now suggests that these teachings are not entirely true. In Charles C. Mann’s “1491”, Mann writes about Native Indians advancement in agriculture and its population, as well as how the Amazon rain forest might actually be a human artifact and how Native Indians are the reason behind it.…

    Native Americans have long been interested in maintaining cultural traditions they inherited from their ancestors. For Native American tribes with strong oral traditions, the primary sense of history comes from the narratives, stories, and accounts told by tribal elders. Indigenous peoples' stories are as varied as the clouds in the sky and yet have many common elements, whether told by the Cherokee in North Carolina, or the Chimariko in California. In the assortment of Native stories, we find legends and history, maps and poems, the teachings of spirit mentors, instructions for ceremony and ritual, observations of worlds, and storehouses of ethno-ecological knowledge. They often have many dimensions, with meanings that reach from the everyday to the divine. The stories fill places with…

    A popular stereotype given to Native Americans is they are all savages and hunt animals in a very animalist way. This is false when it comes to the Pima tribe, or as they call themselves Akimel O’odham meaning “river people”(“Akimel O’odham (Pima)”). The Pima tribe is known for farming and being very peaceful people. They live in the Southern Arizona and Northern Mexico area on two reservations called Gila River and Salt River. This area in which they Pima people live is also the Sonoran Desert. Even though the culture of the Pima people are slowing dying out it is one that will live forever in history (“History and Culture”). The reason they will be remembered is because of their history, housing and clothing, religion, and agriculture.…

    This source of information about 9/11 attacks is on the conspiracy theory side of the story which holds a lot of questionable facts that make common sense seem like it’s very true.

    The Trudell Documentary taught me a lot about Native American’s that I didn’t know. Growing up, in history class, one of my teachers made a point to state that what America did to the Native American’s was wrong. We then learned all about how we took their land and made them change their lives. Although it is important to know the historical backgrounds to these events, we never really talked much about how the Government was treating Native Americans now.…

    Native Americans were the first people to have arrived in America, and to have built an establishment in America. Many people have a stereotype on how they lived and still live currently, and many Native Americans don’t consent to that at all.

    The discovery that Native Americans' culture is not static, is a relatively new one. With the aid of modern archeology, we now know that the Natives were very complex and were ever changing. The evidence we have now is still basic, but we can still learn a lot from it. Because of the lack of evidence, a lot of controversy is attributed to Native Americans. Some people believe that Natives were perfect beings, living in harmony with nature and others believe that they were savages due to human sacrifices, wars, etc. Natives are also often compared to Europeans who like them, engaged in warfare as well. One large difference is that Europeans had more capability to cause destruction compared to the Natives, due to their technology and organization…
